Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.39:1 130m
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Cast: Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Val Kilmer
Synopsis:
Capt. Mitchell, aka Maverick, returns to Top Gun to train a group of the best pilots how to successfully take out a rogue nuclear processing plant, and make it back home.
Review:
This belated sequel repacks all the elements that made the first film a hit - Cruise's flashing smile, gung-ho heroics, an obsession with speed, and pride in the nation's armed forces - while throwing in bits of 633 Squadron and Missing in Action. It does, however, sustain such a charm offensive on the viewer that one does not know whether to tear up or throw up at times. Cruise is incredible, swaggering around like John Wayne in El Dorado without having to be an old man, but the editor should have trimmed at least twenty minutes.
