And this is definitely Cruise as you’ve never seen him before. In the outrageous comedy, he sports a thick Southern accent (think Ross Perot, but more excitable), a beer belly and thinning white hair that’s been manipulated into an unconvincing combover. He’s an oil baron whose company may have set off an ecological disaster that could also spark a nuclear war. John Goodman is an ailing U.S. president who implores Cruise to fix the mess he’s unleashed.
