Air Strike (2003)

Best movie ever!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I am watching this crap of film on TV and can not believe that some American film company can make this kind of film.Bad scenes of action,film with name "Air strike" without ANY real action war scene with helies?Even uniforms doesn't look like American!!Action is placed in imagined country name Petrovia?!What???Same animated scenes of helicopters in battle repeated several times...This film is insult for intelligence of average person.I really would like to see the budget for this film and how much money did it earned.I am still so shocked that I caught myself in serious thinking to contact the director or writer of screenplay,or even company which made this film with kindliest ask:Don't make this rubbish anymore!!!!Please!!!

Some films are good, some are so bad they are funny, then there is this film. There is a circle of hell reserved just for producers of this type of formulaic, hammy-acted, badly scripted and badly filmed detritus.In no particular order, my favourite moments were:* Garret picking up two AK47s and then walking slowly, shooting from the hip with both weapons and wiping out scores of enemies who are all camouflaged and taking cover. * The guy who, when a building explodes somewhere near him, appears to jump pointlessly out of his watchtower, crying out. I don't know why he was wearing camouflage paint on his face when he was in a watchtower, maybe it was to hide the fact that it was Christiano Ronaldo brought in specially for the theatrical dive. * The stock footage of helicopters firing missiles used repeatedly, just different helicopters from the ones they showed taking off.* Garret shooting someone and saying "suck on this". Really?* Garret and Charlie engaging in phone sex over the radio ("I've got wood") while a team of Rangers is trying to extract him from a hot zone.My biggest complaints, though, are reserved for IMDb. Why has the site allowed people to rate it more than 1? The average rating of 2.5 is far, far too high. In fact, why does IMDb have a minimum rating of 1 star? To give this 1 star is like polishing a turd.

I believe this is a major accomplishment by Hollywood. The first widely distributed commercial movie directed and written entirely by 12 year olds.The clichés are overwhelming, the editing seems to have been done by a lazy slob - especially apparent during a scene where top army brass watch a helicopter goes down on his monitor screen - who the heck was the stupid jerk holding a camera 50 feet from a battle helicopter in a jungle during combat? Last words: if Americans really do act the way they are portrayed in this movie, it is no wonder that many hate them so much.

Sometimes movies about the military are so bad it makes me want to put on a turban, this is one of them. Air Strike is a story of how a US Air Force team loses two great pilots on a mission and spends the rest of the movie bombing the shyt out of the drug cartel responsible.Every cliché you can think of is in this movie. Guy's brother dies so he comes out of retirement to take his place (even though he hasn't flown in years and can just simply hop a plane) and avenge him, female pilot gets heckled for being a female and calls them on it, guy falls in love with female and everyone sees it coming, and my favorite....guy breaks out of prison and proceeds to take out 30 guys single handedly armed with barely anything.The movie has some decent flight patterns from the different type of planes, but the overall part is so horrible that not even the actual air strikes within the movie could wake the crowd up. Lastly, I din't know knocking off drug cartels was a major accomplishment, so why did they chant USA! USA! at the end? I don't see police officers chanting USA after giving someone a speeding ticket. That mission was purely personal and no one was going to read about it so why make it seemed like they dropped the A bomb on Hiroshima? There are no highlights to this movie, that's how bad it is....1 out of 10
