Crash Point Zero

Oh yikes - what an howler. Treat Williams must have had a tax bill to pay when he agreed to participate in this nonsense. It begins with some high-altitude antics as a dangerous weapon is being hijacked from one plane to another; one blows up, the other crashes and the survivors must combat pursuing creatures - human and ursine - as well as the weather. The whole thing looks as it was filmed in a snow-globe; the effects are shocking as is the script and after about twenty minutes, I really did pray for the much feared avalanche to put either them, or me, out of the misery this poorly conceived adventure delivered. For an action film, it starts off predictably and implausibly and really goes nowhere fast. The acting is fourth-grade drama school standard and the over-scoring tries desperately to inject some semblance of jeopardy or menace into what is basically just a witheringly dull film.

Stop me if you've heard this....we have a machine capable of mass destruction. The trigger for this machine is simply to put on a set of headphones and "think mass destruction thoughts". The machine fits perfectly inside a small wooden box - just the right size for carry-on luggage.

I am a sucker for formula movies. Just love 'em. This movie is a mix of Cliffhanger, Air Force One, Broken Arrow, and last, but not least, The Long Kiss Goodnight - my all time favorite formula movie.

Speaking of The Long Kiss Goodnight, the entire climax of this film from the black 18-wheeler tanker to the explosion of the Canadian-US border is nearly an exact copy of that film. Frame for frame, it's a pitiful ripoff.

This movie doesn't deserve any stars at all.

This movie is an outright fraud. It simply splices in footage of the films, "Cliffhanger"(Sylvester Stallone), "Narrow Margin"(Gene Hackman), and "Long Kiss Goodnight"(Gena Davis). This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. How it managed to get a 5.7 rating I don't understand. I am taking this back to Blockbuster and demand my rental fee back. Has anyone ever seen this done in another film?

I actually liked this film up to the "long kiss goodnight" climax which was not just a rip off it was the exact same footage from driving through the christmas parade to the truck exploding with the exception of the close up's of the stars of this film. (its not hard to tell the difference between a mid '90's ford and a 2000 oldsmobile). I cant say dont watch it but if you go for low budget crap that looks like high budget then it is watchable.

Just wanted to add to the comment by Bailey-21(Alabama)...

who said "the entire climax of this... is nearly an exact copy of that film (Long Kiss). Frame for frame, it's a pitiful ripoff."

If you look at this scene 'Frame by frame', you can actually SEE Geena Davis standing by the truck! this is the SAME FOOTAGE!

I wonder if both films were made by the same studio, and they ran out of money on this one, or if this is even legal!

I felt Ripped Off!
