97 Minutes

Funny how this films runtime is shorter than 97minutes including credits yet moves so slow it would just fall out if the sky.

What is this movie, and if this was filmed before Baldwins issues, who does he owe? Not even Nicolas Cage would take on something this cheap for a quick buck, it's just trash filmed in an aeroplane hanger. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is certainly suffering for his sins having to take this type of low budget lead, and it's clear he's only doing it 'for the cash', it's all anyone's doing. If there was a casting director they surely need to be blacklisted, their choices were appalling.

Generic everything, poor effects, stupid twists, and the worse most intrusive score I've heard in a long time. It's a slog at 93minutes.

Don't board this one.

Seemed like a high school project. Not worth the time. Bad acting matched with low quality CGI. Its disappointing to see Hollywood heavy hitter Alec Baldwin participating in such low quality production. What I don't understand is why so many people would try and be a part of something that requires so much time and logistics to put together but put so less effort on making it work. Sad thing is I probably put more effort into writing this review than the producers put into making this film. Also, it would be nice if they didn't put fake ratings on movies like these to trick people into watching them.

I was hopeful at the start, because I was really into an action packed disaster movie, but from the very start I expected troubles ahead...

The bad: this movie is cheaply made and one can tell, Everything from the leading credits, to the sound, to the photography, all these technical aspects are way below average. It's quite cringeworthy to watch these cheap special effects, it's as if we are watching a seventies disaster movie, with lots of ridiculous fake effects.

More bad: what's even worse though is that the many supporting actors unintentionally are becoming a laughing stock, by the really terrible, yet funny way they (try) to act.

And as the final blow this movie simply never ever achieves to thrill for one mere second.

Not any good then? It's absolutely a new low for Alec Baldwin, who is starring in this disastrous flick. Although I must admit his performance was still kinda convincing, because he is still a good actor, running on lower ground though...

This film barely even qualifies as a B film, more like a C film. A high school drama class can come up with a better movie. The writing had plot holes, inconsistencies and technical issues, as clearly no research went into any elements of this film - from flying/landing a plane, cabin pressure, mid-air debris explosions, security, etc. Even the dialogue was infantile dramatics and boring nonsense filler for the most part. Writer, producer and actor in this film Pavan Grover apparently is a doctor in real life, yet in the film when the pilot gets shot, his medical training inclination was to put a red tube in one nostril (hardly any first aid kit in the world would have this apparatus in it) and patch him up, so I question his skills as a doctor to be about as good as his writing, which clearly is terrible. The directing was just as bad, and the fight scenes were the worst and laughable choreography I have ever seen. The CGI, especially the flashback bombing explosion was laughable.

If you could concoct a film that denied you all facts, that could relay a story in disjointed acts, where the edits and acting were cobbled and crude, where the outcomes can't be more distorted and skewed; then sit down, buckle up, as you're in for a ride, watch a plane that's been crippled, without effort just glide, listen in behind doors that can catch all you whisper, it's not long that you think they've all had a good snifter (the writers must have been three sheets at least); be afraid for the money that's been spent of defences, as tugging on wires can outfox all their senses (sight unseen!), be afraid, really worry, you might raise a red flag, if you meet terrorists, with a magical bag, out of which they can conjure an old Russian bomb, and deploy it like they're, in your favourite sitcom.
