2 out of 5 stars If it wasn't for ICE-T this movie would be running on empty..........2005-06-25

This is pretty much a copycat of PASSENGER 57, which is a better movie...

If it wasn't for ICE-T I wouldn't have cared to follow the movie through... Besides him the movie is pretty much a waste of time and money...

Ice-t Does NOT have the lead in the movie which I thought, his character doesn't get in the movie until like 40 minutes has past, Kim Noja (or whatever she's called) has the leadand she isn't to great (u might know her as the flat one in SON OF THE BEACH)...

I'd recommend you watch STEALTH FIGHTER if u want to see a movie feautring planes and ice-T instead... Not the best movie neither but it sure is funny...

1 out of 5 stars Not worth the electricity it takes to view it.......2005-01-10

The highlight of the movie: Kim Oja is cute and she is a serviceable actress. It's all downhill from there.

Some have noted that this movie uses tons of stock footage. Not surprising since if they had a budget of more than $10,000 it doesn't show up on the screen. The FAA will let movies shoot some background and limited principal shots in its air traffic facilities, but the producers here don't even bother. They just badly dress up a room with stuff that has no relation to reality. The action is supposed to take place on a 747, but they couldn't even spend the money to shoot the cockpit scenes in a real 747 or rent one of the mockups that have appeared in numerous other movies. The cockpit is an obvious thrown together cheap set done by someone who has absolutely no idea of what they're depicting. Poorly directed, indifferently acted (except by Ms Oja) and completely unresearched.

In order to not either laugh or throw something at the screen when you watch this, you have to have no knowledge of aviation, air traffic control, the military, piloting requirements, what anything in a cockpit is, the military, guns, how humans breathe (you can breathe without aid at 10,000 feet, there's no reasons to rapidly descend from there), security, etc. Come to think of it that describes the writers. For example, in the big climax, you're expected to believe that every air traffic controller knows exactly how to fly a 747 and can teach virtually anybody how to land it and that your average flight attendant knows where all the controls are and just how to work them. In this big sequence, the writer and didrector don't even bother to learn what controls do what to attempt to inject even a modicum of realism in an unbelievable sequence Controller: "Now pull that throttle back as hard as you can". Whereupon the flight attendant pulls back only one lever (there are four on a 747, one for each engine) which isn't a throttle lever anyway. There is not even the slightest attempt in this movie to get anything right. So, this movie does exactly what the plane would do in real life: Crash and burn.

Yes, Passenger 57 and Executive Decision (from which this movie copies) weren't very realistic either, but at least they tried, and if you could get by the silliness were exciting. This movie doesn't even bother, and neither should you.

5 out of 5 stars Very Suspenseful.......2004-06-17

Unknown actors and actresses (to me) ...but I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Some scenes were a little "far fetched" but that's what entertainment is all about ...huh??

4 out of 5 stars Great movie.......2004-02-14

Enjoyed this movie. Only two glitches-the operative forgot to disengage the airliner skin sensor and any government man being tracked by NTS on a flight would not walk off the plane alone-especially with a head wound.

4 out of 5 stars If McClane was a woman.......2001-10-09

Don't judge a DVD on the cover! Air Rage's main character isn't Matthew Marshall (Ice-T) but the stewardess played by Kim Oja. Unlike most "feminine Die Hards", who are poor actresses spending most of the movie in the buff, Kim keeps her clothes on (except for a tame striptease at gunpoint) and shows us real acting talents, portraying a courageous, yet vulnerable, girl next door who finds herself fighting an elite force of rogue marines. Another good surprise are the characters' personnalities which are not caricatured (the only exception being the unbearable passenger). As for the script, despite many implausibilities, the suspense works well and some twists are really unpredictable. A good B-movie!
