Mach 2

i bought this movie thinking that the movie was going to be better than great but i was proven really wrong! first this movies is fake above all secondly it copies Airport 79, the Concorde far much better this piece of crap, and even actually it takes scenes from airport 79 and put it into the movie this people are so cheapo that they can't afford a piece of set for a day! worst movie ever! plus supposibly they took off from washington dc and it showed palm trees! well they filmed it in pacoima or burbank or something and they had porn star as the air traffic controller that i know because of the funny film commentary the only good thing about this movie. so please don't watch i only watch this movie with the movie commentary.

I don't what the reviewers who have given this film very low scores thought they were watching. It's an average film to be sure but it's entertaining enough to be worth the time spent watching it. I like that the action is live and not CGI produced, to me CGI always looks too obvious and so isn't interesting. The film starts with an action sequence with furious fight scenes, where it has to be admitted that in the shoot out the two protagonists do expend an implausible amount of ammunition without managing to shoot each other, or anybody else for that matter. But how often have we seen that in action scenes? This first sequence introduces the lead character and his potentially fatal flaw: he's a US Air Force Officer who hates heights and can't fly a plane.

The plot has a few over-used elements: a convoluted government conspiracy which can only be plausible to dedicated conspiracy theorists, terrorists who are not who they seem, and a plane piloted by a person who doesn't know how to fly and has to be told how to land it. I'm sure I've seen that ending in two other films.

But the film's quality is lifted by the good acting of the whole cast. Apart from the most cheesy lines they make the dialogue plausible and the scenes watchable, and they are relatable as characters.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The acting,the effects,the plot basically all of the movie was horrible.The F-14 who can't take down a simple Concorde,the stupid lines,the fact that fuel is leaking from the end of the plain where the baggage compartment is and so on,an so on.There was the sexy role of Shannon Whirry which brightens up the movie a little bid.There is also Brian Bosworth who is playing a Michael Dudikoff type of hero who is going to save everybody and he sucked as the hole movie if you ask me.But hey if there are movies like that young actors can find work.And it was a super commercial for the Concorde too.

After watching this movie last night on tv. I asked myself if I haven't seen Mach 2 before. The fact is it was on the tv for the first time.If you are one action movie fan like me you have seen tons of stories like this. Neve Campbell look-a-like female is exciting but that's about it.

With a stream of famous names and faces one would think that this would be a great film. Having watched this garbage I have come to the conclusion that none of the actors actually read the script before shooting began. Cliché after cliché after cliché. This produces wooden performances from some names that should know better.

I am sure their accountants were happy when they paid their cheques into the bank, but anyone who bought/rented this on DVD will feel that their money could have been better spent on a tin of paint. They could have occupied themselves watching the paint dry and would have felt more fulfilled.

DVD and obscure cable/satellite channels will use this trash to fill out their schedules.

My advice ... buy the paint. At least you get a choice of colour.
