Can't stress this enough... this is awful

Do not give this movie even five minutes of your time. You will regret it I guarantee.

Plot in one sentence: A crew is blackmailed by a crime boss to steal the take from a sketchy high-stakes casino (the money) that is on a jet (the plane).

Aside from the novelty of seeing crime boss Kelsey Grammer doing a brief spin on Scarface there's nothing to recommend this movie.

EVERYTHING about it is awful. The story, the lame directing, the really really awful acting all round...

Somehow they managed to get Thomas Jane in this stinker... I figure the film makers must have some incriminating photos of him somewhere as enticement.

Avoid, avoid, avoid... you've been warned.

Well that's not exactly a glowing recommendation.

I was disappointed by the trailer. I knew from the premise and the cover art that it was going to be a cheap B-movie but I was hoping it would at least be a fun one.

I noticed the other day it's at Redbox. I may have to go ahead and check it out anyway, if just for the lulz.

Redbox is as far as I'm willing to go with this movie.

I think it falls into the 'so bad it's good' category... making it an (unintentional?) comedy.

It's one of those 'traffic-accident' type of movies:
you know it's terrible, but can't stop looking.

For a rating it's easily a 0/10.

But I don't regret having watched it.

The synopsis sounds horrible

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8824) 4 years ago

Really? You see, I think the synopsis sounds promising. But it seems the execution is very poor.

Hand the same premise to a better filmmaker though and it seems like a fun movie could result.

The you should make that movie

Among the many, many misguided efforts put into this mess is the fact that they take the ex-wrestler and they make him the pilot of the plane while his crew carries out the theft.

For the love of God, why would you take the guy most qualified to do action scenes and then stick him in the cockpit of the plane with nothing to do for much of the movie? The dude can't act to save his life... at least let him do what he does best.

(And, it's the fakest looking cockpit you're likely to see in a movie for a long while too.)

That's too bad. This sounds like it could had been awesome. Like Fast Five meets Con Air.
