This film got a lot of hate and I'm not sure why. Maybe because it has the same formula as Top Gun, but both were done so well. Does that make Days Of Thunder bad? NO. Hell, all the Star Wars movies used the same formula! Days Of Thunder didn't try to pretend. The action was on the race track and the story progressed with a good tempo from beginning to end. I won't go into the details as this film should be seen like any other movie... without knowing what you're getting into. Sit back and enjoy every non-CGI moment and and entertaining characters, I'm sure some won't be disappointed.

Decades ago, this was dumb fun, but in all actuality, it's really just clichéd crap. The script is just awful.

This is fourth movie in the "arrogant Cruise" quadrilogy. Pair this with Top Gun, Cocktail and the Color of Money. Young guy that shows promise but hasn't learned everything yet is brought under the tutelage of an older man that guides him to learn how to make peace with his rivals and succeed at a higher level. This film is not operating at the level of Top Gun or Color of Money, but Duvall is fantastic in it. Great characters but ultimately I felt the "climax" in the second half of the movie couldn't live up to the first half of the film. Shame really, because the first half of the movie is awesome.

It is Top Gun on wheels isn't it? Only Maverick came across as more blue collar wild and Trickle is a little more California pretentious wild.

So it's kind of Top Gun only with Cary Elwes playing Val Kilmer.

It's kind of Top Gun only Robert Duvall plays Cobra.

It's kind of Top Gun but Nicol More

I'm not much a fan of any kind of racing but found this to be a relatively entertaining sports-thriller which does feature some good NASCAR racing sequences and a nice cast, though can't really say anybody stood out, even Cruise. **3.25/5**
