Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

bdeville-1 This is another excellent Martin Scheen movie. Good work seems to follow him around like a puppy wanting love. The plot, the story line all mesh well.One small technical error. The exterior of the airplane as well as the script, call it a 737 (That is Boeing 737), but in fact the cockpit scenes show it to be a Boeing 727. The 727 has a crew of three and three engines. The 737 is smaller has two engines and no flight engineer station. Admittely a small detail, but important to those of us that have spent more than thirty seconds in an airplane.However it does not detract from the movie. If you like techno thrillers, this is for you. Tom Clancy fans will love it.Bruce Deville

Philip Van der Veken I'm still wondering what made me decide to watch this movie. Just by reading the title, I already had my doubts about the fact whether this would a movie for me or not. But on the other hand, I've also been surprised by several movies that I believed to be awful and that actually were very good. Anyway, I kept an open mind towards it and gave it a try, hoping for the best ... which never really came.Because he is still furious about the fact that his wife Vivian has left him and because the government has stopped the project he was working on, the crazy nuclear scientist Rogers Henry has been working on a gruesome plan to take revenge on everyone who he hates. He has continued the development of Medusa, a thermonuclear bomb capable of generating a continent-sized electro-magnetic pulse, capable of effectively destroying a computer-based society like the USA. He asks Vivian to accompany a transport with a 'prototype' of the bomb to the Pentagon. In reality it's a full working bomb, that will detonate in the middle of the Pentagon and that has been rigged so it will explode before its count-down if Vivian's pacemaker isn't within fifteen feet of it. But the crew of the airplane has discovered the horrible plan in time and the entire situation gives them only two options: either they try to cope with the situation themselves, either they die together with the bomb. All they know for sure is that they will have to save as many people as possible...If you are a fan of the average action movie, than I'm sure that you'll love it, no doubt about that. But when you are, like me for instance, not such a fan of these movies, than you'll find it quite annoying. Annoying, not only because the acting isn't worth all that much, but also because the story is far from original and to be honest very unbelievable. And to make things worse: It uses about every possible cliché a movie in this genre can have. A mad scientist; the foolish military leaders who will do everything to get the bomb, even if that means that many people will die; an honest president;... You'll not be spared of any of them.I know that there are many people who like this movie and that's fine by me. As I already said, if you are a fan action movies: watch and enjoy, you'll love it. But when you aren't all that keen on action movies, than I suggest you leave it alone and try to find something else. I should have picked the second option, although I must admit that it wasn't even the worst I've ever seen. I give this movie a 5.5/10.

chrnaess Medusas Child reminded me of why i watch movies in the first place, after so many mediocre and boring movies, this one was really quite special. Director Larry Shaw and everyone in the crew set a standard for those big time directors who surely are beaten by this superior thriller.The film had everything to offer, great suspense and intensity all throughout the 2h50min. It had fine performances from it`s entire cast, Spano, Sheen and Loughlin was especially fine and so was the extremely beautiful Gail 0`Grady, her beauty shines every time.This film is so good all the way through it surpasses Executive Decision(1996) in every aspect and I think that is a superior film as well.

id247 Nice to see a tv movie that can actually generate suspense and tension rather than make you reach for the remote in boredom.Some decent acting, plenty of sharp dialogue, with kudos to Chris Noth, Martin Sheen and Vincent Spano.I don't generally give tv movies the time of day, but this grabbed my interest and held me there for three hours solid. It was great to see it all in one go with no commercial breaks, the time really did fly by - pardon the pun!Despite one or two moments that stretch the plausibility factor, if you like a good political thriller, this is definitely worthy of your time.
