Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times "R2B" wanders into the weeds, with inordinate amounts of time given to one character's domestic life and another's emerging romance. Rated: 2/5 Aug 23, 2012 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Under Kim Dong-won's ebullient direction, the movie, for all its genre derivativeness and predictability, is pretty swell entertainment.

Audience Member i want to see this movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member how can i see the movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is Korea's take on 'Topgun', half of it filled with pop love story. Gotta love the several minutes of dog fights. LOL. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review born k Not so bad as I expected: South Korean movie about pilots, with heavy inspiration from Top Gun. Actings are ok, sometimes inclined to a funny side, plot a little simple, but the aerial action scenes are nice. 6,0 / 10,0 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member AKA Black Eagle, Soar Into the Sun, Windfighters, is a remake of a Korean movie from the 60's. Not having seen that, it reminds me a lot of Top Gun. Rain (Korea's Justin Timberlake) takes the role of Tom Cruise, a daredevil pilot that flies too close to things and gets people to spill coffee. The planes are more advanced, Rain flies an F-15 Eagle instead of an F-14 Tomcat (which foreshadowed TomKat). The enemies are real MiG-29s, instead of fictional MiG-28s. Cool shots of a battle over Seoul, too long and dramatic. Intense dogfights and some beautiful slow-mo make for some exhilarating action scenes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Finally got to see this "Korean Top Gun" film starring Rain. The movie starts out slow then picks up towards the end. The movie actually has similarities to several movies and TV shows all mixed into one including Top Gun, Behind Enemy Lines, The Rock, and the animation Robotech. So if you are a fan of the above then this one would be worth watching. I give this movie 4 stars for overall entertainment value but ding it 1 star for originality. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
