simply put -- awful!! I am an Air Traffic Controller and, although I tried to overlook the many terrible inaccuracies with regard to my profession, this movie is still putrid, predictable and poor.

caution possible turbulence...

as an air traffic controller I was very interested in this movie both as entertainment and how my profession would be viewed. While I enjoyed the operational segments of the movie and how controllers are portrayed as type A thrill junkies (not that far off) the second half of the film was slow and predictable and the ending was absolutely awful. Billy Bob once more showed his skill and his performance was the highlight of the film.

A Night at the Roxbury (1998)

'tis a far sadder thing...

what a painful experience. Perhaps some 5 minute SNL skits can be converted to the big screen (Blues Brothers, Coneheads) but this trash was pure agony.
