Vôo 816 - Psicopata a Bordo

Watch "Code 11-14" only if it airs on cable. The first half of the movie is very entertaining and develops some interesting situations but then it becomes predictable and dull.

After some dumb situations (like leaving Johnny alone in his seat while a serial killer is chasing his parents...) I had to repeat to myself "don't get angry, it's only a movie, it has to have exaggerated situations. But come on, sometimes it looks like the script was improvised.

Anyways, the movie offers some good scenes and has likable characters. Don't expect too much from this. Nowhere near to be a mess but neither a good movie.

Only for lovers of detective movies.

The talents of David James Elliott and his charms were muted. This project has relentless cliches and has less satisfying results. It was cheesy and thrillerless. The characters from the wife and his agent partner view them as fossils and merits shaking our heads. For good FBI,CIA shows I highly recommend "Without a Trace","24" "MI-5" or even "Alias". I will take any "Xfiles" episodes than this. Here's another theory: CBS delayed this TV project not due to 9-11,the real reason they put this behind because its a dud.

The movie opens with a pretty woman in a large house running from an unseen assailant. The investigation of what happened includes the FBI because clues point to a serial killer. Agent Kurt Novack receives a call from a mystery man on his cell phone. Then he goes home to his wife and son.

The killer strikes again. Then a strange thing happens: he apparently shows up in Australia. Novack has to fly to Sydney, and he brings his family. Big mistake! While Novack helps question a suspect, his family has fun near the Opera House. Novack doesn't believe the right man has been arrested, but the Australians are confident.

When the time comes to fly home, Novack's family has been put on a different plane, but at least they're in first class, at no extra charge. One passenger is late, so the plane doesn't take off right away. Novack's wife gets a mysterious gift which indicates the killer may be involved. Then Novack gets another phone call from the mystery man! And there is more: his wife and son know something he doesn't.

The second half of the movie has a lot of tension and suspense, and the excitement level gradually increases until we finally reach a frightening climax. Novack questions several people and manages to go overboard with most of them (not particularly realistic, but entertaining). On the ground in the United States, the FBI searches for clues.

I enjoyed this movie. Personally, I would have hoped for a little more of the excitement, but the mystery was still interesting. Otherworldly music added to the scary parts. One woman who was held prisoner really came across as terrified, but I didn't catch her name. And the mystery voice was quite well done--whoever it was!

I decided to see this after reading a review stating that "it was a great movie". IT WAS NOT! Nothing about it was worth seeing. I lost 85 minutes of my life. Bad acting, bad story, bad script, bad everything. Whooa a serial killer on an aeroplane; what an original and new twist - NOT!

I watched this movie for a couple of reasons. 1. David James Elliot 2. The review was good 3. Nothing else worth watching.

After watching it, I thought it was quite enjoyable, particulary towards the end.

A couple of faults with the movie though, on being with Terry the wife being too annoying and to many 'As if" situations such as as if you would leave your son alone while there's a serial killer after you and your family. It was also pretty predictbale towards the end to guess the killer, even though you may have suspected others that are brought into the story.

Not bad for an afternoon's viewing though.
