AURORA: OPERATION INTERCEPT is a B-movie about a stolen military jet being used against the United States. It's one of those cheap and boring little films that fetishes the latest technology but forgets to put a convincing human story in with it. A bunch of familir B-movie cast members is the only thing this one has going for it, but sadly they're not enough to make this a remotely interesting or engaging production. I admit that it is fun to see Bruce Payne (the usual movie bad guy of PASSENGER 57 and its ilk) playing the hero for a change, and Lance Henriksen is reliable in support. But the film is poorly directed and too darn dark for the most part. Corbin Bernsen pops up briefly as a pilot and Dennis Christopher hams it up as a pantomime Russian villain, but otherwise this is mindless fare.
