I did not want to see this movie, but I got outnumbered & hadn't even seen the first Top Gun. I don't dislike Tom Cruise at all but I'm not a huge fan either.
My sister gave me a 20-30 second, (quickest) "summary" and movie started. I normally like drama, sci fi, Disney, occasional thriller, no horror. Well, this movie literally blew me away. I was on the edge of my seat, can't even go pee, because I don't want to miss anything! AND, it wasn't predictable. 5 stars. Well worth it, even for all the wives & girlfriends out there not so keen on the idea. ;)
