Interceptor

I've missed the stupid action hero's of the 80s & 90. It disengage my brain for 1hr 30 mins and that what I need at the moment.

Acting was dreadful but it fit the genre and reminded me of the straight to video movies you took a punt on for a Friday night.

Interceptor is something like Die Hard (or Under Siege) but instead John McClane wie get a G. I. Jane, and like those Die Hard movies this one is also full of implausible things and events happening - but it got no Bruce Willis or Alan Rickman in the cast to compensate the plot holes by charismatic performances, also the action and fighting scenes are no way of the same quality. Anyway, production is okay for a B flick, acting solid, but the whole story is just one big cliche, a formulaic, generic affair, and therefore I really don't know why I should recommend Interceptor to you. Hopefully, one day some coding hexer will develop an algorithm that can write better, more interesting and entertaining stories, as those human writers are able to write these days.

This is one of those rare moments when you should trust the negative reviews. Elsa Pataky was fine in the small roles she had in the Fast and Furious films but she is not an action star and her acting can not support a film on its own. Apart from that the cgi in this is TERRIBLE, it looks like you are watching a direct to video film from the 80s. The writing is awful, the one liners in this are so generic and completely uninspired. The action in this is also very bland and the fight scenes are too repetitive. Nothing about this movie is fresh or entertaining, I'm not sure who the target audience is supposed to be but this is one movie that you should avoid.

If you:

• like high-intensity plots that are incredibly well-researched
• have waited for ages to finally see a believable and well-written female action lead
• love great, witty dialogue and its flawless delivery
• are a fan of sublety and great taste in pacing
• have a faible for a sublime, but powerful score
• long for incredibly emotional and competent acting
• have an eye for masterful direction
• hope for Netflix to greenlight content based on quality for a change
• despise nepotism
• are hyped by gritty, well-choreographed and skillfully performed, captured and edited action

you should skip this and save yourself the embarrassment.

It's a fun to watch if you don't have a lot of expectations. Full of clichés and cinematic simplifications. At times you think the film is aimed for elementary school children.
