Air Marshals - Horrorflug ins Ungewisse

AIR MARSHAL is one of those movies that not only insults your intelligence, but it dares you to care. Not only does the screenplay play on 9/11, even having a character use the line "Let's roll", but I have not seen this much plot contrivances in a long, long time. Truly an awful movie, only saved (if you can call it that) by its audacity to be exploitative, stupid, and at the same time, convoluted up to a point where you just have to shake your head in dismay.

And would someone please tell B-movie filmmakers to stop using cheap-looking CGI models? If they can't afford actual props, shouldn't they steer their screenplays AWAY from films that requires them?

There are bad movies and then there are bad movies. AIR MARSHAL is just...bad.

Okay now, I've read all the other commentaries here on IMDb, and I can conclude that all positive reviews come from people in the US (who appear to think that ANY movie concerning killing Arab-types can't be a bad movie) and/or women that squirm by the sight of this joke of a lead, this Prescott-figure.

People, this movie sucks. I hope they stored it in a safe place, because of you'd leave this movie uncovered in an open field, it would create a black hole. Honestly.

The acting... WHAT acting? The special effects... Did they use MS-PAINT to make that "plane"? - The inaccuracy where it comes to armed forces, procedures, flying an airplane... The crew on this movie could not even portray someone blinking, even if they tried hard.

Too bad you can't vote for NO stars whatsoever.

Pretty lame excuse for a thriller. This is one of those films where you spot fake accents, spot continuity gaffes and watch bad acting and corny lines. Working like Bruckheimer with no money, Air Marshal struggles to do too much with too little. The real question is, why do low-budget filmmakers try to make huge action pictures that they can't possibly afford the effects and actors for? Why not make a talking heads movie with ideas and art involved? I guess that would be asking too much.

This will never open in theaters, so go to a video store and dig around in a few years, you'll find it there.

I really hate this movie and lame because, the main antagonist's actor doesn't have other good characters, someone put number eleven cast as a villain pure evil, it's torture, Wanted: Ammar Daraiseh and Ianev Binov and Nikolay (Ahmed), they completely worthless, no good characters, Ammar Daraiseh changes voice looks like Emperor Palpatine and Voldemort and Sauron. That main antagonist is keeps me inside my body and overthinks me, it destroy my memory to faded me, the main antagonist said "killing women and children!". The main antagonist smile is horrible and he looks like Emperor Palpatine and Voldemort. I hate this movie freaking Ammar Daraiseh is a monster.

Others have already pointed to the stereotypes in connection with 9/11. I will focus on tech details of the aircraft. An American crew that operates a simulated (Russian) Tupolev 134 with a Bulgarian registration! They even had an elevator in the plane to make the audience believe this was a 747. The designer of the cockpit must have been either delirious or suffer from another major psychiatric disorder. That also goes for the special effects people. The airplane movements were totally unrealistic and probably the result of a doped flight simulator sequence. The film was aired by a commercial TV-station. It was enough to switch off after 10 minutes. It couldn't be more incredible.
