Tom Cruise isn't versatile enough to play such a dynamic character. Plus, he's too short to take seriously.
Jennifer Jason Leigh did well but I think Theresa Russell or Holly Hunter would have been a better fit. Jason Patric was outstanding. I don't think anyone else could have done any better.

Tom Cruise was worried too much about his brand back then to play a gritty part like this.
Jennifer Jason Leigh did well but I think Theresa Russell or Holly Hunter would have been a better fit.
Jennifer brings a certain naivety that Holly and Theresa do not have to be honest. Remember the character starts out as a rookie and then becomes corrupted. Jennifer can do both whereas the other actresses I haven't seen do that in any of their resume.
Jason Patric was outstanding. I don't think anyone else could have done any better.
He's so

Brought him 3 (soon 4) hot wives, s-tone of money, long career despite the fact it should have ended back in the 90's and cyborg-like never-aging good looks.
Not bad of a package to get in exchange for one soul.
but i havent seen it and i'm not interested in seeing it. sorry.
