Description
Mel Gibson and Robert Downey, Jr. are two renegade pilots ensnared in the madness of covert operations over Laos during the Vietnam conflict. They lead the crew of AIR AMERICA, a not-so-secret airline that drops everything from live pigs to opium over villages throughout the Vietnam countryside. Join Mel, Robert and the crazy crew of wartime flyers in the funniest action-comedy since "Lethal Weapon 2" and "Good Morning, Vietnam."

Air America is one of those movies that could have been great, and now maintains its low-key reputation as a typical Mel Gibson film in the wake of his first two Lethal Weapon hits. Originally conceived as a biting black comedy about the CIA's top-secret smuggling operation in Laos during the Vietnam war, Air America lost most of its political sting when it was transformed into an action comedy for Gibson and costar Robert Downey Jr. The film is entertaining as far as it goes, with a few action sequences that explain where a lot of the budget went. If you're in the mood for some Mel, this one is a little off the beaten path, and still contains a percentage of its original potential. --Jeff Shannon

Robert T. Preston (Schijndel, the Netherlands)
My DVD came to my home, quickly, and without a scratch. Amazon is fast becoming my first mode of shopping. Great movie, and a fair price.
 Action packed January 14, 2010
T. Polis (Long Island, NY USA)
This was an action packed video but a little far-fecthed. I enjoyed Mel Gibson as usual and Robert Downey Jr too.
A fun movie January 9, 2010
Arthur R. Flint
This is a fun movie to watch. It takes great liberty with the real Air America. From the illegal drug factory in the town that does not exist to pigs falling from the sky, this movie with its adult language is not for all, but if you like Mel Gibson, you will like this one.
Fantastic Blu-Ray Movie January 9, 2010
Clyde H. Hedlund
Seven dollar Blu-Ray movies motivated me to buy a Blu-Ray player and wow!!! I'm glad I did. Just wonderfull entertainment watching this movie in Blu-Ray and listening to the fabulous Blue-Ray enhanced sound track too. Lots of vivid explosive scenes and 7.1 sound. Even "Tricky Dicky" looked good. Go crank it up, you'll love it and laughs galore.
