Top Gun clone? Absolutely not, this is considerably better than that monumentally overrated snorefest.
Telling a rather generic story set during the Vietnam war this feature stars Willem Dafoe, Rosanna Arquette, Tom Sizemore, Ving Rhames and Danny Glover so it's roster is pretty outstanding.
Now I'm rather bias when it comes to war themed movies, namely because I'm a great big anti-war guy so I tend not to see the appeal. That's not to say I'm anti-war movie, I just tend not to find them enjoyable.
Flight of the Intruder suffers from the standard genre tropes, is cheesy, macho-nonsense but does have a charm to an extent. The ending is strong which certainly makes up for everything else but it can only go so far.
With that amazing cast and very impressive flight visuals you can't take away from the film just how much they've accomplished here, it's just not my bag.
The Good:
Very impressive visuals
Wealth of talent present
The Bad:
Oddly structured
Love interest was needlessly tacked on
