Air America (1990)
Finally, here we are at the end of Robert Downey Jr.'s horrible 80s phase. Air America is an unimpressive movie (commercial pilots are conscripted by the government and unwillingly contribute to the drug trade in Laos during the Vietnam War) but at least by this point, RDJ was starting to get hot. I'm uncomfortable with any movie he appeared in that involves drugs, given his real life trouble, but his performance here was pretty good. The movie's supposed to be a comedy, but it dances pretty close to the line of serious drama.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
