What makes it different from others?

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The acting,the effects,the plot basically all of the movie was horrible.The F-14 who can't take down a simple Concorde,the stupid lines,the fact that fuel is leaking from the end of the plain where the baggage compartment is and so on,an so on.There was the sexy role of Shannon Whirry which brightens up the movie a little bid.There is also Brian Bosworth who is playing a Michael Dudikoff type of hero who is going to save everybody and he sucked as the hole movie if you ask me.But hey if there are movies like that young actors can find work.And it was a super commercial for the Concorde too.

Where am I supposed to start with this movie? I seriously have no idea. Okay, so it's a typical US-made TV production and as it appears, all TV directors have made an agreement to produce such nonsense. Actors with average performance are put into what is supposed to be a Concorde supersonic aircraft and are taken hostage by Secret Service agents on behalf of a president and vice president who is supporting the war in the Balcan to have his economy prosper. Well, let's have a look at the aircraft. Okay, it's been a while that I have seen the insides of a Concorde, but what they are showing here has no resemblance whatsoever with the aircraft. Some scenes with F-14 Tomcats are taken from "Top Gun" and all in all, you can see that the budget ended before they could actually do some action scenes. Produced in 2001, this movie contains mainly very old scenes in the outdoor shots, so that they also were able to use car chases and a car crash from an old European spy movie. That one gave me a really good laugh. Before indulging too much into all the details here, let me just say that I was really surprised to find that at the Paris Airport they were using US-made ambulances. While that actually is possible, I was even more surprised to find that they also had US number plates on them.Forgive me for being a bit sarcastic, but such movies really spoil the joy of watching TV. It's not necessarily in the plot or the actors, but it's the details.The plot behind "Mach 2" in principle is good and the different threads could make for three different movies. A aircraft hijack, a presidential intrigue and an international spy connection. However, they gallantly left out anything that would have made this movie "intellectually challenging".

1st watched 4/4/2001 - 4 out of 10(Dir-Fred Olen Ray): ok movie, with ok acting, and ok action, and ok story. This type of movie has been done before with much more intensity with some of the same things done that are supposed to bring up the tension(Aka. Person flying the plane at the climatic end of movie has never flown before), corrupt politicians at the top (Aka. President Cliff Richardson) with gung-ho save-all action hero(Aka. Brian Bosworth), and weak love interest(Aka. Sharron Whirry). Lame attempt to recycle.

Overall a pretty good movie with surprisingly a lot of stars. The Boz gives a pretty good performance in this action movie. Some corny lines here and there, but written pretty well. There were even scenes taken from Concorde 77, the one with George Kennedy! I am not kidding! There are some great fight scenes and The Boz kicks some butt. If you are a Boz fan or action movie fan, you should like it. No Oscars are going to be won here, but the Boz lives on!
