Review

Action star Gerard Butler takes to the skies in this crossbreed between Flight and Rambo. The first part of the film is a superbly made and played out mid-air drama; the second part is standardized Hollywood action, complete with all of its usual tropes and stereotypes. Thanks to Gerard Butler's industrious lead performance as well as solid, mechanical filmmaking, the adrenaline rush keeps going until the very end, even if your intellectual interest probably will start to wane after a while and the picture won't leave you with anything other than good, old-fashioned entertainment value. Most of the supporting performances are mediocre, but then again, these are never really supposed to be anything but stock characters. They are there to enable Butler's machismo, which will speak to your primitive senses and give you the promised value for money.
