Cruise was very good in "Rain Man" "The Firm" and "A Few Good Men".
He hasn't made anything good in 15 years.
"Eyes Wide Shut" (directed by Stanley Kubrick) was the one of the biggest pieces of poo ever made, IMO. I wish had those two hours back of my life that I spent watching that movie.
EWS was widely misunderstood and mismarketed in 1999 and its reputation will only go up in years to come as happened with Barry Lyndon and The Shining which were also considered disappointments upon release. Ditto 'War of the Worlds' which people were expecitng to be another Independence day.
