Firebirds is 84 minutes of trailblazing fun. Harshly criticized, do other people, misunderstand it's intentions? It's pacey, with great, metaphoric comic dialogue between Cage and Young, an actress, who again didn't impress me. Cage and Jones are better. Never a dull moment here, where yes, I agree it's a bit like Top Gun, because we have another Gung ho narcissistic 'best of the best' Pete Mitchell (Cage) an ace military pilot, trying to rekindle an old relationship, with woman pilot (Young). I really appreciated some öff the base, family scenes with Jones, a character I really wanted to lnow more about. He shows concern for his ace pilot, and like Top Gun's Skeritt, shows admiration, and a smidgen of envy, on the side. And in the main mission, which again takes us back to Top Gun, or Navy Seals, whatever, we'll only know good will prevail. Many exciting action scenes, the frank Firebirds, sets out to do what it's spose to, and wastes no time, beating around the bush, getting you there. Is that a crime? I think not.
