This movie is in a way a modern "Airport ´75", which in my opinion is no disadvantage at all. Credibility does not always take a first seat here, but "Final Descent" is nevertheless an exciting airborne drama, that feels refreshing in a time when all similar TV-movies are based on real events. The only thing missing here is George Kennedy as "Joe Patroni", but if he had been aboard, the film would have had to be retitled "Airport ´97"...
