Movie Reviews of Flight of the Intruder
Movie Review: Did not read the book but the DVD is worth a look
Summary: 3 Stars
I have never read the novel but the film is overall a fine tribute to the A-6 pilots who flew those dangerous missions over Vietnam in the early 1970s. It's worth it to buy or rent the DVD simply because you can skip to the excellent flying sequences. There-by avoiding the less interesting filler. Overall see it for the planes and the action.Movie Review: Good war movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I like this movie and I love Danny Glover.
Lots of action
Movie Review: AVERAGE DRONE WITH DISCONNECTED WAR CLICHES
Summary: 2 Stars
Nearly everything about this Top Gun clone formula-flick seems to be borrowed, right down to the pilots' nicknames and its routine war themes of camaraderie, grace under pressure, a nervy disregard for any authority beyond your own conscience, etc etc. Whatever sparse moments of watchability the film produces come mostly from Will Dafoe, one of the many cowboy American soldiers armed with explosives. Passable.Movie Review: Not the first pick for movie night
Summary: 2 Stars
Great book. Not so great movie and the small screen does not anything to this one either. With so many good and great war movies to choose from, this one can be saved for much later.Movie Review: Great Book - Bad Movie - Good Actors
Summary: 1 Stars
My view is skewed. I was in VA-196 and flew with Steve Çoonts a few times as a B/N. His book captured our collective squadron stories and placed the A6A Intruder into the public eye. People would tell me about their experiences while reading the book...they did not know my connection to it. Steve wrote so well that they could smell the cockpit and sense the adrenalin. While the movie paralleled our actual experiences at sea and in port, it did not convey the excitement of the book. So, I was disappointed in my expectations and give the film a good try.
