ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
HollyWierdo A C5 transporter is taking off from Adana, Turkey. The tower instructs the pilot, "Report skies are cloudy at Diego Garcia and clear all the way to California. Airborn refueling with your tanker at 2200 hours over Borneo." Why Borneo? The shortest route from Turkey to California is over northern Greenland---about 7,300 miles. Even avoiding the airspace of the former Soviet Union it is less than 7,500 miles. By way of Borneo, the trip is about 13,600 miles.After being denied fuel by hijackers, the pilot is forced to reset her course as dictated by the lead hijacker: "The new heading: 3 6 degrees south, 4 5 west." Is that some new fangled way of giving a compass heading, or is it a destination off the coast of Uruguay? A short time later, the plane is over the northern coast of Australia. Given the light load (about 1/4 capacity), a C5's range is about 6140 between refuelings. It can barely reach Borneo; a detour to Australia would be more than a thousand miles beyond its range.As for walking away from landing an f117 within walking distance of an arbitrarily chosen spot in North Australia, come on!!!!!!!!!
dj_bassett "Die Hard on a plane" and a pretty good example of it, far better than other, higher-budgeted cracks at the same storyline. The plot more or less makes sense, which is important in this kind of movie but too often is quite rare. The acting is nicely low-key (except for Jurgen Prochnow, embarrassing himself and positively licking his chops as the head bad guy). The fights are extremely well choreographed and make imaginative use of the setting -- which is not typical of other efforts at this same thing. As a sort of extra-bonus, there's some extremely effective aerial photography, and some nice aerial combat sequences which manage not to be boring, a difficult feat. Recommended, a nice B-movie sleeper.
ep.com Hey, who would have thought, this movie is actually pretty good and fun to watch. Performances are good all around, too, especially Prochnow as the main bad guy (it's definitely a bit of a typecast, but hey, he's cool). And it's really nice to see Andrew Divoff playing the role of the hero for one time. The budget wasn't that high and you can see this on the screen, but a high budget doesn't guarantee a good movie ("Air Force One" anyone...?). This one's alright, watch it.
degracia I first saw "Interceptor" when it was shown on TV as part of non-stop, pro-military/pro-veteran movie marathon on the 4th of July, which I personally think, given the nature of this film, was in entirely bad taste. (Is there some reason why practically every movie that features the F-117 comes out cheesy? It's the most popular aircraft in cheesy movies to be blown up, stolen, modified, etc.) Basically the plot is simple: a bunch of fanatical terrorists have a chance to steal two special F-117s with a unique guidance system and aerial-deployable folding wings. The whole movie is packed with people being killed in strange and unusual ways. While violence is a key part of your modern action genre, "Interceptor" has a strange way of making all the violence in the film seem tacky or purely gratuitous. Aside from that, "Interceptor" is thin in story and plot, with has little espionage intrigue to offer.
