'Top Gun' An immensely entertaining, coming-of-age picture that casts Tom Cruise as Lt. Pete Mitchell, call sign: Maverick, whose a cracker jack fighter pilot out to be the best of the best. He's thrilled when he gets sent with his partner (the goofy, in a good way, Anthony Edwards) to the best fire weapons school in the country, where he can compete for the 'Top Gun' trophy. Maverick, naturally assuming he will win, (partly) creates tension between him and another pilot (Val Kilmer) and great character interactions result from this, with a nice touch of additional collisions of mixed personalities that take place between the rest of the classmates and the main duo. As Maverick continues his lessons and classes, he woos a civilian instructor (the charming Kelly McGillis) who "teaches him a few things he can't learn in a classroom". A fresh, exciting, and very funny blockbuster hit that's sure to keep you entertained through its complete running time. Highly recommended. Rating: Four out of Five Stars (Excellent).
