      Audience Member The movie looked as cheap as dirt, with bad direction, minimal lighting effects and no attempt at artistic effort made in framing shots. The plot is utterly bizarre, and that's before you get to the truckload of reused footage of aeroplanes from stock footage, including a hilariously composited fighter jet over stock footage of an airliner. There's so many inconsistencies in this movies depiction of fighter planes and pilots that it's utterly mind-boggling, and has no attempt at relevance to reality. And the name has little to do with any kind of tactics, or assault, other than on your suspension of disbelief. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review laurie s A military unit which is useless, an unstable prat and a psychiatrist who is crap - it's a good mix for shi'ite. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Having just seen this film on Netflix streaming, I have to say, I would rather have sat through the first 90 minutes of Dark of the Moon again. The acting was mediocre at the best of times, and the story was atrocious. See this film for laughs only. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is desperate stuff - a poor mans top gun - Hauer is a deranged former fighter pilot who tried to shoot down a civilian plane only to have been shot down by his commanding officer and is now hell bent on revenge. Sheesh!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member well umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a pretty good movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that wendy benson, rutger hauer, robert patrick, dey young, isabel glasser, ken howard play good roles/parts throughout this movie....i think that the director of this action/adventure/drama/thriller/made for tv movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throguhout this movie...its a good thriller movie 2 watch n its a quite enjoyable movie 2 watch...i think that the fight scenes n the gun shoot outs were pretty kewl throughout this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a fairly lame plot and very low brow in most departments, although Rutger Hauer always plays deranged characters with a great zest, so it might be worth a look.
