Avis à la une
An unexpectedly good movie that could have benefited a lot from a larger budget. Miniatures are used in the shots of the Concorde, and it shows. It was rated R for violence, though it had less violence than most TV shows. Profanity throughout was unnecessary and could have been edited out. Brian Bosworth does an adequate job as the Air Force officer who gets called on when anything goes wrong. Michael Dorn shines in a non-Worf role that shows he can play someone else other than a Trek character. David Hedison is great as the U.S. Senator and is the only actor to look like he was actually walking on a a real plane. Shannon Whirry, who plays his political assistant, shows that she can handle an action role. Best of all are the scenes with the NSA agents.
1st watched 4/4/2001 - 4 out of 10(Dir-Fred Olen Ray): ok movie, with ok acting, and ok action, and ok story. This type of movie has been done before with much more intensity with some of the same things done that are supposed to bring up the tension(Aka. Person flying the plane at the climatic end of movie has never flown before), corrupt politicians at the top (Aka. President Cliff Richardson) with gung-ho save-all action hero(Aka. Brian Bosworth), and weak love interest(Aka. Sharron Whirry). Lame attempt to recycle.
This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The acting,the effects,the plot basically all of the movie was horrible.The F-14 who can't take down a simple Concorde,the stupid lines,the fact that fuel is leaking from the end of the plain where the baggage compartment is and so on,an so on.There was the sexy role of Shannon Whirry which brightens up the movie a little bid.There is also Brian Bosworth who is playing a Michael Dudikoff type of hero who is going to save everybody and he sucked as the hole movie if you ask me.But hey if there are movies like that young actors can find work.And it was a super commercial for the Concorde too.
I still am mad at myself as to why did i chose to rent this movie in the first place. Pathetic is written all over the movie and i still failed to see it......hope time will heal my wounds! If you are planning to watch this one i would suggest there are other better movies out there.
The acting by Brian Bosworth, Shannon Whirry, Ciff Robertson and Michael Dorn was pretty solid despite the script they had to work with.
Steve Latshaw wrote a very pedestrian script filled with weak clichés and one liners. The dialogue is only part of what brought this film down.
The direction was horrid. Fred Olen Ray, who had directed such classics as Vampire Vixens from Venus and Bikini Drive In, does a horrid job directing this movie. The cuts, the angles, the closeups - everything he did was pedestrian. The music, the sound editing, everything was bad.
If it wasn't for some solid acting from a few select cast members this wouldn't be worth the time. As is, it is a fair little action flick. Just don't expect much. At all ...
