Such a frustrating disappointment
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Even though I didn't really care for this movie, I'm shocked that it has a rating of 3.The people who rated this must usually only watch the greatest movies ever made because the average movie I see is much worse. My only real problem with this movie is that it was very predictable.I saw everything coming, including the end.I also didn't care for the love story angle.Why does every movie have to have a love story? It's really strange that Treat Williams is billed as the star because he literally has the smallest part in the movie.When he finally shows up, an hour in, he tries to make a bunch of jokes and some of them are actually funny.Up until he gets there we are treated to a very stereotypical opening where a bunch of self-consumed, spoiled people somehow all end up on the same chartered flight.Of course it crashes and it wouldn't be a movie if they didn't all split up.It's really not bad for this type of movie.I give it five stars.
I'm a huge Treat Williams fan but I have to say... this movie sucked. The acting really wasn't bad, I don't blame the actors at all. But all in all the summary leads you to believe that Treat Williams is the hero and he gets involved like no other when in all reality, it's almost shot like there's 5 different stories going on at the same time. It was really hard to enjoy this, a couple of the jokes were pretty good and you can enjoy SOME of the dialogue but for the most part.. this movie was a bit of a joke. If it had been edited much better and perhaps if there was a bit more to the relationship between Agent Jason and Nadia it COULD have passed for an okay movie. Some of the scenes look like they were ripped off some other movie too.. not pleased.
I like Jay Andrews/Jim Wynorski movies simply because they give you a lot of cheesy bang for the buck; they're like TV movies without the good stuff being censored out. I like his whatever-it-takes attitude and give him credit for putting in the long hours it must take to pump out these features. I'll bet there's a lot of headaches involved in obtaining the stock footage, too (I'd love to hear some in-depth stories about how he manages that)! His crew, particularly director-of-photography Andrea Risotto, deserve kudos for giving these pictures a nice "clean", professional look. True guilty pleasures, I always look forward to the next Jay Andrews DVD and generally will sit through the commentary tracks, too!
1st watched 4/20/2002 - 2 out of 10(Dir-Jay Andrews): Bizarre, idiotic story-line is the first problem with this movie. I hate it when the box description on a video is totally wrong. It states that a chemical is being carried on a plane that crashes into a mountain and causes havoc, the Blockbuster description says it's carrying the world's deadliest explosives. Guess what, both are wrong. What is being carried on the plane is a scientific devise invented back in the early 1900's that basically takes a person's thoughts to create atomic-like destruction. Now beginning with that, can you really make a good movie?? Treat Williams tries to add humor to an otherwise way too serious treatment of a silly story. We get to see some old time TV stars make a little money, but other than that what a waste of my time & money(if you paid to rent this film - mine happened to be a freebie, but what a waste of a freebie). Oh well, the next one has got to be better than this loser.
