Into the Sun

About This Movie

Into the Sun is one of those action-war flicks that captures the chaotic life of a pilot in the Middle East, but it's got this quirky twist. You've got Paul Watkins, an American pilot, whose world shifts when he has to train an actor, Tom Slade, for an Air Force movie. The film's pacing is a bit uneven, swinging from intense aerial dogfights to the more mundane aspects of military life. Practical effects are used here, which is always a treat in films of this era. There's a certain camaraderie amongst the pilots, and while the performances aren’t groundbreaking, they bring a grounded feel to the whole experience. It's interesting to see how Hollywood interacts with military life, even if it doesn’t dive too deep into the complexities.
