It's impressive he's able to pull off all those stunts in his late 50s and early 60s.
--Michael D. Clarke
Tom Cruise is a true movie star and the fact that he performs his own stunts is just a bonus.
shareThe last true movie star. And I can't think of anyone who has worked with more legendary directors.
shareYou can't?
shareNo, I don't think any actor comes close.
The legends:
Stanley Kubrick
Martin Scorsese
Steven Spielberg
Paul Thomas Anderson
Oliver Stone
Ridley Scott
Brian DePalma
Francis Ford Coppola
Different tier:
Rob Reiner
Tony Scott
Ron Howard
Bryan Singer
Sidney Pollack
Neil Jordan
Camerone Crowe
Barry Levinson
Robert Redford
Michael Mann
Wow, guy has had one hell of a career!
This is why I laugh when people say he isn't a good actor. If that many good directors wanted to work with him, he's gotta be doing something right.
shareAnyone who says he's not a good actor should just watch Collateral & then Tropic Thunder.
Two of his absolute best performances. So freaking fantastic!
Edward Zwick did a hell of a job directing Last Samurai.
shareI always enjoy his movies with the exception of Vanilla Sky.
shareMission: IMPOSSIBLE VII deserved to do better than it did and deserved IMAX over Barbie. When you see Cruise perform his stunts in these movies, they should be in IMAX.. I understand Nolan shot Oppenheimer with IMAX Cameras, but seriously, neither this nor Barbie deserved to be in IMAX or MI:7

'Makes it much less impressive than the stunts from the 70s and 80s with no such CGI interference.'
Remember this 'corkscrew' car jump over the river in The Man with the Golden Gun? Done for real, as you see it, in one take!

He looks better than nic cage. I think cage is older. Cage is starting to look droopy like paul mcartney.
