Truly a masterpiece that flew under the radar (no pun intended). My father took me to see it when it first came out and I've been a fan ever since. It was unique as far as Clint Eastwood movies go in the sense that his character didn't have all the answers for most of the film. He was truly a fish out of water until he actually got into the plane. He had to rely on others just to survive and to complete the mission and the fact that most of them sacrificed themselves just to get him into that plane really underscored that fact and was very sobering. It was a different side of Clint Eastwood that we didn't see previously. Thank you for reviewing this great movie that has sadly gone unnoticed over the last 40 years or so, give or take.

Thanks man! Yeah it was definitely a different role than usual for Eastwood. While he was still a tough guy,he was just a pilot with no experience as a spy and was out of his element for most of the film. He was really scared for most of the film but as soon as he got in the pilot seat of the Firefox there was noticeable change and was more confident in what he was doing.Not just one of his most underrated movies,but one of his most underrated performances.

Great review, and you’re absolutely right, it is one of Clint Eastwood’s most underrated movies. Although his greatest role will, of course, always be that of William Munny in Unforgiven.

Iv always liked this one. Definitely an overlooked Eastwood flick and yeah it’s a shame that he didn’t do more Sci-fi projects. I do miss male oriented action films like this. If it was made today,they would have to include “ strong female characters “ ( Although it has to be said the lead scientists wife is shown to be very brave and conveys a lot of emotion with no dialogue).
