Cruise was good in Risky Business, Color of Money, and very good in Rain Man, but his career has been pretty schlocky since then. Even Risky Business was schlocky, but it was a new idea with a lot of up and coming new actors.
IMHO Eyes Wide Shut ruined Cruise's career for good. It depicted him as a bore and worst of all showed how short he is. People don't forget those images.

The box office of his movies since then should lay to rest the idea that his career is ruined.
