L'ultimo volo

I loved this movie so much as a kid, and that's the biggest reason why I gave it a higher rating. The movie does a great job with showing the life of a missionary and delivering a very clear gospel message that hits the heartstrings.

From normal movie standards, It's not very well filmed. It's not very well acted. The lines are a bit cringe in some areas. The people sound like they're saying lines. But the story is good. It's a great movie for the whole family. It's really enjoyable film if you're a christian. It's wholesome, clean and shows the life of a missionary. And it might have you in tears by the end.

Solid Christian movie. With a solid gospel message.

This movie moved me. Not because I am Christian (tho cannot lie that I am biased, but do try to be an objective reviewer on IMDB) but because this film reminded of the courage of people that do good things in bad places without concern for their personal safety.

Missionaries have been going into places in the middle of nowhere, subject to parasitical disease and paramilitaries, to help people otherwise long forgotten. This film is a testament to them, so right out of the box they get 7 points. I added a point for the cinematography, script and direction. Not to mention the beautiful Bobbie Phillips.

Standout for me was Dan, played by Richard Tyson. He played the role perfectly and was immensely likable as the tough guy who turns humbly to God when miracles happen.

In all honesty, Last Flight Out (great title, btw) is not worthy of a 10 as I have seen here, but even less worthy of the obviously low ratings than averaged this fine film out to barely over 5. Whenever there is a Christian themed movie, the trolls seem to appear out of nowhere and since the low scorers here did not bother to give a reason for said score via a review, you have to wonder if the only thing these people saw was Billy Graham as producer, not the actual movie.

Excellent family movie but it's so much more than that. This movie was put out by the Billy Graham ministry so there is definitely a message for viewers. If you are looking for something like great special effects you might be disappointed, but don't let that get in the way of what this story is really about. If you are searching spiritually then you must see this movie. If you are comfortable in the fact that you are a good person because you go to church then you REALLY must see this movie. This is one of the best and clearest presentations of the gospel you will ever see or hear.

This is the simple, unvarnished gospel message found in the Bible and it will speak to your heart.

Message Good Movie Bad cleaned up "Tears of the Sun" try being original

The movie tells the story of a bad-boy pilot living a life of shame and regret after a crash killed his best friend several years before and caused a breakup with his (presumably) girlfriend. He is in the "repo" business, repossessing aircraft from people who haven't paid up. The father of his ex-girlfriend comes by to ask him to fly down to Colombia and rescue her. She is a missionary-doctor in a remote village threatened by rebel guerrillas. He refuses at first, but after a walk on the beach he decides that he really is in love with her and heads off to rescue her.

Along the way to the remote village in Colombia, our bad-boy pilot comes across a very devout, missionary-doctor who finagles a ride with the pilot out to the remote village. It's at this point that the movie's agenda becomes very clear. This is not just a movie trying to tell a story about some missionaries, some villagers, and a pilot and their valiant struggle against rebel forces (ala Tears of the Sun). Instead it quickly turns into Christian propaganda bent at convincing the viewer of Christ's love.

The filmmakers could have made a movie and let the character's actions speak for themselves, but instead made a film that will alienate everyone who isn't already a "believer" with its overt, cult-like presentation. The movie is something that will undoubtedly be appreciated by Christian families and youth groups everywhere as an alternative to the rest of Hollywood movies that they will typically find so threatening. People who maintain the illusion that this movie will somehow show people the error of their ways and convince them to enter into a lifelong relationship with Jesus are only demonstrating just how ignorant they are.

I give this movie 6 stars because it has a good storyline, but it is weighed down by unnecessary scenes and dialog that detract from the story and only serve to draw things out needlessly. Having grown up as a missionary kid in Colombia, I have seen many movies like this. Last Flight Out definitely sets itself apart with the unusually high production values that show just how the Christian movie community is advancing. However, anyone who pretends this is a good movie by any worldwide standard is simply lying to himself. And everyone knows Jesus doesn't like lying.

The movie is unrated not because of any outlandish content, but presumably because it was not shown in theatres and is probably sold mostly in Christian bookstores which would make obtaining an MPAA rating an unnecessary expense.
