Review of Air America (1990) by Grant K — 17 May 2013
When the job you do doesn't officially exist, lines begin to blur a little.
When you do it long enough... what rules are left?
When you know something's wrong, is it your job to care and fix it - and risk some long-earned personal gain which you've convinced yourself you totally deserve...? After all, it's your retirement plan.
This is a movie with a carefree air and morale whipping somewhere in the jet stream. Until it comes back around to smack you in the face.
Gibson and Downey Jr. work pretty well together, their characters getting along from the start, slightly pushing and pulling at each other but not enough to create true conflict (before morale compasses clash, and even then the sharpest drama is avoided).
All in all the movie has just the right amount of action, scheming, humor and light-hearted fun, without a whole lot of heavy content.
