Review of Space Cowboys
Year: 2000 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Aging flight veterans, played by producer-director Clint Eastwood and his colleagues, are recalled by NASA to repair a Russian space satellite that uses an antiquated guidance system only the old-timers understand. They get to the satellite and things are not what they seem. Given the weakness of the story, it is a credit to the actors that they get through it without looking ridiculous. More than that, they are credible and engaging in this two-hour light comedy that puts Mission to Mars to shame. Not the greatest movie of the year, but a lovable and enjoyable one.
Rating: 5/10
