Frequently hilarious biopic loosely based on the life of Barry Seal. Seal was apparently a CIA agent in the 80s responsible for helping to arm the Contras. Life very quickly became rather more complicated after a meeting with a Columbian drug cartel.Cruise is excellent in the part of Seal - even if the physical resemblance isn't exactly striking (in reality, Seal was rather ordinary looking and overweight). Wright provides good support as Seal's long suffering wife.
Verdict: Good companion pic to the Narcos mini-series.
