Review of Days of Thunder (1990) by Gina G — 18 Jun 2012
Top Gun On Wheels Starring Tom Cruise. Reportedly all that was required to be said to get this film greenlit. You know, it still gets three stars. It's not exactly a brilliant piece of cinema, the dialogue is hammy, its typically clichéd and there is a montage within the first 10 minutes of the film.
But three stars earned because of Robert Duvall....and the fact that this is truly Tom Cruise in his youthful prime. Plus you get the added benefit of Nicole Kidman (not her finest acting performance) when she was at her most naturally attractive.
Everything you'd expect from Tony Scott and company, you even get John C. Reilly giving some pre-emptive insight into his Talladega Nights character. It's truly not the worst film you could watch, even Randy Quaid is a lovable presence.
