The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I try to be openly objective about movies, I have seen many bad movies, and some like Sharknado are so bad that they become funny, this movie is so bad that it cant even be funny. I think an average person with no theater experience and average writing skills could have done a better job with this crap-tastic excuse of a movie. There are hundreds of issues with this movie other than the lack of decent directed acting.1. The FAA would not in the foreseeable future accept an aircraft that is completely controlled by an Artificial Intelligence with no remote switch or remote manual control, and even with remote control would it be extremely unlikely to get accepted.2. Why would an aircraft a FL250 (25,000 feet above sea level) have its landing gear down and flaps set to landing configuration? THERE IS NO REASON, EVER! 3. At one point in the movie the main characters seem to easily move the throttle's forward and backward with no force what so ever, later on the "hero" has to help his wife push the throttles forward as she seems to be too weak to do so. This is not how a Boeing aircraft works, and Airbus will be like this yet with minimal force required, however this aircraft was a Boeing 747.4. Why would they use an SR-71A Blackbird which is no longer in service and has not been in service since the 1990's, when there are plenty of other aircraft that can intercept the 747 without burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of JET-A1.5. The "Air-Bridge" that was used is entirely a farce, and attempting to attach something to an aircraft at FL360 (36,000 feet) going about 480 KTAS (610 Miles Per Hour) is going to have disastrous consequences, the tube was also not even pressurized and Casper Van Dien would have died with everyone else on the plane as they opened the door; however in real life the door would not open due to safety measures placed on the door which prevent it from being opened while the aircraft is airborne.Do yourself a favor and skip this movie, save your eyes for something better like Sharknado.

Everything about this movie - from the plot, to the script, to the casting - is simply disastrous. The writers and technical specialists should have done their homework - something the obviously did not do. And just a note to casting directors - filling your cast with pretty women and good-looking men does not necessarily make a good film. It just means you are down-right lazy. As for the so-called "acting" ... wow. Bad. Just ... bad. One exception - and quite honestly, the biggest surprise was Casper Van Dien; not usually a heavyweight when it comes to acting-chops, he's actually pretty good in this sorry excuse for a movie.

I was actually hoping the plane would go down, just to end the dreadful mess. Every conceivable cliché ever used in an air disaster film was present in this one. I kept watching simply in anticipation of the next over acted scene, thinking at some point it would have to show a sign of something loosely plausible. The hole just kept getting deeper, right up to the end. Were all flight safety rules set aside by the FAA for this particular flight? I'm not an air safety expert, but shouldn't there be at least a co-pilot at the controls at all times. I gave it a two because even if for all the wrong reasons I did purpose to sit through it. It could have almost been a comedy. I often flashed back to one of the AIRPLANE movies of the seventies expecting a laugh. Watch it for it's goofiness. That's the only entertaining thing about it.

This movie was meant as comedy? Rarely seen a movie worse than this. The text is like those from a bad soap opera, the camera work fits in exactly. The timeline in the film is utter nonsense. An aircraft that already was flying for an hour by 700 miles is within two minutes passed by an aircraft that had to come from across the country. The acting is not much better. Unlikely characters, real silly technicalities. Top of the nonsense is the change in mid-air through a fuel hose in a commercial airliner by a simple door. A waste of time to watch this movie. Probably this film was meant seriously but there is really nothing good to say about it. Maybe you should approached this as a parody .
