I walked into this movie not knowing what to expect. I could either get a movie like "Saving Private Ryan", with lots of Action and suspense. Or I could get a movie like "A Thin Red Line", a long movie with lots of dry spots. Well This Movie is definitely in the league of Saving Private Ryan. There was very little dry spots and lots of action and suspense.
Owen Wilson plays a Navy pilot who wants to get out of the navy and is just counting his days before he gets out. Owen gets in trouble for doing an amusing stunt a couple of days before Christmas and gets stuck running a Photo Recon mission on Christmas day as his punishment. During his mission his plane goes off course and they accidently see something they weren't suppose to do, and they pay for it by getting shot down. Now he is stuck in the middle of nowhere getting chased by the bad guy. I don't want to ruin the movie for you but there are some exciting parts that will keep you on the edge of your seats. The movie is disappointing at times, but it makes it up in the end.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is in the mood for an action packed Pro American Suspense thriller. In these times when Americans are coming together, this movie helps you get just that much closer. Go see it, you won't be disappointed. |
