Tom Cruise still retains the same charm as a military aviator who inspired an entire generation more than thirty years ago. The story, having moved on to the son of Goose, while Tom Cruise remains in service with its many nuances of angst, guilt, affection, friendship and professionalism is captured brilliantly by the director. All aviators and their families will identify with the emotions that have been beautifully enacted by the cast. A must watch.
