IMO Tom Cruise belongs in the Men Who Look Like Catalogue Models But Can't Act category with the likes of Keanu Reaves. To shine for other than the besotted, they need roles crafted to their limitations, like Cruise's professional ranter in Magnolia or the movie whose name I can't remember where Reaves played an Hindu god, thus not requiring him to emote like a human...

Cruise should watch a few old Steve McQueen flicks. Steve was not considered a heavyweight in his day as his stock character was a morose tough anti-hero, but he was far less caricature than say Lee Marvin. McQueen's techniqe was good however, as he could make any scene with any range as real as a heart attack. My fave scene of his was where he was woken up in his apartment in Bullit. Objectively I had to say someone actually woke him up with a mean hangover. He could put more into pouring a cup of coffee than most actors could a whole soliloquy. But speaking of soliloquys, my standard is can they make me believe they are Thane-D, doing Willie's lines "to be or not to be"? Richie-B was the original rapper. Finally I understood all the jokes in Hamlet. EC<:-}
