      Audience Member Dark, 90's, a rogue "Top Gun" style military movie with a horror movie style plot. Intriguing, and somewhat unique. Definitely worth a watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly competent, dark and moving TV movie about a deranged fighter-pilot who becomes a threat to everyone around him. The subtly disturbing atmosphere, a competent usage of fighter jet stock-footage, good story and performances turn this into a very watchable film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
