American Made Ratings & Reviews
- Tristan Thede6 April 2026Good movie.
- Cubane1 day agoThe CIA has never done anything to fund the cartels or international terrorism, except for that one time and the one other time. Probably a good idea to cast Barry as a fit guy, the real version was nicknamed "El Gordo" for good reason. I also liked the succinct economic motivations the movie was able to use to make sense of the entire complex political environment of central America in the late 20th century. Also gets points for the AMC Gremlin.
