To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from the damned thing but since I always had a weak spot for Robert Redford, I was quite eager to check it out. Basically, way before ‘Top Gun’, they actually made this vintage flick about the aviation. Well, even though this movie was never as famous as the classic action flick starring Tom Cruise, in fact, I thought it was actually much better. Indeed, first of all, I really liked the way they gave us a good look at the USA during the 20's. Obviously, Robert Redford was, as usual, very charming and the guy gave another solid performance. In fact, I believe that most actors would have been rather ridiculous in this role. Concerning the story, I have to admit that it was nothing really original but I thought it was entertaining enough. What I really enjoyed is that they managed to show how those guys were daring and courageous but also at the same time rather ridiculous and childhish. To conclude, even though I don’t think it was anything really amazing, I thought it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre of if you are interested in Robert Redford’s work.
