Critics Consensus

Loud, preposterous, and predictable, Stealth borrows heavily and unsucessfully from Top Gun and 2001.

Neil Smith

BBC.com

Full of explosive mayhem and pulse-quickening aerial combat, this high-flying action romp offers polished, if derivative entertainment.

Rated: 3/5

If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?

Ebert & Roeper

Cohen undermines his own effort to make a 21st century Top Gun by using so many quick cuts and zooms that we can't even appreciate the action sequences. I almost got motion sickness.

...a crude Jerry Bruckheimer knock-off with a laughably insipid script...

Neither entertaining nor exciting, the dumb and noisy Stealth will hopefully live up to its name by fading quietly from movie theaters.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Can't believe this has such a low score. Watched every few years for pretty much my entire life and is still worth the watch. Definitely not winning any awards but it's an entertaining film. Good action. Flying scenes are done well and the ai portrayal was ahead of its time. Actually close to what AI is becomming in 2025. It's currently on Pluto TV for free.

It is in no way one of great movies of all time but it is an interesting to watch action flick with some ahead-of-its-time references and interactions with AI. Overall, an enjoyable guilty pleasure that's worth a watch.

Watchable, though predictable. AI parts have aged well and aren’t actually silly at all. Couldn’t predict the ending, however, because it was silly. AI airplane with plenty of ammo left deliberately collided with a dumb Mi-8 of DPRK. Why?

Such a great fighter movie, too far ahead of it's time for critics. Superb war fighting action, and some great points we're now genuinely looking at. Only people that don't like this movie are either on the other side, or g.
