Pretty decent movie. GREAT movie with the perspective of today, because the bar is so low.

It had the typical movie tropes of last minutes saves, manufactured drama, lower ranking guy showing up the higher ranking guy etc.... very predictable.

However it wasn't anti American, it was pro military by NOT being anti military and the roles were cast pretty good.

It had a normal amount of diversity without being stupid and all the brown people smart/good/commanders and white people stupid/wrong/subordinate.

The woman pilot was just another pilot, not the best, not a chip on her shoulder, not a Mary Sue.


It had ZERO gay ****.

Sad that just those things made a movie that is a solid 5 an 8 in today's world. But that is where we are in movie culture in America today.

I enjoyed it. And you are right. It was kind of predictable. But definitely had a patriotic feel to it.

soon enough the lgbqt outfit that is producing the "book of queer" will come along and claim the woman pilot is actually a man and tom cruise was his/her partner
