Hate to say it, but Tom Cruise in Rain Man

Hoffman is heavily credited for his work in the movie, walking around saying 'K-mart' and 'drive slow on the driveway' 300 times, but I felt Cruise did the real heavy lifting. Bringing along his usual self, coupled with a building frustration that was fed at every turn made this role easily one of my favorites. The other one I think that edged Tom out slightly in the underrated category is Nick Nolte in Cape Fear. I guess the roles are a bit similar now that I think about it. A frustrated man dealing with a nutcase, and driven to near madness trying to deal with 'em.
