Review of Top Gun (1986) by Dylan D — 09 Sep 2013
Top Gun remains one of the most entertaining pictures of the 1980s, a decade hallmark, a film that defines an era of machismo cinema. It holds up remarkably well, particularly from a technical perspective.
It's more than a sturdy, well-made movie; it's nearly faultlessly crafted. Every shot is an experience, each scene structurally coherent, and every sequence either dramatically or exhilaratingly satisfying.
It's as much a lightly humorous character film as it is a serious drama, as much an testosterone-fueled Action extravaganza wonder as it is a satisfying, though straightforward, romance. Every character is memorable, each scene quotable, and the entire movie infinitely re-watchable.
