Days of Thunder (1990)
Directed by Tony Scott
this Jerry Bruckheimer production stars Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall and
Nicole Kidman. A maverick young race car driver gets his shot at
NASCAR but has to file down his rough edges to become a winner.
Days of Thunder is one
of the greatest film titles of all time in my opinion, unfortunately
the rest of the film does not really come close to living up to that
level. The plot for the film is essentially lifted from Top Gun
(1986) with every cliché in the book and when you see Tom Cruise
with a story credit during the opening titles that is the most
ominous piece of foreshadowing in the whole film. When it comes to
the actual racing in the film not much of it actually makes sense
despite the film being fairly well made even if there is some suspect
dialogue along the way.
2/5
