The classic of entertainment cinema, at one time even the top of entertainment cinema.
Young Tom Cruise plays a military pilot, one of the best pilots in his country. He is being transferred to the best flight school called Top Gun. He will have to fight for the title of best pilot, find his love and whitewash the name of his father, also a pilot in the past.
In flight school, he will face the enemy for the title (Val Kilmer), their confrontation is one of the main storylines. The romantic line between Cruise and the psychologist at school is also very sensitively spelled out. But the main line passes - the courageous building of their own life platform. He has to change, change stereotypes, achieve a lot.
Young then director Tony Scott brought together several young but very talented actors in the film. Cruise after this role the next day woke up as a star. Not always the pretty face of the actor is the key to success, you need to have a remarkable talent in order to also appeal to critics. And so it happened. After the "Best Gunslinger," Cruise's career skyrocketed like his plane in this film.
The picture also has a pleasant musical accompaniment. This music is finely tuned for perception by the audience of those years when the film was shot, which makes "The Best Shooter" even more relevant and, most importantly, watchable even in our years, when the cinema is saturated with computer technology.
There are few words that can be picked up for the negative aspects of the film, because there are practically none, but you should not crumble in praise.
The film is for many, many years (after all, not without reason the classic of the "Hot Heads" parodies took the "Best Shooter" for the first film).
