Tom Cruise Action Flop Dominates Streaming


When you think about the cinematic impact of Tom Cruise, the anticipation for his next big screen adventure is palpable. With a resume stacked with adrenaline-pumping franchises like Mission: Impossible and Top Gun, and action behemoths such as Edge of Tomorrow and Jack Reacher, it is almost rare to find a Cruise project that disappoints the audience.

Despite this impressive string of box-office successes, even the most celebrated stars experience dips in their stride. And occasionally, a major film venture doesn’t quite land as expected. This is the case with one of Cruise’s major cinematic efforts, a blockbuster that took a detour before finally finding a fresh opportunity.

That much is true: the star has had one notable misfire, but history is not written in stone. This big-budget film has recently been given a fantastic second chance, finding new life and a fresh audience on Prime Video.

If you were wondering what that blockbuster was, the answer is, of course, The Mummy. And the news that it has found a renewed presence on streaming services is both frightening and utterly amazing.
