Tom Cruise used to be a gold medal handsome guy in Hollywood. In recent years, due to some crazy actions and negative reports, his domestic box office appeal has been getting worse and worse. Several works such as "Mission Impossible 3", "Lion in the Mouth of the Sheep", and "Action Target Hitler" have all failed to achieve domestic profits in the United States, and are relying on overseas box office to support them. "Dangerous Spy War" is Tom's latest work in 2010, and it is also a film of great significance to him. If this film can raise the box office situation again, Tom can continue for a few more years. Hollywood stars, and even "Mission Impossible 4" will start filming next year, but the film's weak performance in the United States and abroad has gradually dimmed Tom Cruise's stardom.
Regardless of the starring elements of Tom, "Dangerous Spy War" is a very exciting spy war movie, with funny, action, love, and scenes. This is a very qualified commercial blockbuster. It has traveled to many countries in Europe to film scenes. The medieval buildings in Spain and the carnival of the Running of the Bulls are all in full view. Tom's brave spy performance is also impressive. A good actor is not a false name, and it is not by luck that he has been popular all over the world for more than 20 years. Although Tom Cruise is also playing a special agent this time, the agent named Miller and the role he played in "Mission Impossible" Han Te is fundamentally different. Miller not only gives people a cynical attitude, but also has a strong ability to adapt to changes. He also has a smile on his face from time to time. He is an extremely dangerous person. Although Hunter in "Mission Impossible" is not an ordinary person, compared with Miller this time, Hunter is quite satisfactory. If it weren't for the bad box office of "Dangerous Spy", Tommy could have developed this film into a new trilogy.
The action scenes of "Dangerous Spy" are more exaggerated. Miller seems to be a superhero. He can easily destroy the enemy on the roof of a high-speed car. He is an omnipotent super agent, and his ability seems to be better than that of Bourne. much stronger. It stands to reason that this is a movie that should be a big hit, but the film's failed marketing completely made it worthless at the box office. Regardless of the poster design and the release of the trailer, the film makes people feel that this is an ordinary commercial production. How can it attract the attention of the audience without a maverick style in the summer season when there are so many strong players? Also, although the actress Cameron Diaz is willing to wear a bikini, her bad figure also makes people sigh constantly. From the early publicity to the mistakes in the selection of the heroine, the production cost of "Dangerous Spy" wasted 100 million US dollars. The film won a box office of 20.13 million US dollars in North America in the first weekend, and the cost has been fully recovered in the country. Impossible, Tom's box office myth seems to have come to an end.
