I know it's bombing but I really enjoyed it. Tom Cruise's performance was Oscar worthy, and all the supporting cast were terrific too. The main plot was suitably OTT, mimicking the absurdity of the current US administration, while maintaining enough humour to still be called a satire. The secondary plot was probably the weakest part of the film, but they tied it up perfectly at the end imo.

    In the trailers, Cruise looked like he was doing an impression, not playing a character. Don't know if he was any better in the actual movie, but I don't plan to watch it.

    Depending on your reading this could be deliberate, but in any case it felt spot-on in the movie itself. He has a monologue in the film that goes for like 10-15 minutes and is probably the highlight of the whole thing. Genuinely excellent acting regardless of how you feel about him as a person
