Firefox (1982)

A truly terrible film directed by Clint Eastwood, who stars as a military pilot tasked with stealing a thought-controlled Soviet fighter aircraft.

It’s confusingly plotted. The acting is hammy. There’s a total lack of dynamism. Clint is alone for much of the film so has no one to play off or interact with. Indeed, he has to talk to himself most of the time. Meanwhile, stilted, static scenes of grumpy army generals standing around talking does not make for good drama.

A fundamentally misconceived mess.
