Charlie Victor Romeo is rooted in fear and panic, but it's also a deeply empathetic film.

NPR

Everything the principal actors say was uttered, in a crisis, by a real person, although the sometimes frantic chatter has been edited for clarity by authors Robert Berger, Patrick Daniels and Irving Gregory.

New York Post

You probably don't want to see this gripping 3-D adaptation of an unusual and acclaimed 1999 off-Broadway production just before your next plane trip.

Rated: 3/4

... the filmmakers do get at something really terrifying, particularly in their second scene -- the moment when small talk segues into a realization that one might not survive the day. Gimmicky 3D or not, that's no small feat.

Charlie Victor Romeo is worth seeking out, as a thought-provoking, original, form-breaking film is a rare thing.

Something about hearing the voices of individuals seconds before they die is very reflective and makes you look closely on your own life.

Rated: 3/4

A mere shadow of the TV show "Mayday".

An intriguing and unique concept that is executed well. Even if Charlie Victor Romeo doesn't quite have long enough legs to get you all the way to the end of the film with your interest still intact, there's enough to enjoy here to warrant a Saturday afternoon watch.

3.9/10 I was really hoping for this documentary to be good and intense, but it was completely boring and not credible at all. Aside from one recreation that was good, all of them were boring and the repetition of the actors made it less real. Also it was kind of pointless and the way each story was told felt incomplete and without any real momentum. At least they tried to do something different. ~February 1, 2015~
