One of the famous action director John Badham's lesser films, "Blue Thunder" is the story of a hi-tech helicopter and the dark conspiracy behind it.
The real let down of this film is the plot, which is not only poorly developed but very vague. There are far too many holes and pieces missing in the storyline. Characterisation is also poor, with many seemingly pivotal roles either dreadfully under worked or ignored entirely. The cast too, are largely uninspired.
Only one thing holds this movie up, and that's the action, which is reasonably impressive. Otherwise, all this is, is a bad excuse for a chopper action flick.
