Chanley G @SherpaNetworks Jul 24, 2026 Sherpa Review: Flight of the Intruder Flight of the Intruder is an uneven but surprisingly effective military drama. Brad Johnson somehow delivers some of the best and worst acting found in the same film. At times, his performance feels stiff and unconvincing, yet there are just enough flashes of genuine emotion and intensity to keep the story grounded and mask the weaker moments. The film ultimately hits its mark through its aerial combat sequences, strong military atmosphere, and several memorable scenes. Danny Glover and Willem Dafoe bring added credibility and depth, helping elevate the material whenever the dialogue or performances begin to falter. It may not be a great film, but it remains entertaining, sincere, and memorable enough to revisit. ★★★☆☆ Reach new heights with Sherpa ~Sherpa Networks See more Ola G @Ollie1972 Jul 18, 2026 Macho man John Milius "Flight of the Intruder" is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen Coonts, based on his experience as an A-6 Intruder pilot during the Vietnam War. The film earned mostly negative reviews upon its release, with many reviewers noting inconsistencies in plot and continuity errors in the final edit, as well as the low-budget special effects (Wikipedia). It´s a flag waving patriotic right wing mess depicting US as a revenge stricken armed force that just want to go "bombs away" as a solution to everything. Similar to the current situation in 2026... Can't understand how specifically Danny Glover and Willem Dafoe said yes to this project. No need to see. See more Ryan S @RT45739928 Aug 15, 2025 Can’t believe how many people disliked this movie. It was a favorite growing up and probably the entire reason I joined the navy. It has more realism than Top Gun and that was rated higher. Guess military realism means nothing in Hollywood.

Wasted potential is the best description of this film. See more Read all reviews
