I really don't think Cruise is that great an actor - Ben Affleck level if you ask me.
This is incredible crap its not even funny.
Top gun, a few good men should have won that oscar, jack reacher, collateral, jerry maguire, cocktails, mi2 did all his own stunts with very plausible action scenes as opposed to the cheap crap, the color of money, risky buisness, war of the worlds I could go on.
The man has a superior resume than the guy that never should have been cast as daredevil.
Cruise is a amazing first rate actor one of the best. He's so far above Affleck its like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford Mustang.
Cruise is above Decaprio in regards to the resume of more great or good movies.
Both are great actors but Cruise I think has a better resume, and his charisma level is marvelous.
Top gun is one of the best so is A Few Good Men.
