Tom Cruise Rewind

Days of Thunder ushered in a new decade for Tom Cruise. As his first film of the 90s, it marks both a fumbled transition from his reputation in the 80s to the more dignified image he crafted of himself in the 90s and a more dramatic transition in his personal life as his marriage to Mimi Rogers ended and his marriage to Nicole Kidman began. For better or for worse, it's the latter reason that makes this film more interesting than anything else. On its own, there's hardly anything memorable.
