I can't believe Cruise at the age of 46 is doing this stunt. If it really is him,my Cubs hat is off to him!

In my opinion the shots with him close to the building and running side to side were likely him
but the guy jumping out of the building and running north to south aren't him in my opinion.
You never see a direct or close shot and the guy appears to be a bit bulkier.

If you are running sideways on the tallest building on the outside of the tallest building in the world, that is good enough for me.

Too bad he's a huge pussy in the rest of his life.

Yeah, he has been known to get his hands dirty with some of the "safer" stunts. I didn't say it
wasn't impressive, he just doesn't appear the guy doing the really dangerous stuff, which makes
sense.

It's supposedly all him in all the stunts on the building.

The 49-year-old actor climbed up -- and also ran down -- the mirrored glass exterior of the Burj Khalifa, the 181-story, 2,723-foot-tall skyscraper in Dubai that holds the record for the highest structure ever built.

So what percentage of the footage of Cruise hanging outside of the Burj Khalifa is actually him? According to producer Bryan Burk ("Star Trek," "Super 8"), every frame you see in the movie is really Tom Cruise. At a recent preview of scenes from the film, Burk said that Cruise did have a stunt double on set, but his job was only to test out the safety rigging. When the cameras were rolling, it was all Cruise. Which was good, because Burk said the stunt double was actually afraid of heights, and Cruise obviously had no problems with it.

I call bullshit. DIrector is just padding Cruise's stats.

Most of them looked like Cruise to me. The one where he is walking on the building is too far away to tell. That being said, he has balls to go out and hang from teh window. Even w/ the greatest safety equipment there are risks. He could have been a divo and demand they CGI him on the stunts.

Cruise's movies usually hit the mark with me. He'll be the same guy in every film but i'll have an enjoyable 90mins of entertainment.
