Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Andrea BeachAir-traffic control drama has lots of tension, profanity.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 6/10 by John LeonardSmartly cast and scary stuff-but I could swear I've seen it before. Not something like it, but this exact movie. Help!
User Review - 10/10 by Majken BA both fast and interesting film of the lifes and troubles of the flight controllers. You really sense the drama and the tension between Robert Sean Leonard's on top of his game character and Kiether Sutherland's struggling Jack.
User Review - 10/10 by Boris MGreat movie. It shows what is life and work of a fkight conntroler like.
User Review - 8/10 by Denise BA cheep, probably made for TV movie. Sounds dodgy, however i loved it. I'm not sure why, it's cheesy and some of the acting is not great however it really worked for me. It's one of those films that i can put on in any mood. Im Glad Kiefer has hit the big time again, he deserves it
User Review - 6/10 by Nick MIt's okay considering the premise. I'd definitely recommend it for a loose, fun ride.
User Review - 6/10 by Private UIt cost me £1, and it was a good £1. It looks cheap; it sounds cheap; it's got no tension, no humour, but it makes up for it in good old fashioned.... something.
User Review - 6/10 by Martin DSurprisingly taut and claustrophobic thriller. The script isn't always the best, but the good cast and confident direction pull it through.
User Review - 6/10 by Nathanael JWow. 1998? Really? This looks like a made for TV right out of the late 80's. Not terrible though.
User Review - 6/10 by Carl MIt's full of the cliches, the ex-pro who's fallen off the band wagon, his old comrad who forces him back to the very nightmare he's been trying to escape from, the young smarmy arrogant hot-shot who learns to be a real person, a tight-ass bean counter worried about if it "looks good"... I think the only redeeming feature about this film was Kristy Swanson. However, she was given a minor role, and made to look like a dork (all thanks to those glasses, should have gone to specsavers!). I don't even know why her part existed, as it served no purpose in the story, but I suppose some eye candy was useful to this film! There were a numerous "miracles", like the 24/7 computer parts shop, which manages to have a replacement board for a computer built in 1734; and an aeroplane with an apparent auto-repair feature. That said, it's a nice tribute to the air traffic controllers. I believe the job is very stressful, and if you had to deal with the stuff that went on in this film, you'd be stressed too! All in all, you could spend your hour and half doing something better (like watching The Crow, The Labyrinth, or Battle Royal), but you could do plenty worse
