    A very B class movie that could be done a lot better

    This is one of the cheesiest movies i have ever seen. They takes lines through out the movie from great movies like Top Gun, Comanche, and Fire Birds. The flight scenes are the worst I have ever seen in a movie looking like they used R/C Helicopters to do most of the stunts. How much did it take to make this movie? Couldn't have been much. As far as the ground stunts and explosions looks to much like computer generated. The actors did an OK job for who they are. If movie where to be remade i would spend a lot more money. Also it shows in the movie that the military was not consulted very much or they probably would not have signed off. Just goes to show that anybody with a little bit of money can try to make a movie although not a very good one

    No words to express outrage

    I am watching this crap of film on TV and can not believe that some American film company can make this kind of film.Bad scenes of action,film with name "Air strike" without ANY real action war scene with helies?Even uniforms doesn't look like American!!Action is placed in imagined country name Petrovia?!What???Same animated scenes of helicopters in battle repeated several times...This film is insult for intelligence of average person.I really would like to see the budget for this film and how much money did it earned.I am still so shocked that I caught myself in serious thinking to contact the director or writer of screenplay,or even company which made this film with kindliest ask:Don't make this rubbish anymore!!!!Please!!!

    95 minutes of rubbish.

    I rented this DVD for $1 as a weekly, and I still feel ripped off. I cannot imagine the production company made a profit from this film? I hope DEJ productions make a better film next time.

    Also, it looks bad when they use poor computer animation for some of their helicopter scenes.

    There seemed to be a lacking of logic in the way the soldiers and pilots carried out their missions. Poor editing too, probably just rushed. But what can I expect for $1.

    You may be able to get a refund on your money, but that is 95 minutes of your life you will never see again.

    Very low budget despite what the poster look like

    (2002) Air Strike ADVENTURE/ WAR/ ACTION

    Straight-to-rental and very low budget semi- war movie centering on a group of soldiers that fly Longbow helicopters shown on the poster, and apparently one or two helicopters were shot down while shooting at some terrorist site on some European country full of trees and bushes similar to what one can see from his back yard. This specific action set piece uses old fashion animation and model sets which if anyone were to use the pause button should be able to make out that it looks really fake. Anyways, the movie was originally made in 2002 and not 2004 as RT indicated above which was closest to the time when 9/11 happened and it is intended to rally American soldiers except that the acting was second rate and the action is mediocre at best. The main good guys are the American soldiers of course combating a war on terrorism except that it's on some other foreign land that is farthest from where terrorists reside but was made like that because it may be made during the invasion of Iraq and not Afghanistan. Some helicopter soldiers after a fake unconvincing gunfire shoot out blasting bridges and so forth, and they they appear to be winning this little war since one of the soldiers was chanting U-S-A... U-S-A, until a single terrorist armed with a RPG manages to shoot down two Longbow helicopters equipped with several missile strikes. So they retreat and upon returning to the base happens to be a brother of the main star of the movie who vows revenge on the terrorist whose responsible. He was supposed to be done but because that unfortunate news, he was forced to come out of retirement. The terrorists also succeed in robbing some European bank with absolutely no problem including blowing up the area where they stole money from is one of the ludicrous scenes for a film to finance their terrorism acts which has nothing to do with the them indicates that the story was improvised just because it could even though the main baddie doesn't even need the money because he's also a drug trafficker. Illogical and terrible with small glimpses underneath young girls skirts/ dresses while dancing. The movie itself looks like it could've been directed by Roger Cormon himself. Avoid at all costs BOMB.

    I didn't spend a dime to watch this movie and I still felt cheated...

    I believe this is a major accomplishment by Hollywood. The first widely distributed commercial movie directed and written entirely by 12 year olds.

    The clichés are overwhelming, the editing seems to have been done by a lazy slob - especially apparent during a scene where top army brass watch a helicopter goes down on his monitor screen - who the heck was the stupid jerk holding a camera 50 feet from a battle helicopter in a jungle during combat?

    Last words: if Americans really do act the way they are portrayed in this movie, it is no wonder that many hate them so much.
