Tom Cruise as mega-hit actor pretty much can do no wrong. Where Kevin Costner excels at boyish buffoonery, Tom Cruise plays cocky like no other. Where Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the ultimate action hero, Tom Cruise’s trademark parts are fiercely determined and angry. Like Arnold, if you can put aside and ignore his personal antics, his films always entertain. Whether it’s Cruise in a small role like way back in Taps and The Outsiders, or the usual leading man role, as with A Few Good Men, Rain Man, Top Gun, War of the Worlds, the Mission: Impossible films, Minority Report, Jerry Maguire, The Last Samurai, The Color of Money, Far and Away, The Firm, or Valkyrie, his films just don’t disappoint.
