One of them is definitely more famous now for acting than for music, while the other could be argued either way (but I'd lean toward acting).

Summary: Cocktail no doubt holds a certain amount of appeal for fans of Tom Cruise, and while the film is certainly far from his best work, it does have a few enjoyable moments.
Cocktail is fluff, though it does manage to be mostly entertaining for several reasons: the music, the bar tricks, and Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise thinks he's so fucking good.
And then Elisabeth Shue comes along and it gets all soppy and stupid.
But Tom doesn't like to share and goes a little postal, fleeing to Jamaica.

Chicago Sun-Times
The first part of the movie works the best.
The movie's most interesting character is the older bartender, superbly played by Brown, who never has a false moment.
And that's another area this movie knows little about: the actual effects of drinking.
