No surprise here:
It could work; Cruise was amusing in "Thunder," but whether the character can be extended over a feature will require at least 14 writers and many boxes of Character Helper. (The recent "A-Team" movie went through 11 writers, each of whom apparently contributed one word.) If it's a hit, all the Hollywood producers will insist it was based on them, and walk around swearing a lot, and fly to Mexico for hairy-hand transplants. They're illegal here, no matter who you know.
