Audience Member Colonel John Sykes and his men were sent to save hostages, but when everyone is dead, they go wild and massacre an entire village. They return home to be court-martialed but refuse to go quietly when General Harlan Prescott (Alex Cord, Airwolf) throws the literal book at them. Sykes and his men respond by taking a flight with Prescott hostage. Who can save them? Matt Marshall (Ice-T) for one. And air hostess Kelly Young (Kimberly Oja). But when Matt gets hurt, anything can happen. Like you know, Gil Gerard showing up. Imagine if Executive Decision was made with stock footage. Imagine a movie where Ice-T shows up nearly forty minutes in and is presumed dead at least twice if not ten times. Imagine a poster that is so close to Turbulence that I might be watching Turbulence. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member There's so bad it's good, and then there's just bad. This movie is the latter. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Ich will gar nicht zählen, wie viele „Terroristen entführen ein Flugzeug“-Filme es gibt ... und schon gar nicht möchte ich wissen, für wie viele davon sich der amerikanische Regisseur Fred Olen Ray (oftmals unterwegs unter dem Pseudonym Ed Raymond) verantwortlich zeigt. „Air Rage“ ist einer der eben genannten und bietet genau die Mischung, die Ray-Filme ausmachen. Zum einen sind da für B-Filme recht bekannte Darsteller wie Ice-T, einfach aber realistisch gestaltete Sets, ein zynischer Bösewicht und das Verwenden von so genannter Stock Footage – also von älteren und bereits in anderen Filmen verwendeten Szenen. Ray kann man als Fan von billig produzierten B-Actionern bedenkenlos als Ausnahmeregisseur bezeichnen – kaum ein anderer würde es schaffen, die selbe Story derart oft zu verfilmen ... und dabei immer noch für Unterhaltung beim Zuschauer zu sorgen. „Air Rage“ ist zwar kein nervenzerreißender Streifen, ist aber trotzdem als recht spannende Produktion zu bezeichnen, sodass Genrefans diesem Film auf jeden Fall eine Chance geben können. Ich jedenfalls habe mich nicht gelangweilt, ganz im Gegenteil – mit seinem charmant trashigen Amiente schafft es Ray wieder einmal, einen überzeugenden Flair zu kreieren, der an die Atmosphäre der „Genreklassiker“ aus den 80ern und 90ern heranreicht. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Should we actually consult anyone in the Aviation Industry prior to filming this movie -- Nope'. Good call Air Rage, good call. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It was so bad, but the bad dialogue, scenes, and performances made me and my dad laugh a lot. If I could do a Mystery Science Theater 3000 type thing to a list of films, this one would be on the list for sure. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member such dreadful acting and a boring plot. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
