"It has a great humor and it also has a level of unique brutality that this character brings," Cruise said at the film's premiere on Sunday in New Orleans, where it was filmed. "It is part of who he is."
he movie was directed by Edward Zwick, who worked with Cruise on the 2003 film "The Last Samurai".
