Ryan S @RT45739928 Aug 15 Can’t believe how many people disliked this movie. It was a favorite growing up and probably the entire reason I joined the navy. It has more realism than Top Gun and that was rated higher. Guess military realism means nothing in Hollywood. See more alan g @agenser Jun 28 A highly underrated movie. Good acting, cheesy plot but accurate for the vietnam era. Great action sequences.

Wasted potential is the best description of this film. See more 12/14/2024 Loved it! I recently listened to a podcast interview with a Vietnam veteran A6 bombardier. The interview was very moving. He mentioned that this movie was a mostly-accurate depiction of combat in the A6, so I was interested to see it despite poor reviews. Against that context, the film and story were fantastic. There were some storyline and dialog elements that I thought were very clever and endearing that may have escaped the attention of viewers primarily interested in the action aspect. Without the context, I would say it’s an ok movie for a slow night at home, but considering its purported accuracy, I found it very moving and engaging. I would say it’s definitely worth the time for anyone interested in military aviation history, especially that of the generally overlooked ground-attack role, and especially in the Vietnam war. As a bonus, you get to see baby-faced Willem Dafoe, Danny Glover, Rosanna Arquette, even Ving Rhames early-career!

This film comes closer then other movies about Vietnam and how it affected the people involved. I give it 5 stars because this movie highlights U.S. Naval Aviation and honors the sacrifice made by aviators in a realistic way. See more Read all reviews
