Turbulence

People who are rating it below 5 definitely need a psychiatrist. It is an outstanding thriller which keeps you at the edge of your seat till the end.

This is an okay Lifetime or Hallmark thriller which I caught on Prime. The lead women are great and overall, though we've seen "family taken hostage" films many times before, this one is a decent example for the genre. Not rating this as a film ready for theaters, but for a TV movie, it's what you'd expect in terms of quality.

More proof that all hollyweird can do is remake a movie.

A dirtbag senator kills a woman, and all that stands between him and acquittal, we're to believe, is a clear video of him murdering the girl. The quick-witted senator comes up with a foolproof plan: have an FBI agent delete the video and he'll get off scott free!

Sure he will.

The video in unequivocal and has been seen by dozens of people. Even without the video they can all attest to what they saw. Ooops. The senator wasn't wearing gloves and touched the girl in various places on her body. DNA. Ooops. People saw the two of them leave together. Ooops. Even without the video the case against the senator is compelling.

Fitting the plot is the terrible acting. Dina Meyer plays an FBI agent with zero skills or training. She's a helpless victim the entire run of the movie. She deduces that the kidnappers aren't going to let her family go regardless, not to mention she herself has seen a kidnapper's face, yet she complies with their demands anyway. How stupid is she? If they're sentenced to die, grab Victoria, beat the location out of her, call the cavalry, and hold her as hostage. Victoria Pratt is her usual unconvincing self. Nothing to see here. The woman can't act. Everyone else gives a soap opera or lower grade performance.

Three stars for a movie with three sets.

I do not know why people are rating this thriller less than 5. I found this very fast moving and good edge of the seat thriller.. Of course there are many loopholes.. But, if you forget the loopholes, then you can definitely enjoy this thriller.
