Rogue Nation finds superspy Ethan Hunt (Cruise) fighting a cabal of spooks who have gone underground in order to foment chaos around the world. And in the course of "resurrecting" Cruise’s career, McQuarrie has established himself as one of the most impressive makers of action-thrillers working today. McQuarrie has been in Cruise’s orbit for some time now, also penning the scripts for Valkyrie (2008) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014). It would be 12 years before he’d direct again, returning to the chair for Jack Reacher. In 2000, he directed his first feature, The Way of the Gun, which he also scripted. McQuarrie won an Oscar in 1996 for his Usual Suspects script, only his second produced screenplay. Tommy’s back, baby-an impressive feat, given that he never really went away.* More interesting to me is the continued emergence of Christopher McQuarrie as the Cruise Muse. We looked back at " Cruise’s Oscar Years" as part of Grantland’s " Tom Cruise Week," which featured a NCAA-style bracket to determine which Cruise character completes us.
Essays and interviews focused on " The Rehabilitation of Tom Cruise," while (accurate) proclamations that he’s " The Greatest Movie Star of All Time" were made.
The debut of Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation the weekend before last prompted any number of think pieces on Tom Cruise.
