Rating: 8 out of 10, This was a throwback action movie that
relied more on tension and action than an excess helping of the latest CGI
effects. Gerard Butler effortlessly carries the movie with a lot of help from a
very good Mike Colter, who looks like he has a bright future. Butler sets a
record for piloting a plane with the most bullet wounds but it was one of those
movies you forgive the gaping plot holes because the action and pace are so
well done. Butler flies a cut rate airlines plane across the Philippine Sea
only to crash land on a terrorist infected island, don’t you hate it when that
happens? It turns out to be bad news for the terrorists as Butler and Colter,
as an FBI imprisoned criminal, are soon cutting a swath through them, aiming
towards their fun and totally unbelievable climax. Loved it.
MVP: Butler as Brodie
Torrance, pilot and seemingly unkillable fighter
