Review:
Gibson and Downey give
an admirably humorous portrayal in this film, but it's kind of shallow,
but it does shine a light on the existence of Air America, and the men
who ran it, and flew the planes. An action comedy, this one fills the
bill fine enough, but it's a bit of a stretch and i think the most
memorable part of it is when Gibson ties Downey to his helicopter for a
flight over town. Not for kids because of the language and violence, it
is good for a little bit of entertainment, but not particularly
fantastic.
