Tom Cruise in Magnolia (1999) didn’t hold back for a second. One of his most intense and emotionally charged performances.

@TheCinesthetic Tom cruise in Magnolia.

When Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat in Interview with the Vampire, even author Anne Rice doubted him then he crushed it so hard she publicly apologized.

I hate to say anything is underrated when talking about Tom Cruise but his performance in war of the world is underrated. You can feel the genuine terror and despair throughout the movie. This is really one of his best

The Mission: Impossible – Fallout trailer still goes insanely hard.

Actors who physically didn't fit a role but still did a good job regardless

During the vault scene in Mission: Impossible (1996), Tom Cruise found it tough to stay horizontal and kept falling onto the floor. He finally solved it by adding coins to his shoes as counterweights, mastering the stunt after three days of practice. https://t.co/Hb1WAwqQD1

It was my favourite dynamic in the movie
