they should do another movie like this again

Tell me about it! They make such an amazing pair. If you haven't seen The Singing Detective yet, check that one out. It's not quite the same pairing as Air America, but they are both in it!

Hopefully they get a better film to work on. I thought this film was very forgettable; it wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a buddy-comedy or a period drama.

It's interesting to see how the two star's careers have shifted: back in the 1990's Gibson was one of the top stars in Hollywood and Downey was constantly getting in trouble with drugs. Now two decades later, Downey's star power is greater than ever and Gibson's career since 2006 has been plagued with scandals.

Very much agree. If they were working together again, one would definitely hope that the project would be something more memorable than Air America. However their onscreen chemistry was arguably the best thing about the film.🐭

I hope so too. They are really good friends. Most people on the Amazon reviews liked this. 53 five stars and only 3 one star. Nice to read the reviews and how much they enjoy this film.

Yes. They need to team up where Mel directs Robert in Iron Man 4.
