With Days of Thunder, director Tony Scott tried to do for the Indy 500 what he did for the U.S. Air Force with Top Gun. But without Top Gun's go-go soundtrack and visual feats, Scott merely ends up with a Tom Cruise vehicle that's out of gas. Cruise plays (what else?) a cocky, upstart stock-car racer who faces down ruthless racing opponents. Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Cary Elwes, and Randy Quaid do the laps around this movie's tiresome track with Cruise, while director Scott attempts to propel the action along with his trademark visceral, gritty but glamorous visual style. Days of Thunder is notable, however, as a turning point in Cruise's then one-dimensional career. After this film--having tired even his most devoted fans by playing a bartender, an air force pilot, and a stock-car driver--Cruise was forced to take on real character parts. --Ethan Brown

 Days of Thunder. January 27, 2010
Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Actually I liked this movie despite tom cruise being in it, and commie robert duvall aka I like castro. this movie represents a time when Nascar was actually Exciting and worth watching it, and despite the cheesy music which is a guilty pleasure itself. A very young and skinny John C Reilly is in it.Love the sound of the cars, Even though I have never been a Nascar fan.
 Great movie made even greater January 21, 2010

I've loved this movie for years. It truly allows me to demonstrate the power of a home theater. And now, in Blu-ray... WOW! Enough said.
 Worse then VHS January 12, 2010

I know this movie is crap, but I've always liked it for the funny quotes and how it's so over the top. Any way I give it 1 star because the quality is CRAP.
It looks like 4:3 w/ bars on top. CRAP I tell ya. The sound is okay, not much better though. What master did they copy this from? It looks like they ripped a VHS onto their PC and burned a DVD out of it.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. It was his favorite "sick" movie and he doesn't have a VCR player anymore.
Days of Thunder January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Action drama about an ambitious young race car driver, set against the highly competitive and dangerous NASCAR racing circuit. Days of Thunder is high octane action thriller. Tom Cruise did a really good job as Cole Trickle, and the Nascar Races are very exciting. Great movie, for those of you who haven't seen it I think you should.
