Tom Cruise<\/a>\u00a0is in on the joke. The actor\u2019s\u00a0Twitter bio<\/a>\u00a0notes that he\u2019s been \u201crunning in movies since 1981,\u201d and indeed it\u2019s what he\u2019s best known for doing onscreen. To mark the release of \u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 Fallout,\u201d the folks at\u00a0Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>\u00a0have put together a study suggesting that, the more Cruise runs in his movies, the better they are.<\/p>\n

They did so using what sounds like painstaking methodology, counting \u201cevery instance of Cruise\u2019s running on screen, in seconds, and then calculated the distances ran by assuming he is clocking a six-minute mile (14.6 feet per second).\u201d<\/p>\n

The average Tomatometer of movies in which Cruise doesn\u2019t run at all \u2014 and there are only four, namely \u201cMagnolia,\u201d \u201cLions for Lambs,\u201d \u201cTropic Thunder,\u201d and \u201cValkyrie\u201d \u2014 is a respectable 63.5%.\u00a0Those in which he runs anywhere from one to 500 feet (of which there are 20, including everything from \u201cRisky Business\u201d to \u201cInterview With the Vampire\u201d) are a little bit lower, at 61.05%; clocking in ever-so-slightly higher are the eight films in which he covers between 501 and 1,000 feet, which average out to 61.625%.<\/p>\n

Then comes the good stuff. The nine films that find their star going \u201cFull Tom\u201d (1,001+ feet) jump up to 71%, which is to say that three \u201cM:I\u201d movies, \u201cMinority Report,\u201d and \u201cThe Firm\u201d rank among Cruise\u2019s best-reviewed efforts.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, the study also found that the 56-year-old Oscar nominee has been running more as he\u2019s gotten older.\u00a0Here<\/a>\u00a0are the full results of RT\u2019s findings, and here are the 10 movies in which Cruise runs the most<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cMission: Impossible III\u201d \u2014 3,212 feet<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cMission: Impossible \u2014 Ghost Protocol\u201d \u2014 3,066 feet<\/li>\n
  3. \u201cWar of the Worlds\u201d \u2014 1,752 feet<\/li>\n
  4. \u201cMinority Report\u201d \u2014 1,562 feet<\/li>\n
  5. \u201cThe Firm\u201d \u2014 1,241 feet<\/li>\n
  6. \u201cEdge of Tomorrow\u201d \u2014 1,065 feet<\/li>\n
  7. \u201cJack Reacher: Never Go Back\u201d \u2014 1,051 feet<\/li>\n
  8. \u201cThe Mummy\u201d \u2014 1,022 feet<\/li>\n
  9. \u201cMission Impossible \u2013 Rogue Nation\u201d \u2014 1,007 feet<\/li>\n
  10. \u201cVanilla Sky\u201d \u2014 832 feet<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
