American Made (Universal, 3,024 Theaters, 115 Minutes,\u00a0Rated R for language throughout and some sexuality\/nudity, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/american_made_2017\/\">87% Fresh <\/a>[171 Reviews]): <\/strong>Now this is a role that present day Tom Cruise should be doing! A rogue who is trying to keep several steps ahead of everyone, old enough to know better, still young enough no to care.<\/p>\n<p>Young enough not to care, but not young enough to play Barry Seal, the real life drug smuggler Cruise plays in the movie. Seal was a pilot working for the CIA during the 1980s who also got involved in the drug trade and the Iran Contra scandal. <strong>SPOILER WARNING: <\/strong>Seal was assassinated by the Medellin Cartel in 1986 at age 46, nine years younger than Cruise is today.<\/p>\n<p>But despite that, this is Cruise reuniting with Doug Liman, who directed him in the criminally underrated\u00a0<strong>Edge of Tomorrow<\/strong>. The reviews are good and the film might be worth a look.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HG9lMOUtyXc\" width=\"678\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-41210\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-Releases-Flatliners-poster-229x339.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-Releases-Flatliners-poster-229x339.jpg 229w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-Releases-Flatliners-poster-678x1004.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-Releases-Flatliners-poster.jpg 2025w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/>2.

That film&#8217;s only claim to fame was that it was Julia Roberts&#8217; first film to be released after her breakthrough role in\u00a0<strong>Pretty Woman.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The answer is no one made a remake of that film. This movie is actually a sequel! Yes, one of the cast of the original film appears in this film. Here&#8217;s a hint: It not Julia Roberts. No, she is not the &#8220;designated survivor&#8221; of the first film who appears in this one.<\/p>\n<p>The plot is pretty much the same. A group of med students decide to test and see what happens when you die by killing each other for longer intervals each time. At first, everything seems hunky-dory. Then bad stuff starts happening and everything goes to Hell.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m writing this on a Friday night and there are only 29 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. That means the film wasn&#8217;t viewed for critics. The reason why? All 29 critics gave the film a bad review.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gUDV0CUzG0k\" width=\"678\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Next week, the new releases bring us a sequel to\u00a0<strong>Blade Runner<\/strong>, whether we need one or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">New releases include AMERICAN MADE and FLATLINERS. <\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2017\/09\/29\/new-releases-september-29-2017\/\" title=\"New Releases: September 29, 2017\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":41207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[9341,9342,3853,7922,6580,7906,1340,257,287],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-41205","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-american-made","9":"tag-barry-seal","10":"tag-columbia","11":"tag-doug-liman","12":"tag-edge-of-tomorrow","13":"tag-flatliners","14":"tag-sony","15":"tag-tom-cruise","16":"tag-universal"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2,4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41205"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=41205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
