97 Minutes

Another low budget direct to streaming fake action thriller with a washed up former star (Baldwin) appearing for a glorified cameo, and a no name lead doing his best to carry a film weighed down by an abysmal script and amateur direction.

There hasn't been a plane thriller for a while now. The genre had its heyday in the late 90s with Passenger 57, Executive Decision, Con Air, Air Force One, Turbulence and finally had a small revival with Red Eye, Flightplan and Snakes on a Plane. If you enjoyed those, don't get your hopes up. This is bottom of the barrel junk, murkily lit to hide the budget limitations, badly paced and with plot holes big enough to fly a 747 through.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers must be in dire need of cash. This is the second low budget junk movie with him released in a month. He's not the worst actor out there, but I'm not sure he can carry a film. At least not one of this quality, but then again who could.

Alec Baldwin... well we know why he'll take any paycheck he can get now. I think the graphic artist doesn't like him very much. They wisely changed the poster for IMDB, but google the main cover the film, and you will see a hilariously bad photoshop of Baldwin that looks like some grade school kid just figured out the skin smoothing effect on photoshop for the first time. Normally his agent (if he still has one) should have cought that before it went public. But as with most of these direct to streaming movies, no one gives a damn about anything.

If you value your time at all, you'll find a better film to watch.

Pretty mediocre / bad movie in my opinion. It just throws you into it. No build up or anything. Alot of the events that happen doesnt even make sense, a watcher would question it and things are just rushed in. You dont get a feel for any of the characters so you wouldnt really care much about what happens to them really. The government immediately goes to drastic measures as soon as something went wrong?? In all its basic movie everythings really predictable so don expect much

But i can give props to the twist near the end tho.

And lastly the fact that the movie is called "97 Minutes" but it's only 93 minutes long is a bad sign lmao.

My god, avoid at all cost, cause if not it could provoke a heart attack.

I am sure if there was a go found me to be able to produce this film, Alec Baldwin most have been the biggest donor of the funds, otherwise this couldn't be released at all.

I mean, this is the baddest film of this year so far. Poor sound, bad script, scholars acting. The bad guys portrait as simple and bad as possible. The pilot's son is like a cartoon implant. The Doctor as many of the other characters are kind of extracted from a bad theatrical representation.

And I thought The Mother and Fast X were the baddest films this year. But this one surpass them by far.

Short and to the point: there was so much potential that it is baffling how this movie turned out the way it did. Everything you have seen about plane movies is here, just used in the most un-creative way possible. It is a complete mess. Feels like a first year film school project. The fighting sequences look as if they were rehearsing, the plot predictable and full of cliches, even the VFX is so clean that it looks fake. It will leave you wondering about many things; especially how this mess was green lit to be made and then to be released. Frankly, Snakes on a Plane was better than this and you know how bad that was. Steer clear of this bomb of a movie.

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.
