Did you people see the same film I saw?

Amateur movie with Big budget

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I don't believe a missile test conducted by the Navy can make a mistake like that.I don't believe the Navy would attempt to cover the mistake by destroying the plane, particularly so many witnesses around.I don't believe the Airline boss and the Insurance manager would try to crash the plane for the sake of money.I don't believe anyone could survive after the plane was hit by the missile, let alone dogs.I don't believe a weekend driver could drive the plane safely back to ground. I don't believe anyone would write a script like that.I don't believe that Lu can still look so pretty, despite her age.I don't believe.....................

The acting was excellent; the story was a fairly close parallel to the book & the movie was better than most that are in the theaters today.Nelson Demille as usual educates his audience while keeping them on the edge of their seats wondering how his yarn will spin out. His movie was not loaded with sex, violence or foul language and yet was able to keep an old fogy like me awake for 2 hours past my bedtime. Hopefully there will be more made for TV movies of his work or, better yet, movies in the theater displaying the talent of Mr. Demille. His John Corey series deserves to be made into some form of cinema as it is so relevant to today's times.Three cheers for Nelson; I am in awe of his talent.

This is a film that has the mark of an effort which runs as if it is a mini-series but suddenly realizes that, "Hey, our two-hour allotment is almost up, better end this thing quick." The first half of the film runs well, and engrosses the viewer, but there are too many threads left dangling and not enough time to tie them up neatly. What happens to the insurance people who want the plane to crash so that they can wiggle out of liability? What happens on Wake Island? Will the report go in about the errant missile? And wasn't the missile still intact when it hit the plane? How will they explain that? Too many holes and a movie that needed to run three hours at the least.

I thought it was good. Though I also heard it is true, not too sure. Thats why I came to this site. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any truths that this movie was the basis upon because if that is true then it should be opening a lot of peoples eyes to a lot of things.I don't see why people are giving it such bad credit - I thought it was well plotted and well done. Not to mention it does keep you on the edge of your seats! Does anyone know if there was any truths in it though? IT would be great to know for sure or not. Most of the movie was about correct on what would happen also. (air compressure, shock, and the like).I seriously thought it was a good movie, and NBS was right to show it. It wasn't a waste of television, if you ask me.Thanks.
