"Seven hundred bucks damage, thirty men in the brig and... an alligator injured. And you got away?" Based on an excellent novel by former naval aviator Stephen Coonts, Flight of the Intruder is a mediocre film that features a mixed bag of actors, painfully obvious special effects (just look at the tracer rounds in the attack on Hanoi), and a depressing ending that did not feature in the source novel. Willem Dafoe, Danny Glover, and Brad Johnson give respectable performances, but they can't keep this movie afloat (pun intended). The only reason I consider it "great" is because it's just so awful that it's fairly entertaining (thanks to camp value).
Rating: 40/100
