Active Stealth

This is the most unrealistic military movie that I have ever seen in my life. There are too many inconsistencies too mention them all but here are a few: 1. There are no fighter pilots in the Army, let alone in the Army Rangers 2. In the beginning, the Rangers leave behind their dead and wounded comrades. Rangers would NEVER do this. as stated in the Ranger Creed "never shall I leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy" 3. The Ranger colonel is wearing a Ranger battalion scroll. A full bird colonel would not be in a Ranger battalion, the highest ranking officer in a battalion is a Lieutenant Colonel. The colonel would have to be wearing a 75th Ranger Regiment scroll. 4. The colonel is also wearing an 82nd Airborne Division patch. He COULD NOT be serving in both the Rangers and Airborne at the same time. 5. There is no button on a stealth fighter that turns the stealth on and off. The plane is stealth because of its shape and jamming capabilities, not due to some magic force-field or something. This movie is an insult to all Rangers past and present, and all copies should be burned in a public square.

What is wrong with this movie? E V E R Y T H I N G!!!

An absolute piece of crap, with no storyline and lame acting...what can I say? If you havent seen it you're missing the most absurd film ever!

A must see if you are a masochist or just in case you want to get rid of your wife's sister...

I happened to catch this on one of the cable channels a while back, and the previous reviewer is square-on, it is terrible. This film couldn't have cost more than a hundred grand to make. I've seen better home movies. Daniel Baldwin walks through this looking like he has a perpetual hang-over, and is way too overweight to be taken seriously as a military pilot. He must have been desperate for work at the time. I once served in the Army Rangers with Tim Abell, which is why I kept watching this. While he will never be mistaken for Olivier, Tim has made a name for himself as a notable B-actor, and he seems to find a lot of work. However, this is definitely not his finest effort; in fact, the producers should have hired him as a military consultant instead.

Everything in this movie stinks -- from a fat and wasted looking William Baldwin to an insulting inattention to military detail. I don't expect much from mine-run action flicks but this one was incredibly bad, even by my relaxed standards for the genre. For example, as our heroes are flying in to make the rescue (don't ask), a young female soldier asks the Colonel back at the base, "Do you think they have a chance, sir?" to which the Colonel answers, "Not a chance in hell, but they might make it anyway." Perhaps the only trite line I did not hear was, "It's an old trick, but it just might work." Maxwell Smart would have been comfortable in this one.

The only way to watch this movie is with director's commentary on!

Which the movie itself is sub-par, maybe even below, I can't help but watch this movie over and over again.

Whether its the director talking about

-trying to get the actor's to shoot less blanks in exchange for more taco's -how one can't remove his super bowl rings and even points out a scene -how he wrestles some of the actor's -using the sub set from "Periscope Down" as a aircraft carrier -renting a plane prop from "JAG" that had no wings -always killing an actor -using a wal mart plastic airplane and holding it with his hands -The stock footage of a stealth plane and the one rented from JAG are completely different -simulating clouds with cigar smoke and a fan -Did I mention that for every blank you shoot that costs a dollar,and with that dollar we could buy another taco! -A water bottle is a cheap and effective sound effect to simulate the breaking of your neck

Ever since I saw this movie Daniel Baldwin is my hero, one day I too can be the 'Lost' Baldwin Brother.
