The tough and reality-bruised Captain JJ Collins (Elsa Pataky) finds herself in charge of a lone nuclear missile interceptor base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after she is wrongfully drummed out of her dream job at the Pentagon. When a simultaneous coordinated attack then threatens the base itself, Collins comes face-to-face with the charismatic yet crooked Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey), a former US military intelligence officer intent on carrying out an unthinkable plan. With only minutes on the clock, Collins must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise to determine who she can trust and stop Kessel and his covert mercenaries from completing their twisted and terrible mission.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Interceptor might spark a flicker of interest in viewers jonesing for a no-nonsense action thriller, but there's nothing here they haven't seen before.

Audience Says

A few fun fight scenes aren't enough to make up for the cheap-looking Interceptor's predictable, sloppily written story.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com A Die Hard clone set inside a top-secret military installation that’s the last line of defense against Russian nuclear aggression, high-octane actioner Interceptor is a waste of time. Rated: 1/4 Jun 11, 2022 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Interceptor is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie. It’s as dull as watching Eisteddfod while sober and as nuanced as a pantomime populated with ex-Neighbours stars. Rated: 1/5 Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday Please, please do not waste your time. Rated: 0/4 Jun 5, 2022 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews The latest Netflix feature may be all kinds of impractical and over-the-top, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that every moment in this 96-minute runtime is downright entertaining. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Interceptor” somehow manages to hold your attention. Lots of it has to do with Pataky who earns our sympathies. Not so much for the terrorist threat her character faces, but for the task she’s given of making a really sub-par script entertaining. Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2022 Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) I hope Netflix gives Reilly the kind of budget for his sophomore effort so that he might be able to take the camera out into the wider world.

Darryl S A small woman with one arm incapacitated beats up a trained mercenary with torture skills! Saving the world with 1/3rd second to spare. Too many crazy things. I was busy elsewhere and had this on in the background, no way could I have sat and given it my full attention. Chris Hemsworth obviously thought being an Executive Producer gave him the right to a small part in the movie. A stupid, annoying part! Each time he popped up I thought why is he being such a clown? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Linda G Very entertaining. The star was awesome! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Peter R As close to a Matthew Reilly book as you'd expect. Suspense and ridiculous feats of unbelievable heroism. Love it for the movie it is intended to be. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Linda H The premise at the start was promising, then went downhill from there with too many holes. Especially at the end where she had only 3 minutes to save the USA, no way. Unrealistic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Linton B This is a horrible movie! 💔😩😭 My only regret is the 90 minutes I will never get back! I feel dumber having watched this movie! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Bryan C I don’t find the criticism that it would be bad. I loved it. Just a simple movie, chewing gum for the mind. Need more like it. Yours truly.
