Michael's Movie Grade: B
A bloody and gory good time.
This gory plane-bound action flick is incredibly over the top and just simply a lot of fun. There is never a single point where this movie takes itself seriously and that is just what makes it so much fun. As over the top and gory as the movie gets it always has a very silly and slapstick sense of humor that is often laugh out loud funny. The mixture of action and laughs here simple excellent, especially with Josh Hartnett and Charithra Chandran providing very fun leads. Director James Madigan in his first feature length film as a full director (though he has worked on many popular action movies as a second unit director and a special effects supervisor, keeps the action moving a very quick pace and the movie never once gets boring.
The film does unfortunately feature rather bland side characters, and this unfortunately includes a rather bland villain.
This is just pure dumb fun.
