Especially because she didn't think much of him early on, probably because of Scientology and his losing popularity ever since he jumped on Oprah's couch. But when you go through his list of movies it's undeniable, it's possibly just him and the other Tom at that elite level. Just have to separate the art from the artist. Also everyone who works with him or meets him says he's a great guy. If he wasn't a Scientologist he'd be at that Keanu Reeves level of adoration.

He said "Be aware of the fact that even if someone likes your script enough to develop it into a movie.

So don't write anything that you feel passionately about unless you are able to direct it yourself."

John Grisham books are all kind of like this. A lot of suspense, some clever lawyering, and generally a satisfying ending. He was a lawyer so legal suspense is his specialty. The ones that have been adapted to movies like this one have been good, entertaining movies often with an up and coming at the time lead actor that is now an A lister and a stacked supporting cast. The Rainmaker with Matt Damon & Danny DeVito, The Client with Susan Sarandon & Tommy Lee Jones, The Runaway Jury with John Cusack and Gene Hackman again, The Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts & Denzel Washington are all quality, gripping movies along with A Time to Kill and this that have already been reacted to.

David Strathairn is in "A League of Their Own" and "L.A. Confidential". Ed Harris is in "Apollo 13" and "Places in the Heart". The Fed, Voyles, is played by Steven Hill, in his last film. A well respected actor, he had memorable supporting roles in a variety of films but is best remembered for the years he spent on the original "Law & Order". The head security man is played by Wilford Brimley, ordinarily a much more sympathetic character in films like "Cocoon" and "The Natural", but very scary in this one. Also, you may not have noticed, but the original score is pretty much entirely solo piano. And, yes, the hit man, Tobin Bell's specialty is looking creepy.

What you and your sister, ultimately enjoyed so much was John Grisham's story (from the original book). Virtually all of John Grisham's books have stories that are this well crafted, and well written. I encourage you to read one sometime, or listen to an audio book while you are taking a long drive.

Edge of Tomorrow is great, but original Top Gun is super cringe. Much like Days of Thunder. People only "like" Top Gun because of the new Top Gun, which was actually good. The old TG is still super cheesy, and Days of Thunder is from that same time when Cruise couldn't act yet

@@shredd5705 what are you talking about, Cruise was an already proven actor with Rain Man and Born on the Fourth. There was a large following of Top Gun before the sequel...hence the highly anticipated sequel. Plus these ladies already liked Top Gun, so Thunder may be up their alley, as the OP suggests.

@@michaeljacyna1973 "Proven actor with a following" Yes, following by all the horny women because of his looks, but he couldn't act worth shit yet. His early movies like "Cocktail" and "Top Gun" were ridiculous.. he was always acting the same egoistic douche character, which clearly mirrored his back-then IRL persona. In "Rain Man" he is also pretty annoying, much like in everything else he had done thusfar. Saved by a good script and Hoffman, but Cruise's character was an annoying douche (no acting required) right until the end. In "Born on the 4th of July" at least he tries to act (first time ever), but the movie is pretty boring, depressing and too long tbh... only thing good about it is that it was a true story, and anti-war message. Top Gun is laughingstock, the subject of hundreds of gay jokes since the 1980s.... There's homoerotic undertone, cheesy-as-they-come romance (when Maverick really wanted to take Iceman's breath away). It's basically a Navy recruiting video (approved by Pentagon, and word is it worked, tons of Muricans wanted to be pilots after it..). As a movie it's ridiculous homoerotic cheese. Top Gun: Maverick took the same concept, and made it actually good, with heart, and less homo, because the script and acting is miles (Teller) better. And because Tom Cruise had matured as an actor. He is already way more mature in this movie, "The Firm". The Firm is actually the first Cruise movie where he can act, and his character is likeable and showing human qualities. Done 3 years after Days of Thunder. Days of Thunder IMDb score 6.0... says it all. That's like under average. Just barely avoids a 5.x score which is the limit of "Needs alcohol to be tolerable". He was still raw as an actor, mostly hired for his looks... And every crap movie including something like "Pearl Harbor" or "Police Academy 5" has a "following" it doesn't prove much... dumb ppl follow dumb things

It's a western (mostly - it has all the usual trappings of one), but it has a GREAT little soliloquy by Hackman, and another by a sadly overlooked character actor - Ben Johnson. Not the greatest movie ever, but very entertaining and one of my favorites (and Hackman's performance in it is a big reason for that).
