Impacto

Under no circumstances take this movie seriously! Expect to laugh - a lot. If you hold onto this frame of mind (tightly), this movie is actually pretty cool.

It's the oldie but goodie plotline - bad guy transported on commercial airliner gets free of inept captors and takes entire plane hostage.

My, my, my. How I giggled! Everything from Michael Harris' sarcasm; James Russo's scarily eerie ability to seemingly go for long stretches of time without blinking; the hole in the cockpit; every stray bullet's attraction to the cockpit.... was it intentionally amusing? I think not. Is Ice-T's acting shocking? It is. Is the movie worth watching? Oh yes. :::snigger:::

I guess what amazes me the most is how poor a job the director did in editing and continuity of this film. It's bad enough that they used so much inflight footage of the "Airport 75" classic movie, but there are so many disconnects, it's screwy. First, the plane was supposed to make an emergency landing in San Bernadino or somewhere, when it was actually Salt Lake City. The airport scenes there showed the airfield from way back in the early 1970s, so it's not too close to the actual time frame of the movie at all. The crash/fire/rescue trucks even said "Salt Lake City Fire Department" on them. Then, the medical personnel on the plane after it landed had jumpsuits that said "Los Angeles City Fire Department EMS" on them.

The cockpit scenes showed a 3-engine plane's controls, when they were really flying in a 4-engine Boeing 747.

Oh, well, it was fun to watch anyway!

The name for this movie sounded pretty cool, so i was expecting to see a fairly decent movie. Oh was i wrong, i could have read the words "Sonic Impact" over and over again for 90 minutes and probably enjoy it more than the movie itself. This movie is among the worst movies i've seen in years. STAY AWAY.

This Movie was excellent great story great actors and great ending

Ive seen Turbulence and Passenger 57 and none of them compare to this movie Agent Nick Halton (James Russo) a former navy seal Has been tracking the Phychotic Killer Jeremy Barrett (Michael Harris) for 3 years he finnally catches him and Barrett is then transported and handed over to the FBI But when Barrett gets on the plane he Hijacks it and is threatning to crash the plane into a populated area its up to Nick to finish Jeremy barrett once and for all Ice T did a good job with his role even though it was not even a 45 minute roll Brittany Daniel also did a good job with her roll this movie also has some comedy in it that really made me laugh especially Michael Harris's character this is definetly a movie to see

all things considered this movie is pretty unremarkable.it has too many slow spots with nothing happening.then when there is some action,the scenes are way too long and protracted.it's your typical "nut job takes control of an airplane and the good guys try to regain control" movie.i also found it even less realistic than most movies of the genre.the dialogue was pretty lame too.the characters are your run of the mill characters for these types of movies.the acting wasn't great,either,though i did like Ice-T,who plays a federal agent in the movie.the runtime is about 94 minutes with end credits,but it sure felt a lot longer.the bottom line for me,this movie added nothing new to the genre and was certainly not as good as any of the other movies of the genre.if i were you,i would check out "Turbulence" Passenger 57",Executive "Decision" and "Con Air",which are all better examples of the genre.for me,Sonic Impact is a 4/10
