Film Reviews by Rob S

A strange one this - Great idea, some very good execution with clearly a great deal of effort going into the filming - but somehow just left me a bit cold. There are some good scenes, just not enough of them and there aren't enough scary bits or shocks. The shaky camera work didn't bother me too much and kind of put you in the middle of things, but there are too many far fetched things going on here that just wouldn't happen in the real world.

Overall entertaining, but not a classic and not really worth seeing more than once.

The most annying thing is the extras as you cannot view the making of featurettes unless you watch the film and then click when the icon comes up. Really annoying trying to spot them on fast forward. I must say though that the ones I did see offered an interesting insight.

Picture quality is good but not reference standard and the sound was OK, but again nothing spectacular.

Rating 3 out of 5

For those who have an interest in the subject matter, be it from morbid curiousity or just wanting to pay tribute to the heros on this flight, this film hits just the right note. It is not overly sentimental and although the terrorists are shown as such and they are clearly the villians of the piece, there is even an insight into how they may have felt even though they executed this terrible act. The film also goes someway to highlight why this mission (thank god) aimed at the Whitehouse, failed.

Good performances from an unknown cast and excellent documentary (if a little long) if you want to know more about the real victims and about the genuine feelings that the cast had for the people that they portray in the film.

Highly recommended.

This is an OK film but not really that funny. There are a couple of amusing bits, one being particularly crude. You also have to endure Mr. Walken being, well, Mr. Walken (does he ever act in a different style these days).

Yes it was mildly entertaining but really quite average. One of those where you don't bother hitting pause when you get up to go to the toilet....know what I mean?

Typical Adam Sandler movie then...nuff said.
