97 minuti

I was hopeful at the start, because I was really into an action packed disaster movie, but from the very start I expected troubles ahead...

The bad: this movie is cheaply made and one can tell, Everything from the leading credits, to the sound, to the photography, all these technical aspects are way below average. It's quite cringeworthy to watch these cheap special effects, it's as if we are watching a seventies disaster movie, with lots of ridiculous fake effects.

More bad: what's even worse though is that the many supporting actors unintentionally are becoming a laughing stock, by the really terrible, yet funny way they (try) to act.

And as the final blow this movie simply never ever achieves to thrill for one mere second.

Not any good then? It's absolutely a new low for Alec Baldwin, who is starring in this disastrous flick. Although I must admit his performance was still kinda convincing, because he is still a good actor, running on lower ground though...

Seemed like a high school project. Not worth the time. Bad acting matched with low quality CGI. Its disappointing to see Hollywood heavy hitter Alec Baldwin participating in such low quality production. What I don't understand is why so many people would try and be a part of something that requires so much time and logistics to put together but put so less effort on making it work. Sad thing is I probably put more effort into writing this review than the producers put into making this film. Also, it would be nice if they didn't put fake ratings on movies like these to trick people into watching them.

Short and to the point: there was so much potential that it is baffling how this movie turned out the way it did. Everything you have seen about plane movies is here, just used in the most un-creative way possible. It is a complete mess. Feels like a first year film school project. The fighting sequences look as if they were rehearsing, the plot predictable and full of cliches, even the VFX is so clean that it looks fake. It will leave you wondering about many things; especially how this mess was green lit to be made and then to be released. Frankly, Snakes on a Plane was better than this and you know how bad that was. Steer clear of this bomb of a movie.

If you could concoct a film that denied you all facts, that could relay a story in disjointed acts, where the edits and acting were cobbled and crude, where the outcomes can't be more distorted and skewed; then sit down, buckle up, as you're in for a ride, watch a plane that's been crippled, without effort just glide, listen in behind doors that can catch all you whisper, it's not long that you think they've all had a good snifter (the writers must have been three sheets at least); be afraid for the money that's been spent of defences, as tugging on wires can outfox all their senses (sight unseen!), be afraid, really worry, you might raise a red flag, if you meet terrorists, with a magical bag, out of which they can conjure an old Russian bomb, and deploy it like they're, in your favourite sitcom.

Another low budget direct to streaming fake action thriller with a washed up former star (Baldwin) appearing for a glorified cameo, and a no name lead doing his best to carry a film weighed down by an abysmal script and amateur direction.

There hasn't been a plane thriller for a while now. The genre had its heyday in the late 90s with Passenger 57, Executive Decision, Con Air, Air Force One, Turbulence and finally had a small revival with Red Eye, Flightplan and Snakes on a Plane. If you enjoyed those, don't get your hopes up. This is bottom of the barrel junk, murkily lit to hide the budget limitations, badly paced and with plot holes big enough to fly a 747 through.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers must be in dire need of cash. This is the second low budget junk movie with him released in a month. He's not the worst actor out there, but I'm not sure he can carry a film. At least not one of this quality, but then again who could.

Alec Baldwin... well we know why he'll take any paycheck he can get now. I think the graphic artist doesn't like him very much. They wisely changed the poster for IMDB, but google the main cover the film, and you will see a hilariously bad photoshop of Baldwin that looks like some grade school kid just figured out the skin smoothing effect on photoshop for the first time. Normally his agent (if he still has one) should have cought that before it went public. But as with most of these direct to streaming movies, no one gives a damn about anything.

If you value your time at all, you'll find a better film to watch.
