Movies Tom Cruise acting performance in Born on the Fourth of July

[Takes Two To Tango]

Arguably his best performance of his career.

Very powerful and moving.

This proved Cruise has major acting chops.

Didn't win the Oscar for best actor. Probably would've if the movie was released the following year.

He acted like Tom Cruise. It was a standard Tom Cruise performance, but this time less reserved and more emotional. He rarely takes on a character; he just does Tom Cruise.

Really? I don't know about that. His previous work before that role, there is nothing that showcased he could he even reach that type of acting in his career. Maybe after the fact you noticed it in other roles. But before that role in this film, there is nothing that told me he could pull this off imo.

Haven't seen it in decades. Maybe I need to watch it again.

Exactly.

Oooh he's playing "sad Tom Cruise" let's give him an Oscar!

Bullshit.

Tom is like Denzel. They always play themselves. And that's pretty much ok because we enjoy watching them play themselves. They are charismatic enough to pull that off.

I liked his fake pube moustache in that film.
