This movie seems a bit cheesy and cliché at first glance and it somewhat is, but I still loved it. Tom Cruise basically re-acted Maverick from Top Gun (which is one of my all-time favorites. It's as if he changed his... Full review

Cole Trickle enters the high-pressure world of Nascar racing. He's a hot driver with a hot temper, and this attitude gets him into trouble not only with other drivers, but members of his own team as well. deemed as a flop... Full review

This movie joins The Adventures of Ford Fairlane as a movie where nothing even close to danger or a crisis or anything bad happens to the protagonist. Tom Cruise shows up at the race track as studly as can be like... Full review

Tom Cruise at this point in his career, after Top Gun, should have known to pick a better film than this one. Days of Thunder is not a bad movie, not quite as boring as The Color of Money, for example,... Full review

I am watching this film for the first time on tv and it is horrible. The stuff that cruise does in this show would never happen in the real race. I guess thats hollywood for you but this show is a... Full review

It takes a special kind of casting to completely blow a film's credibility - and seeing idiot boy Tom Cruise cast his girlfriend Nicole Kidman as a brain surgeon? That did it for me. They could have been driving bumper cars... Full review

In the Top Gun genre although without the homo eroticism. But a great performance from Duvall who lights up the screen every time he is on - which is often. Nicole Kidman lights up the screen as well and not just... Full review

Although Days of Thunder is far from the best film by Tony Scott or Tom Cruise, it is a lot of fun and features some good performances from the supporting cast. The film looks good on Blu-ray ... Full Review

Final Thoughts Whether you're a NASCAR nut, Tom Cruise fan or you believe as I do that Robert Duvall brings credibility to every film he makes, Days of Thunder is worth a spin. Add to the mix Michael Rooker as a rival driver, Nicole Kidman as the obligatory love interest, throw in some truly exhilarating race photography and you get one surprisingly entertaining popcorn flick. ...

Full of cringe-worthy dialogue and endless shots of cars zooming around in circles, Days of Thunder is a moronic outing that doesn't even supply the "so bad it's funny" laughs of the previous Tony Scott - Tom Cruise collaboration Top Gun. You'll agree with these rapturous accolades if a bone-headed drama about a pint-sized stock car racer with a massive ego is your idea of a good time at the movies. ... Full Review

Days of Thunder 's crack-ups are extremely impressive. In structure it's just a soap opera mixed with good, tough action scenes - it sounds as simpleminded as, say, a Tom Cruise movie. ... Full Review

Without that big booby-trapped skyscraper to hold the action together, it stands as a grimly hit-or-miss version of that old '70s dinosaur, the disaster movie. Yet in the patented Simpson-Bruckheimer style, it replaces dramatic involvement with a kind of superficial, rock & roll empathy - it's as though we were watching Cruise's character and playing air guitar to his emotions. ...

No one in the 10 p.m. time slot's got swagga like Jay . Leno , that is. The usually edgeless talk-show host just managed to book Rihanna for her first public performance since the Chris Brown attack six months ago. ... Full Article
