Review of Airtight

Airtight (1999 TV Movie)
5/10
Airtight with a leak or two.

Why does a heat sensor weapon only see the mouse on the table and not the people leaning on the table? Ok, maybe it had a range adjustment.

The film is not too bad, the plot is quite straight forward and revealed at an early enough point to stop you from getting bored. The objective of the main character is initially revenge and then takes a slight divergence, which is good to keep up the interest.

There are a few bits and pieces thrown into the mix, but information is regularly given in the dialogue so no nodding off or you may lose a thread or two, still that's Ok as the focus is still evident.

Occasionally I found the acting to be a bit dodgy and I felt like I was watching actors play parts rather than seeing the characters.

It is a hard thing to achieve in movies and this film failed in my view, the hard thing being; tempting me with the thought that the good guys might not win.

There is just not enough emotion in the film I guess to draw in the audience, and you just can't help but think of Total Recall or Highlander II at times.
