The first couple of tinted, misted shots aboard an aircraft carrier capture what was most ludicrous about Top Gun. But after the credits the grim business of joke-making goes into slave-driving mode. Best notion for a scene: the heavily foreshadowed death of one flyboy as he strides across the runway toward his final takeoff (a black cat crosses his path, he and his wife have just finalized the purchase of their Dream Home, he's got conclusive new evidence on the Kennedy assassination tucked safely in his pocket, etc., etc.). The execution of it is typically slapdash. Charlie Sheen, Valeria Golino, Lloyd Bridges; directed by Jim Abrahams. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
