Killing Moon

Now I know why I get Showtime for free...because they show horrifying turds like this. The Canadians are delightful at their humor but I have yet to see a thriller I like...I did love when the hatch opened - it looked like the packing peanuts were coming in from the outside, the image of the plane diving mine as well as have been drawn in by a 5 year old with a Cratola crayon, and no offense to the actress playing the attendant, but I loved watching her tossed to the ground. I had a great laugh. And the blunders! An inter-island flight could not be rerouted for a final destination to LA: There would be fuel problems, not to mention requirements for a different plane, right? Never watch...not worth it!

I get Showtime for free with my cable package...and now I know why. They offer junk such as this to chose from. When I saw there was a Baldwin brother in the cast and Penelope Miller as well, I thought maybe it might be semi-decent. Well..I was so wrong about that. As I watch this..it gets worse and worse. The acting skills of most of the cast is weak and the plot line beyond ridiculous. Apparently, this is a government caused disaster..a planned one...and the unknowing passengers are basically guinea pigs for the entire thing. I can clearly see why Daniel Baldwin has never been more than a B-movie actor..he does not have much depth to his character at all. I am sure Ms. Miller wishes she had avoided accepting her role in this mess too. The set looks so fake,the blood looks fake...the expressions on the faces of the actors look fake..well..you get the idea. As I am watching this..the wise guys have just opened a hatch...and chaos has briefly ensued..but they found the stuff to save the people who have gotten sick from whatever virus was being carried on the plane. The decision to draw straws is made to decide who gets the meds to save them against the virus...cos..well..there isn't enough for everyone...of course..possibly thanks to government planning? One of the characters is a very rude guy who speaks up loudly every few minutes..and he tries to bargain with passengers by offering money to them to buy a dose of the antidote..but...OK...they are in the sky..on a doomed plane..where is he going to get the big bucks to give anyone? And the guy who is "just a coroner"...seems very knowledgeable about everything...wow..he is kind like a genius perhaps? Is he going to solve this mysterious problem and save everyone? Or is the plane going to crash into the ocean anyway like the government wants it to? ...which might be a good way to end it all and stop the horrible lines these poor saps have to keep speaking in every scene. The plot gets worse and worse. If you see this film in a video store..walk on past..unless you enjoy bad acting and flimsy plot lines...even seeing in for free seems to expensive to me.

This was bad, super bad even for a made-for-TV movie but I reached a point where I had to see it through. Decent enough acting from B list stars, terrible script, as in no research done or it technically doesn't make sense. Styrofoam pellets used during a scene when the cargo door randomly opens, that sort of thing.

Follows an airplane full of passengers who are slowly succumbing to an mysterious virus on a commercial flight to Hawaii. Think a very weak version of Airport crossed with Outbreak. As an FYI this was filmed in Edmonton (as Los Angeles), nothing is filmed in Edmonton and it definitely doesn't look like L.A.

Interesting to watch this during these Covid days though because the whole time I'm freaking out about the amount of touching going on, doctor checking each passenger in turn without gloves, no masks even when they know its a virus. Enjoyed the doctor/mortician guy (Daniel Kash) reminding me of Star Trek as he kept exclaiming, this man is dead! Kim Coates overacts, forgets to limp, carries his cane, passengers spew blood, it leaks out their eyes, CDC agents on the ground try to figure stuff out, one of the Baldwins is in it, he's terrible, Smoking Man from the X-Files shows up.

A made for tv movie starring Penelope Anne Miller, Killing Moon has a good plot but poor direction and screenplay. The cast did a good job with the exception of Daniel Baldwin who has absolutely no acting talent and is definately the worst performer of the Baldwin brothers. While the plot had plenty of potential, it was'nt developed properly by the writers who did a pretty ordinary job with the conclusion as well. All in all, it's a typical tv movie - good performances from Penelope Anne Miller, Daniel Kash and Diana Salvatore.

This is the worst movie I have seen in the past year. I rented it on tape and could tell right away it was a for TV production. My expectations lowered, but could not get to the level of this sub-TV-standard slop. The movie was obviously a low budget effort, judging by these examples: an interisland flight in Hawaii only had 20 passengers, the plane only had a flight crew of two, the set for the 737 was a DC-10 set from another movie and only 3 Federal agents became involved in a major medical/air disaster! The number of technical errors were numerous too, such as the one hour and forty minute trans-Pacific flight time from Hawaii to California. The worst part of this movie was the performance by Daniel Baldwin, one of the Baldwin boys. It is obvious why we see less of him than his other brothers. I had a hard time figuring out what the deal was with him making a heart-shaped design with the fingers of his hands across his belly as he walked stiffly around the control room. His overacting outbursts were ridiculous too. Avoid this one. Watch one of the old Airport movies instead.
