About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a crowd-pleasing, high-adrenaline blockbuster with nonstop training-and-mission momentum and big emotions, like Mission: Impossible - Fallout; Not for you if you need a complex plot or subtle, low-key drama.
Pros: exhilarating flight sequences; strong nostalgia factor; big-screen thrills | Cons: basic predictable story; thin supporting characters; romance feels tacked-on
