It's Woo time!
Never mind the ambiguity, this time a Major decides to get his with the threat of nuclear weapons, purely because it's all about his ego. Up against him is a Captain and a Park Ranger. And paying the price is... several helicopters.
Seriously, this movie hates helicopters. Over the course of the movie, it destroys four of them at one point or another, taking out both good guys and bad guys.
And this is definitely a guy fest. We have Travolta vs Slater and it's great how they spark off each other. Travolta is starting his Evil phase and is loving every minute of it, whereas Slater is the pure one. We do get Samantha Mathis, who was Slater's actual romantic partner at one time. And speaking of romance, we don't even get a kiss between the boy and girl, just a hug! (Although flirtatious promise of more.)
And we get Zimmer on the score, with the lovely twangy acoustic guitar sound, backing the theme of the struggle between Travolta and Slater. Okay, may it isn't better than The Rock's score, but I like this movie better, so I am ranking it higher.
Just a great set of movies with great music.
