Have to say - nothing against this guy at all, so no grudge to bear but the film in general was quite implausible from the start and simply got worse.
The helo shots went from ridiculous to appalling.
Nothing looked right, these so called spirals did not come across as anything spectacular and portions of the action like trying to ram hiis helo into the other or surviving the horrendous mid air were absolutely pathetic.
overall it didn't show him at his best and certainky didnt do anything to attribute to his training as a helo pilot.
He flies the damn thing with wvery caption lit up and with the entire gearbox and engine aflame and still flies as if it was business as usual.
an insult to the industry and i couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Sheer junk overall. Don't waste your money - go see The Equaliser2 instead!

In la la land where they issue FAA CPL,s... does one have to sit all the exams we need to sit in easa land?
If so - does one honestly believe that TC sat all those exams AND passed them first time....with his filming schedule?
Give me a break. Something doesn't add up.
Did he really fly 200hrs and all those exams just to fart around in a helo on sunny days???
