Not a big fan of Tom Cruise the person, but his movies are damn entertaining, especially if you like dog fights in supersonic airplanes. Been a fan ever since seeing him in All the Right Moves about a star h.s. defensive back shot in Johnstown Pa. Craig T. Nelson was the closest thing to my h.s. coach, Frank Reich who was a scary sob. I ran into him(Frank) before he passed at my uncle's funeral and he actually remembered me and was a nice guy. We talked about Frank Jr. who was still playing for Carolina.
As to Cruise, he's made a lot of great action movies, sci-fi, spies, lawyers, damaged war vets, hit men, pool sharks, sports agents, bartenders, samarai, and a vampire for crying out loud. About the only genres he seems to have missed are westerns and musicals.
