I had the same feeling when I watched it.  It was a mixed emotion
in that I think for a pilot, some of the flying scenes could be
really cool to see, but, it could really cast a negative light
on GA pilots & planes, and bring some unnecessary (negative) attention
to our sport/hobby.  Wouldn't it just stink to find out that suddenly
after some bureaucrat watches the movie they decide to vote for
some additional TFR's or flight restrictions, or laws restricting
the *possibility* that our planes could be used for such tasks.
Additionally, the trailer seems to glamorize the drug runners,
and turn them into the heroes rather than to put them in
a more negative light.  So while I really would love to see
the flying scenes, I'm actually hoping the movie doesn't hit
the mainstream.

I imagine the movie was fun to work on, especially if you were doing some of the flying.  However, I'm concerned that this is going to give the average movie-goer, who doesn't know anything about GA airplanes, a really warped view of experimental aircraft and what they're really about.  This may not be good for the flying community.
