No matter what you think of Tom Cruise, the guy does get a lot of movie roles, and I think there are times where can act, but he was miscast in “Valkyrie.”

"..he was miscast in “Valkyrie.”

There was one pretty decent reason why Cruise was cast as Von Stauffenberg...

Aside from that, I understand the Cruise really wanted the role, and he apparently still has enough horsepower in Hollywood to get most of what he wants.

Not that I think Cruise fits the good actor crterium for this thread, he was especially bad in Jerry McGuire.

Basically a chick flick where Cruise's charicter uses his desire for the life his client played by Cuba Gooding Jr has, as the only reason for wanting to have a life with Renee Zellweger's charicter.
