I´ve had the novel "Flight of the Intruder" in my bookshelf for years and when I saw the DVD in local store it didn´t take me long to purchase it. Not very clever move.
If you haven´t read the book this film might entertain you; it has some action, flying-scenes, and couple of well-known actors from other films(eg. Dafoe and Glover). If you read the book first like I did and enjoyed it, I doubt that this movie will satisfy you. I understand that filming a novel is no easy task and directors have to take shortcuts sometimes to keep the movie in decent running-time. What I don´t understand is mixing plot somewhat completely, changing characters to just barely familiar compared to novel and leaving out important happenings. So, big disappointment for me. I recommend everyone who hasn´t read the book to read it and those who read to book and haven´t seen the film to borrow it from somewhere instead of buying it.
