| A man's got to know his limitations  |
I don't know if this has been discussed if so I missed it. The latest in the series has just came out on disc and it's a hell of good action movie. A lot of action, and outstanding practical effects stunts. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley | ||

The first two movies were so-so but the rest have been very enjoyable and I love the reoccurring characters. Glad to hear this one measures up too.  | |||

I thought it was great. I’m glad that Ving Rhames had a larger role.

I read that Tom Cruise (already a fixed wing pilot) learned to fly helicopters and did all his own flying. | |||

Semper Fi - 1775 |
That is true, there is a cool YouTube video on it...I'll try to post and find. Cruise might be a nutjob, but I respect his ability and willingness to take his job so seriously. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Wife and I actually saw it in the theater (we rarely go). It was solid....and a bit trippy to watch Tom Cruise the actor and excellent helo pilot "act" like he didn't know how to fly!  “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

Knowing something about Helos, the G's they were pulling in those birds were scary. Hueys and Jet Rangers would have never taken those loads. | |||

I'm surprised he was tall enough for the ride...  | |||

I thought that it was pretty good. Had a few minor twists and kept us entertained. Definitely worth the rental. Save the whales. Redeem them for valuable prizes... | |||

It seems like they have a good formula going for the franchise. I love Ving Rhames' character and Simon Pegg's role as well. | |||
