This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The acting,the effects,the plot basically all of the movie was horrible.The F-14 who can't take down a simple Concorde,the stupid lines,the fact that fuel is leaking from the end of the plain where the baggage compartment is and so on,an so on.There was the sexy role of Shannon Whirry which brightens up the movie a little bid.There is also Brian Bosworth who is playing a Michael Dudikoff type of hero who is going to save everybody and he sucked as the hole movie if you ask me.But hey if there are movies like that young actors can find work.And it was a super commercial for the Concorde too.
With a stream of famous names and faces one would think that this would be a great film. Having watched this garbage I have come to the conclusion that none of the actors actually read the script before shooting began. Cliché after cliché after cliché. This produces wooden performances from some names that should know better.
I am sure their accountants were happy when they paid their cheques into the bank, but anyone who bought/rented this on DVD will feel that their money could have been better spent on a tin of paint. They could have occupied themselves watching the paint dry and would have felt more fulfilled.
DVD and obscure cable/satellite channels will use this trash to fill out their schedules.
My advice ... buy the paint. At least you get a choice of colour.

I still am mad at myself as to why did i chose to rent this movie in the first place. Pathetic is written all over the movie and i still failed to see it......hope time will heal my wounds! If you are planning to watch this one i would suggest there are other better movies out there.
i bought this movie thinking that the movie was going to be better than great but i was proven really wrong! first this movies is fake above all secondly it copies Airport 79, the Concorde far much better this piece of crap, and even actually it takes scenes from airport 79 and put it into the movie this people are so cheapo that they can't afford a piece of set for a day! worst movie ever! plus supposibly they took off from washington dc and it showed palm trees! well they filmed it in pacoima or burbank or something and they had porn star as the air traffic controller that i know because of the funny film commentary the only good thing about this movie. so please don't watch i only watch this movie with the movie commentary.
An unexpectedly good movie that could have benefited a lot from a larger budget. Miniatures are used in the shots of the Concorde, and it shows. It was rated R for violence, though it had less violence than most TV shows. Profanity throughout was unnecessary and could have been edited out. Brian Bosworth does an adequate job as the Air Force officer who gets called on when anything goes wrong. Michael Dorn shines in a non-Worf role that shows he can play someone else other than a Trek character. David Hedison is great as the U.S. Senator and is the only actor to look like he was actually walking on a a real plane. Shannon Whirry, who plays his political assistant, shows that she can handle an action role. Best of all are the scenes with the NSA agents.
