Airborne

This film suffers horrendously from its direction "Julian Grant" , and its incompetent lead, Steve Guttenberg, who's putting a solid effort to win a Bruce Willis look-alike contest! The writing is reckless Hollywood action thriller; Sean Bean --whose one of my favorites-- David Fraser, and Kim Coates give a decent performance. The film is definitely below average. 3 out of 10! I wonder what Hollywood studios thought, actually giving the go ahead, to weak director such as Grant. And I'd say to Sean Bean "what were you thinking even considering participating in a film like this, after such great films like GoldenEye, Ronin, and Patriot Games!

This is one of the best comedies ever to be put on video, the trouble is, 'Airborne' is not meant as a comedy. Its meant as a one of those high octane, action thrillers with plot twists around every corner. I cant even begin to describe how bad the acting is in this one. The only person who comes out with any kind of credibility is Kim Coates who, as always, is excellant. The rest of the cast, Im afraid, are nothing short of dreadful. Especially Steve Guttenberg. I've always thought he was a terrible actor and his performance in this one proves it. His facail expression never changes throughout. This film is a pretty dire effort.

A cut above from the usual straight to video actioneer, Airborne has enough in the tank to keep it going for the full 90 minutes, although you can't help but think of how low former '80's comedy golden boy Steve Guttenburg has stooped to be in such a cheap production (and playing a hard man too!). The plot is simple, the baddies have stolen a deadly virus and Guttenburg and the rest of his goodie pals are sent to retrieve it, Not bad of its kind but not in the same league (obviously) as the films it is compared too on the cover such as AIR FORCE ONE and CON AIR. The cast is good though, with Sean Bean reprising his Brit.-bad guy character which we have had a glimpse of in such box office smashes as GOLDENEYE and PATRIOT GAMES.

I saw this movie for free during Toronto's FantAsia '98 Festival, and I wanted my money back. The director was present (and was in fact was one of the organizers of FantAsia) and someone asked him, after the film, if he had a hat full of cliches that he picked from to make the film. This film is BAD. It's worse than Highlander 2. It has NO redeeming features whatsoever. Cliche after cliche. Avoid at all possible costs. There is nothing to see here. Please move along.

Pathetic action film which tries too hard to be all action and ends up way too much in bad movie terrotory throwing up cliche after cliche...

I mean, Guttenburg with his mandotory unshaven look speaks softly and roughly - I couldn't stop laughing nor take him seriousily. His facial expressions hardly change, if ever.

Sean Bean of Sharpe fame is okay in this but he isn't in the film enough and the rest of the film fails to grab my attention at all.

Overall: 0/10
