John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Smartly cast and scary stuff-but I could swear I've seen it before. Not something like it, but this exact movie. Help!

adam b A low-budget, flawed but decent watch. Without the great performances, I don't think I would've liked this film Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Made for tv dreck. The ATC stuff was somewhat accurate but plenty to roll eyes at for those that understand aviation. Kiefer is the only thing holding this turd together at all and it really wasn't worth it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie!!!!! All actors were excellent! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A highly entertaining film that makes good use of the suspense potential in the critical job performed by air traffic controllers. An outstanding cast and well written dialog gives the film a strong feel of verisimilitude. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Kiefer saves this just oke story ! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member low budget, but entertaining Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
