3/10
Mind-numbingly dumb
2 February 2001
I read a comment describing this film as "a guys flick". Well, since I'm a "guy" and most viewers seem to agree with me, I must say that the "guy" who wrote this was giving the film way too much credit. This film has some of the dumbest dialogue ever spoken out on screen. I won't repeat it here, I guess you better watch the film to get the picture. Or even better: don't watch it, if you don't want to waste your time. Whatever this film is supposed to be, it's nowhere close to the facts. The pilots scream out really really stupid oneliners (if you can even call them that) and seem to mean it too. Somewhere between those lines the Brad Johnson character even quotes Lord Tennyson! Did they really think that would make a more intelligent character out of him? Well, whatever, but this films is so stupid and one-dimensional that it's really hard sitting through it. I guess it must have been even harder for actors like William Defoe and Danny Glover to make this film. A true waste of time. 3/10 (and watch out for "Friend" David Schwimmer!)
