Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The titular operation often yanks the film from big-screen sensation to a pedantic look at military procedures best suited to a TV documentary.
An interesting overview of the unique-in-its-scope training exercise.
Factor in the thunderous digital surround sound, and the only thing missing is the smell of jet fuel.
The film is less sure-footed when on the ground, but the stunning aerobatics will blow you away, while the close-ups enhance the sense of intimacy and urgency.
