Folks, this movie just oozes with horrendously overused movie cliches.
1) The bad guys aim and shoot, but they can't seem to hit the hero, who can hit the bad guys without even trying.
2) The old "outrun the explosion and hurl yourself bodily to the ground JUST at the outer edge and emerge unscathed except for a few smudges" trick.
3) The grizzled war veteran bucks safety rules designed to save lives, using expensive equipment and risking the lives of several soldiers to rescue just one.
4) The young, single, hotshot pilot saves the day.
I'm wondering how our pilot can walk out in the open, stand at the top of high hills in front of God and everybody, and STILL manages to elude the enemy?
I am just so sick of movies that create adrenaline-surging battle scenes that don't make sense, increasing the special effects budget at the expense of a decent storyline.
I don't know about anyone else, but I LIKE movies that engage my brain.
If you truly want to see a good Gene Hackman movie where there's a soldier behind enemy lines, rent "Bat 21".
