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.

1st watched 4/4/2001 - 4 out of 10(Dir-Fred Olen Ray): ok movie, with ok acting, and ok action, and ok story. This type of movie has been done before with much more intensity with some of the same things done that are supposed to bring up the tension(Aka. Person flying the plane at the climatic end of movie has never flown before), corrupt politicians at the top (Aka. President Cliff Richardson) with gung-ho save-all action hero(Aka. Brian Bosworth), and weak love interest(Aka. Sharron Whirry). Lame attempt to recycle.

Very brief summary of what I thought about the movie: weak acting, very overused storyline full of things that make little sense, no research at all about airplanes and military procedures. If you have the guts to watch the movie, pay attention in some things like: there are no weapons in the F14s! Where do they get these missiles from? Why do the missiles explode in mid-air without hitting anything? How does the guy explode the car that was following him? How come the American fighters enter French airspace and the only people that see that were the people in the air control? France doesn't have any military force?

I still am mad at myself as to why did i chose to rent this movie in the first place. Pathetic is written all over the movie and i still failed to see it......hope time will heal my wounds! If you are planning to watch this one i would suggest there are other better movies out there.

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.

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.

I never realised that Concorde was sold to anyone except British Airways and Air France .. and yet here we are in an all-American "executive - equipped" model with a strange emblem on the tail very similar to the old speed bird of BOAC !

Concorde was never allowed to fly supersonic except over oceans , and yet here it is flying over Europe with a nuclear bomb on board , plus director , cameras , mikes , make-up lady , lighting & sound people etc ! The interior looks very similar to that of a B737 , but who cares ? The external scenes were of course edited from publicity material from Airbus ...

The flight scenes are a mish-mash of shakey frames , passengers throwing themselves left and right and flashing lights ! Remarkably , everyone survived an open door in mid-flight , and a floppy disk was somehow important !

In case anyone is interested , the writer of this masterpiece also wrote " Return of the Killer Shrews " and " Megaconda " (honest !) , but these were not filmed in Santa Clarita ...

I have a new idea for a film entitled "Evil Megaconcorde" , where the plane turns into a predator unleashing mega rays at Santa Clarita ! Well , sort of an idea ...

Please avoid at all costs , and ask for a refund !

The acting by Brian Bosworth, Shannon Whirry, Ciff Robertson and Michael Dorn was pretty solid despite the script they had to work with.

Steve Latshaw wrote a very pedestrian script filled with weak clichés and one liners. The dialogue is only part of what brought this film down.

The direction was horrid. Fred Olen Ray, who had directed such classics as Vampire Vixens from Venus and Bikini Drive In, does a horrid job directing this movie. The cuts, the angles, the closeups - everything he did was pedestrian. The music, the sound editing, everything was bad.

If it wasn't for some solid acting from a few select cast members this wouldn't be worth the time. As is, it is a fair little action flick. Just don't expect much. At all ...

Well, I watched this film hoping for some great Boz action, but only a little showed up. But, with Boz, Shannon, and Worf in it who could lose! I'll give it an 8/10 on those three alone! Boz does a fine job for what he's given and looks more comfortable acting, Shannon melts your bones just looking at her, and Worf (Dorn)is one big dude. Problem with this flick is the music score and the general flow of the picture. But being a Boz fan, it's worth seeing. Some good flight scenes.

Boy, Boz's scar sure looked like Stone Cold's didn't it?? Flamio

No need for a spoiler - it all sucks - I have been on Concorde and it's tiny and nothing like this Obv they had Concorde footage but no access The acting is as fake as a high school production with a dire screenplay.

Every piece or event is incorrect or impossible

One line is 'welcome to amateur hour'. A great summary of an atrocious movie.

So bad and obvious it's amazing those in it didn't burst out laughing all the time.

Poor Michael Dorn - Worf in Star Trek.

Possibly the worst plot, staging, acting and directing in the history of film.

The Concorde mock cockpit, seating layout designed by someone who's never seen the aircraft. Etc, etc etc. Looks like a beaten up 727!

Just awful, awful, awful. Quite frankly the worst film I've ever seen and I don't even want to waste my time on explaining why. It's almost worth watching just to allow yourself to vent some anger as you shout at the screen at how pathetic and unbelievable this film is.

If you are foolish enough to watch then prepare to spend a lot of time sighing and cringing. There is artistic licence and then there is just plain stupid and unbelievable. The amount of artistic licence is quite frankly insulting to the viewer.

Then I suppose I should come on to the acting. Well again, to call it acting is an insult to the professionals out there.

I have to say I seen some bad movies but this movie is probably THE worst by miles. It's actually funny how bad it is, I didn't know it was possible to make such bad bad films. I've seen kids nativity plays which are much much better!!!!

I would say don't bother watching this, but because it's that awful I think I would promote this movie so people can see how rubbish it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been.

An unexpectedly good movie that could have benefited a lot from a larger budget. Miniatures are used in the shots of the Concorde, and it shows. It was rated R for violence, though it had less violence than most TV shows. Profanity throughout was unnecessary and could have been edited out. Brian Bosworth does an adequate job as the Air Force officer who gets called on when anything goes wrong. Michael Dorn shines in a non-Worf role that shows he can play someone else other than a Trek character. David Hedison is great as the U.S. Senator and is the only actor to look like he was actually walking on a a real plane. Shannon Whirry, who plays his political assistant, shows that she can handle an action role. Best of all are the scenes with the NSA agents.

It is always disappointing when good actors have a rubbish script and are surrounded by z list actors and a poor director. The storyline, at the time, was quite fresh but the screenplay was badly written and in places, farcical. Not much more to say other than the wooden tops brought more emotion to a story than some of the actors. The female leads appear to have been casted for looks rather than ability as is one of the male leads. I just wasn't convinced by their performances. Perhaps they will blame the script and the director but, if so, they should be honest with themselves.

At 9:37 in as mr Bosworth breaks into the cage holding the ticking bomb. As he rotates the device the count down shows his Jersey # 55. great timing huh!! Now that's all 4 now. watchin the rest

A likeable little thriller that didn't disappoint. I found it to be surprisingly gripping and enjoyable. It's absolutely worth a watch if you're looking for an entertaining flick that does bring the thrills. The plot also shows how corrupt and messed up the US government is and I honestly haven't seen a flick so accurate about the US government in a long time. People here seem to have a rather bizarre anger towards this movie. I've seen other movies comparable to this one and the opinions on those are always more varied and fair. I'm glad I stopped taking IMDb reviews seriously a long time ago. Hell, there are movies here with IMDb ratings that literally double Mach 2's current 3.3/10 that worse than this movie.

Mach 2 is a good film that has a good cast which includes Brian Bosworth, Shannon Whirry, Bruce Weitz, Cliff Robertson, Michael Dorn, Lance Guest, David Hedison, Andrew Stevens, Robert Pine, Ai Wan, Clark Reiner, Jennifer Hammon, Amir Aboulela, Ron Chaney, Grant Cramer, Sondra Currie, Ron Chaney, Grant Cramer, Sondra Currie, Charles Cyphers, and Nikki Fritz. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Bosworth and Robertson are really excellent in this film. I thought that they performed good. The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Brian Bosworth, Shannon Whirry, Bruce Weitz, Cliff Robertson, Michael Dorn, Lance Guest, David Hedison, Andrew Stevens, the rest of the cast in the film, Action, Adventure, Thrillers, Dramas, and interesting films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

Overall a pretty good movie with surprisingly a lot of stars. The Boz gives a pretty good performance in this action movie. Some corny lines here and there, but written pretty well. There were even scenes taken from Concorde 77, the one with George Kennedy! I am not kidding! There are some great fight scenes and The Boz kicks some butt. If you are a Boz fan or action movie fan, you should like it. No Oscars are going to be won here, but the Boz lives on!
