It won't be much more then that.

Try and find movies where Tom Cruise would accept such a position in a movie... There aren't any... a TC movie with TC in it, will be a TC movie with TC in the lead character, opening , carrying, and closing the entire movie..
Maybe that was all he was offered? Name me a movie He's been in thats either been a success or critically acclaimed over the last 10 years. And I guess you didn't see "Tropic Thunder". Cruise was in it for a small part. He had so much makeup on, it would be easy to miss. I actually liked him in that.

I watched "bastards" last night. Chris Waltz's part was wonderful. He can sure talk so many languages, it was really well played. I HATED the subtitles which were very hard to see, too samll, and too fast. I had to stop the movie to read them at times. I don't know why they cast Brad Pitt as a hillbilly, but it was poor. He didn't add anything to the movie. Overall, B+

Last Samurai was a great movie.

I thought cruise stole the show in Tropic Thunder.

It would have been a better movie if TC wasn't in it.
Ken Watanabe saved the day... TC's acting paled in comparison of what Ken W delivered...

I liked it. I guess BP had to go back to his roots( Apache OK & dad's trucking company)for this character. I liked QT pushing the envelope putting us into situations that aren't always cut & dried.

Doesn't matter if it was authentic, it was entertaining.

I don't know man, but we all KNOW what really happened........................kinda like Titanic, We all KNOW that the boat sinks.............but the story behind the story really just lacked in parts. Could've been a great movie......possibly if Hitler AND all of top men didn't perish together at the theatre in the end

Does a movie like that really need a big name to draw it? With QT directing I would think that would be enought to get people to go even if you had a young upstart starring in it that could do a better good than BP? Do people really go to a movie like that because BP is the star or because the trailers look interesting and it is directed by QT? Could have saved some $$$ as well. Just say'n....

I did like the final scene as well. A QT line if I'ver ever heard one.

Best Pitt movie I think? The Mexican.

You just like it because you have the same haircut.

It is a total PITA to have long hair, I must say. When I grew it for that locks of love deal it was worse than a second job. In the summer I could barely stand it.
