Editorial Review:

Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Libyan jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 is made more palatable by the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom Keogh

• Best film EVER!
  This is the brilliant film about being the best pilots, silly nicknames, and cheesy one liners! ( I feel the need, the need, for speed!) Brillant 'dog fighting' action scenes, and a great soundtrack, Not to be missed!

• Aerial Antics With Cheese
  Recently released on Region A Blu-Ray, I watched this film again for the first time in several years.

• Dreadful Film
  This has to be one of the worst films of all-time. "Starring" one of the most over-rated actors in the history of film, Tom Cruise, the film is just another "pro-American-aren't we great" piece of drivel.
  There are no good points to this truly awful offering, its one of those films that ought never to have escaped the cutting room floor, a truly dreadful film. I only gave it one star because the site will not accept zero.

• Homosexual lovestory
  This hilarious movie is based on the premise that a jingoistic Aviation Army flick does not require add-on extras like a plot, character development or good dialogue.
  Well toned, well oiled tanned handsome men wander around the set in underwear (snapping each other with towels) high-fiving each other with puffed out chests.
  Names like Goose, Slider, Maverick (our all American Hero), Viper,Jester, Rio and lets not forget Iceman, sum up this classic movie perfectly. The "plot" (using the term... more info
