IMHO, Collateral was Tom Cruise best movie. He really should have won an award for it.
Yes, I believe Kubrick was indeed trying to show the truth in Eyes Wide Shut.
American Made, based on Barry Seal was a “true” story.
I can tell you a story a former Mexican National Presidential guard told me at my house fifteen years ago about when GHW Bush became POTUS. He swears he and other Presidential guards delivered a “present” to the US border from El Presidente of Ol Mexico. A tractor trailer full of cocaine.
Remember how GHW Bush and Ol Billy Clinton became such buddies after they both retired from POTUS?
If we knew 2% of the corrupt unethical stuff that goes on IN our government, we'd be flat out flabbergasted.
