CommentsXp Best movie ever!
bentzt It's a good movie. it's a pretty good movie. It's a very good Vietnam movie, good acting, good technique, good good good and good, some little flaw but nothing to serious. It's good, really worth watching, I'd like to watch this movie again after 2 times. Top Gun is nothing compare to this for me, in fact Top Gun is stupid love movie. So little love story in this movie, only men in action. How could this movie just get 5.3 rating on IMDb, maybe too many Bollywood lover gave the rate. Brad Jhonson should played by another actor I think, don't really like him but he gave his best in this movie. What else to say it's a very good movie!
thinker1691 The War in Viet-Nam was a mess. For America it lasted better than ten years and left the bodies of over 58,000 plus dead scattered over the backwaters of the country and spilled over onto the shores of the U.S. Yes the war did in fact fracture this country and in many ways, left it wounded beyond repair. This movie called " The Flight of the Intruder " brings to light the skills, courage, and integrity of the Navy pilot. The story, one of many from that era, relates the decision of pilot Lt. Jake Grafton (Brad Johnson) and his bombardier Lt. Cmdr. Virgil Cole (Willem Dafoe) who implement a scheme to take the war to the enemy. By defying their main authority, they fly their single Intruder into North Viet-Nam and drop their bombs not on the dark jungles of that country but in the stock-pile area known as ' Sam City. " Upon their return, they are arrested and brought before the Naval Board of Inquiry. Their commanding Officer, Cmdr. Frank Camparelli (Danny Glover) warned both men not to get too involved with personal losses, now they both stand a good chance of going to prison. The film is an excellent tribute to the officers and men of the US Navy and with all the action and combat drama seen in the movie, there is little doubt this movie will become a war time Classic. ****
merklekranz Recommended viewing, especially for those who have not read the book. The flying scenes are great, with ferocious sound to match. While parts of the story will seem quite familiar, the raid on Hanoi is an unusual focal point of the film, and terrific. Danny Glover and Willem Dafoe have the best developed characters, but overall the acting is fine. The motivation of the different characters is quite interesting and adds to the excitement. Dialog varies from profound to hokey. The film is is recommended as one of the better Vietnam War movies. There is plenty of action, and "Flight of the Intruder" certainly exceeds expectations as entertainment. - MERK
Twelvefield "Flight Of The Intruder" at this writing is no longer available on DVD. I ended up watching it on TV. Unlike, say, "Hunt For Red October", "Flight Of The Intruder" is not aging well. Blurry special effects, clunky dialogue and pacing, deviation from the source material, and strange casting choices make this film a curiosity and something of an eyesore in places.Some of the aircraft carrier scenes are authentic, though, and should appeal to anyone who has spent time on a carrier at sea."Flight Of The Intruder" as a book is getting a new 25th Anniversary re-printing. The book stands on its own today much better than the film. Although written in simple language, the book is powerful, personal, and classic."Flight Of The Intruder" as a movie seems under-rated by most viewers, but not by as much as you'd think. It's still very much a mediocre effort.
