Robert De Niro plays the brutal, self-destructive instructor who learns some things about himself from his determined recruit. A plot twist late in the picture strains credulity. With Charlize Theron. An action film involving the geriatric set, this Clint Eastwood-directed space adventure is funny, exciting and highly entertaining for young and elderly moviegoers. Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner light up the screen as retired flyboys who are recruited for a daring space mission to repair a damaged Russian satellite that threatens to crash into the Earth.
Special effects are impressive.
