Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Directed by Joseph Kosinski this film stars Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Jennifer Connelly. Running out of chances Maverick gets one last job in the navy, to train a group of pilots for a deadly mission.
The original Top Gun was one of the definitive pieces of 80s cheesy propaganda yet I still love it thanks to the careful guiding hand of Tony Scott which is sorely missing here. This is a paint by numbers effort that tries to get by on nostalgia alone. I could just about stomach it till we get to the silly ending which goes beyond even the generous stretching of believability I was willing to give this film.
2/5
