The actress also shared her thoughts about the movie, which she believes is a masterpiece.
“I think that the film is a really well-made film and it’s really hard to make a film like that. Also, thinking about Tom’s work, think of the things that he did for that role. Besides all the stuff on the ground and how wonderful he is in those scenes… But the work that he did to accomplish those flying sequences, it’s something else.”
Connelly talked about Cruise’s love for mind-blowing stunts and intense action choreography. This includes flying in the backseat of an actual F-18, which viewers have seen in theaters. Tom Cruise received a nomination at the Critics Choice Awards but eventually lost to Brendan Fraser.

Aside from performing wild stunts, Tom Cruise loves to take the audience with him. This means making fans feel that they are also flying from a thousand feet or jumping off airplanes. Cast member Jay Ellis told People:
“One of the things that I think we all took from filming with [Tom] is making sure the audience is with you — like, ‘Always remember the audience when you’re making something.’”
Tom Cruise believed that people pay money for entertainment, and as an actor, it is his job to deliver the best performance. Ellis also said that the action star always tells them to make sure that the audience leaves the theater entertained and satisfied.
