Brace for Impact: Indagine ad alta quota

"Sophia Gilchrist" (Kerry Condon) is an agent for the FACB (Flight Activities Control Board) which is an agency responsible for examining aircraft accidents. However, as the story unfolds we learn that Sophia has an unusual trait in that she is very afraid of flying. So much so that when she finally boards a flight with her brother (in order to overcome this fear) she ends up leaving just before the airplane takes off. It's not until she is driving to her destination that she learns that the flight crashed--killing all on board-including her brother. Needing answers to gain closure she begins investigating the accident even though she has been ordered to distance herself from it due to creating a potential conflict of interest. Unfortunately, because of feelings of guilt, she disobeys orders and continues to investigate in spite of warnings to cease and desist. And her continued activity creates all sorts of problems for everyone involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting film by and large but it suffered from a socially liberal bias which was simply too obvious to be ignored. It also had a rather anti-climactic ending which seemed a bit too rushed as well. In any case, I thought this movie was good enough for the most part and all things considered I have rated it accordingly. Average.

Like another reviewer on here, I am also one of the most conservative reviewers on IMDb which seems to be stacked with liberals only. That being said, I loved this movie, too. Not enough for 9 or 10 stars, but for 8 stars! Unlike others, I found this movie very entertaining, one of the few B movies that actually was done quite well. I love a good thriller. And this movie fit the bill because instead of nitpicking the little things, this story drew me in and did NOT waste my time with a surreal or weirdly thought provoking nonsense most of Hollywood is foisting on us today. Either that or horror movies that are either absurdly bad or poorly acted and simply not scary, slasher movies filled with too much blood and gore, or girlfriend or boys gone bad movies with overt sexual content or the F-Word in every sentence. It was simply entertaining.

The mystery of what unfolds through the lead actress's covert investigation was well done and interesting. Her acting was fine. I have seen far worse acting in too many other movies passed off as "entertainment" today. My mantra here in IMDb is that I am SICK of preachy Hollywood political movies, SICK of teenage "coming of age" nonsense (exception, "13 Reasons Why" on Netflix which is the first 10 star teenage show I have seen in years) or political commentaries by the Obama-owned Netflix. I am one of those people SICK OF IMPEACHMENT TALKS and constant references to the despicable Trump in almost every show and movie made today. I am weary of it all. So, this movie had a good, cohesive story, an entertainment factor lacking in too many new movies, and yet somehow didn't slip into the Lifetime model of the same story, different characters.

It's a nice mystery that was quite good and refreshing considering what is being offered by the "entertainment industry" on the whole today. I recommend this movie! Don't overthink it. Just enjoy it!

What an odd movie. Sofia, the lead character, has to be the most annoying character ever. You are supposed to believe she is a dedicated, top notch investigator. But in reality, she's a workaholic, meddling, busy body that assumes everything is a conspiracy and will go to whatever lengths to prove she is right, no matter how unethical or illegal. If this were a true story, she would have been fired and/or arrested 30 minutes into the movie. The movie had potential but it goes woefully off track. Another Netflix special that is best avoided.

The story-line and execution of that story-line are okay. It's an average sort of mystery/conspiracy. BUT, the political correctness is so out of control. We have way too many homosexuals presented in this movie. Way out of proportion to real life. I have gay friends, but not MOST of my friends are gay. I don't care if you happen to be gay, but I don't need to have "gays are great" shoved in my face when I watch a movie. I also have Muslim friends. But NOT ALL of my friends are Muslims. And I don't need "Muslims are Great" shoved in my face when I'm watching a movie. Sad to day, but many of the terrorists active today are Muslim, or at least claim to be Muslim. I imagine there are mimes out there who are terrorists, too. And probably clowns. And a nun here or there. But jeez, can a movie just be a movie and not have a political agenda?

This movie could have been a good movie except for the bashing of men and the ridiculous, obsessive female lead. What a complete waste of an hour and a half.
