Another low budget direct to streaming fake action thriller with a washed up former star (Baldwin) appearing for a glorified cameo, and a no name lead doing his best to carry a film weighed down by an abysmal script and amateur direction.

There hasn't been a plane thriller for a while now. The genre had its heyday in the late 90s with Passenger 57, Executive Decision, Con Air, Air Force One, Turbulence and finally had a small revival with Red Eye, Flightplan and Snakes on a Plane. If you enjoyed those, don't get your hopes up. This is bottom of the barrel junk, murkily lit to hide the budget limitations, badly paced and with plot holes big enough to fly a 747 through.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers must be in dire need of cash. This is the second low budget junk movie with him released in a month. He's not the worst actor out there, but I'm not sure he can carry a film. At least not one of this quality, but then again who could.

Alec Baldwin... well we know why he'll take any paycheck he can get now. I think the graphic artist doesn't like him very much. They wisely changed the poster for IMDB, but google the main cover the film, and you will see a hilariously bad photoshop of Baldwin that looks like some grade school kid just figured out the skin smoothing effect on photoshop for the first time. Normally his agent (if he still has one) should have cought that before it went public. But as with most of these direct to streaming movies, no one gives a damn about anything.

If you value your time at all, you'll find a better film to watch.
