Trust your instincts. Don’t think. Just do.” That’s the new mantra of legendary fighter pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) in this belated and glorious sequel to the Eighties blockbuster that made Cruise a megastar and defined an era of Hollywood film-making: remember high concepts, elevator pitches and visual excess? Maverick still feels the need, the need for speed, but he’s a less cocksure creature this time round. Instead, as an ageing test pilot who’s confined to a cavernous hangar — plastered with original Top Gun photographic memorabilia — in the Mojave desert, he is someone who projects the weather-beaten energy of an elder statesman of action (Cruise will be 60 in July). “The future is coming and you’re not in it!” is another.
