Top guns love stggle agast stutnal homophobia a tone-af melodrama well past s sell-by date.

But good tentns don’t unt for much art, pecially when Greer muddi his own wh a fairly ludicro subplot volvg a dogged NCIS vtigator who spects that a “gay cult” may be rponsible for three seemgly unrelated fatal flight accints (the implitn beg that a gay soldier would rather crash and burn than risk beg outed). Instead, this shockgly amatrish film evok memori of "Makg Love, " the Arthur Hiller film about a married man g to terms wh his homosexualy. Rather than base the wch hunt on the mere speculatn that a pilot may be gay, "Burng Blue" creat an vtigatn to members of one particular squad whose pilots keep dyg on flight manvers.

The seri of events leads the Navy to thk there’s "a gay cell" endangerg s pilots. How "Burng Blue" gets here, and what do afterward, is far more ’s not a gay cell g the accints, ’s a straight pilot. Greer tercuts this poorly amed disaster of a sex scene wh scen of a shirtls Daniel and Matthew dog the funky chicken together at a gay dance club.

THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985

"Even worse, the NCIS agent tormentg Daniel and his crew is the Javert of homophobia.

It’s a rnn between Daniel and the extremely homophobic Will. This ary-set love story about the tentative g-out of two Navy fighter pilots, dramatiz the plitns of the old "don't ask, don't tell' (DADT) policy but feels like a gay dream of Cise's 1986 h Top 1995, two years after Print Clton's DADT promise, Burng Blue animat the subtext of Top Gun's fighter pilot rivalry when buddi Daniel Lynch (Trent Ford) and Stephenson (Man Spector) share a secret durg a missn and their bond is challenged by a new gung-ho pilot, Blackwood (Rob May) nicknamed Ironman.

In the subgenre of gay di (Damn Dietz's 2008 Dog Tags, for stance) this low-budget romanticism isn't new but Burng Blue is both more ser and more affectg than most.
