Going into Blackout Effect (Otherwise known as 747) I expected yet another plane related disaster flick. You know the ones, where there is something wrong with a plane and it's down to the crew and those on the ground to guide them home.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's not, it's a perfectly watchable little thriller.
It tells the story of an air traffic controller who appears to make a mistake and causes two planes to collide. But the more investigation is done into the matter the more it appears there is more to the story.
Starring Eric "I was almost Marty McFly" Stoltz and underrated Charles Martin Smith this thriller managed to get my attention from the get go. Truth be told it does get a tad far fetched by the end but never goes too far.
Well written and tense this is well worth anyones time despite not being groundbreaking.
The Good:
Great idea
Decent performances
The Bad:
Hit and miss in places
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Air traffic controller jobs look insanely stressful
