Short Review

This is one of the BEST movies to one watch. It should be one everyone's MUST see list. They made a PC game of this called " Flight of the old dog" and there is. A book by the same title. This should be rated 100%. The acting is great and the story is compelling. Powers Boothe and James Earl Jones are at their best in this movie. Don't miss this movie!
