A friend is indulging in a TC rewatch, and I pushed him to revisit A Few Good Men. "When Cruise is walking around, fully twitched out, saying, 'Where's my bat? I think better with my bat!', think of me," I told him. But really, it's the full incredulity of, "You put it in the closet?" that gets me every time.
The way TC eats ribs in The Firm (1993) is the one of the most unnatural moments of acting I’ve ever seen. But it totally tracks with his ability to take something mundane and make it cinematic.

Nailed it
