I like him in Mission Impossible okay, but it's when he tries to play the everyman character that I somehow lose interest. Again, he is a good actor, but most of his choices of late outside his franchises have been losers for me.
I don't think anyone can deny the guy has been in some amazing movies. Pretty much everything before Mission Impossible 1 was classic stuff that has deeply affected pop culture.
