tell me how a "German accent" would make this movie more authentic? How about speaking German with English subtitles? A German accent would be a joke. These men are operatives in the German resistance. Would they not speak German, straight up?
Tom Cruise has been a bad actor from the get-go. I think he's gorgeous to look at and can even transcend pin-up status but there is no "there there." He's got no range, no emotional range whatsoever, his voice is flat and when he overacts it's really a disaster [see Magnolia]. I want to root for him, but I've been let down so many times...
I think he is passable in smaller roles and second banana roles, like Rain Man. But otherwise I cringe watching him.
