Tom Cruise Is Immune To The Criticism

Tom Cruise has been in this business long enough. He knows that no matter what he says or does, show business will always find some way to try and tear him down. Speaking of his lengthy acting career, Tom says,

"I've heard so many things, going back to 'Top Gun' and 'Rain Man' and 'Born on the Fourth of July' - 'He's not going to make another movie', 'He's just a teen idol', 'It's going to destroy his career'. People are going to say whatever they're going to say. I've read it and seen it all before. That's just the way it is. What are you going to do?
"All I can think about is making the movie at hand and doing the best I can and enjoying it."

That's a great attitude, though I'm ignoring the critics is easier said than done.
Tom also mentions that Knight and Day was a particularly challenging movie to work on.

"It requires a tremendous amount of skill. You have comedy, drama and action and it's very dynamic so it's actually four times the workload. Action movies are difficult and this has everything I love in movies. We did everything we could to make it non-stop, unpredictable fun."

I wonder if critics will end up praising Tom for Knight and Day. What do you think, will his acting chops show through in this one?  (imnotobsessed)
