| AARP Movies for GrownupsTim AppeloStill bizarrely boyish, Tom Cruise, 55, hits a recent career high in Doug Liman's American Made. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's a morbidly fascinating comedy, an insinuating mock documentary, and a twisted take on the American dream, audaciously masquerading as a high-caliber thriller. It's one of the most enjoyable movies of the year. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerSuperb storytelling, tense action, wonderful use of music, a lively sense of fun and Tom Cruise at his very best in a tale that is - well - extraordinary. In short, it's great entertainment. |
| Daily Trend (Mexico)Uriel Barco... it's fun, bold, smart and a return to form for Cruise... [Full review in Spanish] |

| MLive.comJohn SerbaCruise is terrific and entertaining, freewheeling and funny, and many years into his career, he still carries himself like one of Hollywood's top guns. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyWriting that this is "historically inaccurate" doesn't do it justice...Regardless of the silly political stuff Liman tries to foist on the audience, the movie is very well done and is highly entertaining. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Ned LannamannThe movie's a bit of a mess, but it does enough things really well that it's always fun to watch. |
