Meanwhile the embattled soldier's Admiral (Gene Hackman) risks his career to carry out a rescue mission delayed by international politics.

Ratings and reviews

From the intense looks of Owen Wilson to Hackman's frustration, the acting is top notch. Wilson plays the REAL emotions of an airman behind the lines - this isn't a Cruise ego boost Top Gun Navy pilot, this is the blood & guts men who protect us everyday. The emotional roller coaster - edge of your seat scenes keep you completely focused on Wilson's situation. Aerial work is great. The sets, extras & SPFX are among the best particularly because there is very little CGI, making a big difference. Nuff Said!

Although a little hammed up, It's still a good film.

One of the best movies ever
