Thomas Gandow, a spokesperson for the German Protestant Church, said Cruise's involvement in the film would "have the same propaganda advantages for Scientology as the 1936 Olympics had for the Nazis" and compared the actor to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
Thomas Gandow, glasnogovornik Evangeličke crkve u Njemačkoj, rekao je kako će Cruiseova uključenost u film "imati neke propagandne prednosti za scijentologiju kao što je to bio slučaj s Olimpijadom 1936. za naciste" te usporedio glumca s nacističkim ministrom propagande Josephom Goebbelsom.
