This film suffers horrendously from its direction "Julian Grant" , and its incompetent lead, Steve Guttenberg, who's putting a solid effort to win a Bruce Willis look-alike contest! The writing is reckless Hollywood action thriller; Sean Bean --whose one of my favorites-- David Fraser, and Kim Coates give a decent performance. The film is definitely below average. 3 out of 10! I wonder what Hollywood studios thought, actually giving the go ahead, to weak director such as Grant. And I'd say to Sean Bean "what were you thinking even considering participating in a film like this, after such great films like GoldenEye, Ronin, and Patriot Games!

Wow... this is the kind of movie that makes you wonder who's idea this was and what soup kitchen are they eating at now. To say this was bad is an insult to the bad movies we all know and love.

When I saw Guttenberg's name in the TV guide I figured it would be a spoof... maybe it should have been. Could have made for a better movie.

Look for the scene where they are in an airplane in mid flight with the door open and there is no wind what so ever. They could have sprung for a fan at least.

Look for several Canadian & c-list actors in the movie. This is the kind of movie that litters the b-rate cable stations you never watch except on a rainy Sunday.

I love most movies and I'm a big fan of Sean Bean so I thought that I would at least LIKE this movie. Also, I'm Canadian and this is a mostly-Canadian movie so I was prepared to cut it some serious slack. Nothing could have prepared me for the garbage that is "Airborne". Steve Guttenberg as an action hero? Give me a break. The acting throughout the movie was so bad I am going to have trouble sleeping tonight. I now have only two wishes in my life.

1. I hope that you never have to sit through this movie. 2. I wish I could get those 6 hours back. Oh wait, the movie's under 2 hours - it only seemed like 6 hours...

Don't watch this. Seriously.

This is one of the best comedies ever to be put on video, the trouble is, 'Airborne' is not meant as a comedy. Its meant as a one of those high octane, action thrillers with plot twists around every corner. I cant even begin to describe how bad the acting is in this one. The only person who comes out with any kind of credibility is Kim Coates who, as always, is excellant. The rest of the cast, Im afraid, are nothing short of dreadful. Especially Steve Guttenberg. I've always thought he was a terrible actor and his performance in this one proves it. His facail expression never changes throughout. This film is a pretty dire effort.

all i can say about this film is to read the back of the video case and then put it back on he shelf and pick anything else, i mean anything, a blank video, would be better than watching this.

A cut above from the usual straight to video actioneer, Airborne has enough in the tank to keep it going for the full 90 minutes, although you can't help but think of how low former '80's comedy golden boy Steve Guttenburg has stooped to be in such a cheap production (and playing a hard man too!). The plot is simple, the baddies have stolen a deadly virus and Guttenburg and the rest of his goodie pals are sent to retrieve it, Not bad of its kind but not in the same league (obviously) as the films it is compared too on the cover such as AIR FORCE ONE and CON AIR. The cast is good though, with Sean Bean reprising his Brit.-bad guy character which we have had a glimpse of in such box office smashes as GOLDENEYE and PATRIOT GAMES.

This awful "action thriller" (I use the term loosely) is an the nadir of straight-to-video trash. Desperately ripping off the plots and ideas of just about anything that worked, the only exciting thing about this are the closing credits which at least provide some release from the stultifying boredom that the rest of this film brings. From the incredibly lame CGI effects work (they were too cheap to have a plane), to the barely coherent, mumbled dialogue and the smatterings of poorly-edited action, this is a bomb all the way.

Steve Guttenberg, still smarting after his career in the doldrums with the POLICE ACADEMY series and desperate to branch out into new areas (although with this kind of choice he isn't doing himself any favours) stars as the ageing hero who desperately wants to be Bruce Willis, even down to the nine o' clock shadow. Elsewhere, Sean Bean is the imported star who has only a few minutes screen time while the other actors and actresses blur into one in their sheer inability to act convincingly.

Loud music plays over anything remotely "exciting" which is enough to make for you to reach for the remote, only for Guttenberg to mumble inaudibly in the next scene. It's extremely annoying. The plot doesn't make sense, the twists are lamentable and there's barely any action as it is. Unless you have a bizarre desire to watch a low budget shot of a man getting frozen by liquid nitrogen (TERMINATOR 2 this ain't) then avoid this like the plague. Not the worst film ever made, but certainly close.

OK.. I'll admit, it's not exactly Oscar worthy, but I thought this film was a great escape for an hour and a half! The plot was fairly predictable, but I tend to have a soft spot for cheesy films, especially cheesy action films, so that didn't bother me...

Steve Guttenberg is unfortunately unconvincing as an action hero, and for me personally, there were a few too many shots of him bare chested! Torri Higginson acted her socks off (as always) and her, and the rest of the cast, did an amazing job in salvaging the film from being a turkey... If the supporting cast hadn't been as strong, this film could have ended up being fairly unbearable.

If you go to watch this film expecting a work of genius, you'll be sorely disappointed... If you take it a face value (i.e. as a good old fashioned mindless action flick) you'll enjoy it...

'Airborne' might not be the best action film you'll see, but I rather enjoyed it. The action sequences were nicely done and I enjoyed the all-star cast.

Steve Guttenberg's character, Bill McNeil, is a bit too grouchy, and he really ought to smile more. There was no real reason why he should be so wood-faced from the beginning. Later, yes, it might be acceptable when he realized they've been set up, and off course mourning the murder of his best friend. Nevertheless, Guttenberg is looking fit and strong, and (thankfully) they find enough excuses to display his muscular physique. I didn't mind one bit!

There are twists around every corner. 'Airborne' does play more like an episode from a television action detective series, but there were enough here to keep me interested. Sean Bean's character, Dave, was underdeveloped and it felt like he was only really on screen when needed. Ron Simpson (Colm Feore) was by far the most interesting character.

The film has a thrilling, fast-paced finale. Not bad at all for a film made over two decades ago. I enjoyed this!

Would I watch it again? Yes.

It sounded so promising in the Rental Store, the premise sounded great and I couldnt wait to get home and watch it. It was Apalling the Diologue is Dreadful, The Action is Extremely badly Scripted and the Plot takes a nosedive from the beginning. Gutenberg puts in a pathetic performance, Sean Bean tries his best but with a script this bad there wasnt much he could do.

This isnt even worth watching, even if you can get it for free (borrow it off a friend for instance) Dont as you will regret it and waste 90 Minuites of your life.

0/10

Nothing to see here - really is a trash film. I watched it for Sean Bean only.

3/10

My friends and I rented this movie mistaking it for another one about skateboarding. Watchin Steve Guttenberg as an action hero is hilarious. The movie is so incredibly predictable and over the top that it ended up being a laugh fest. Even though I gave it a 1/10 this movie should be seen especially if u manage to catch it on TV anywhere.

This film tries very hard to be an "action" film, but it fails miserably.

Steve Guttenberg plays the head of an elite counter-terrorist team that fails (?) in attempt to keep a mysterious group from stealing a deadly nerve agent.

The story...the acting...the special effects...ALL FALL FLAT!!!

Definitely A MUST AVOID!!!!

I saw this movie for free during Toronto's FantAsia '98 Festival, and I wanted my money back. The director was present (and was in fact was one of the organizers of FantAsia) and someone asked him, after the film, if he had a hat full of cliches that he picked from to make the film. This film is BAD. It's worse than Highlander 2. It has NO redeeming features whatsoever. Cliche after cliche. Avoid at all possible costs. There is nothing to see here. Please move along.

I had a pretty good idea that "Airborne" would be a bad movie before I actually watched it, because it was a production by Le Monde Entertainment, a Canadian outfit that made nothing but bad B movies during its run. So why did I watch it voluntarily? Two reasons, one being that it had Sean Bean in its cast, an actor I feel is very underrated. The second reason was that the movie promised to have Steve Guttenberg given the atypical acting job of playing an action star - and I thought that might be worth a few unintended laughs.

However, I was disappointed by both promises. Sean Bean has only what could be called an extended cameo - it's obvious he knocked off his few brief scenes in just a few days of shooting. As for Guttenberg, while there are a few (mild) chuckles seeing him act tough and swearing, he's for the most part pretty bland and not that lively.

In fact, the rest of the movie is just as bland and unexciting as Guttenberg. There is far more talk than action. And when the action does come, it's pretty badly handled, being poorly directed, choreographed, and edited. Part of this is probably due to the fact the movie clearly didn't have an adequate budget. The movie has a cheap look and feel like one you would associate with a 1990s Canadian television show.

If you think I am slamming this movie for being a B movie, I'm not. In fact, I *love* a great number of B movies. But this particular one simply doesn't cut it.

Pathetic action film which tries too hard to be all action and ends up way too much in bad movie terrotory throwing up cliche after cliche...

I mean, Guttenburg with his mandotory unshaven look speaks softly and roughly - I couldn't stop laughing nor take him seriousily. His facial expressions hardly change, if ever.

Sean Bean of Sharpe fame is okay in this but he isn't in the film enough and the rest of the film fails to grab my attention at all.

Overall: 0/10
