Seal’s story is a remarkable one that’s told in fittingly extravagant style here, as he gets caught in the middle of the complex American political landscape of the time.

Not only does Seal fly enormous amounts of cocaine from Central America to the USA, he also runs guns from North America to militia group the Contras in Nicaragua, as the US government makes covert attempts to stop the spread of communism.

Seal’s dodgy dealings find him raking in the dosh (so much so that he’s able to add money laundering to his questionable CV), but it’s only a matter of time before this airborne chancer’s scheming catches up with him…

Cruise’s livewire acting chops are put to perfect use in this thrill-a-minute blockbuster, while there’s also fine support in the form of Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Sarah Wright (Parks And Recreation) and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad). Fasten your seatbelt, because it’s one heck of a ride.
