We decided to see this on a whim really. Was raining and not much else to do, so we figured why not? Didn't really know what to expect.
It's your run of the mill action flick, kinda entertaining but it gets harder and harder to suspend your disbelief as it goes on.
It starts off as a plane crash disaster flick, with the brave pilot crash landing a commercial jet after being damaged in a storm. They manage to find an island with a farm road to land on and all is good. Turns out the island is the base of some bad guys, who kidnap and hold people hostage. So the movie shifts to a die hard sorta action flick. After some mercenaries hired by the airline get into a shoot out with the bad guys, they make a dash back to the plane, which apparently isn't all that broken after all. More shoot outs, and they fly the plane off the island and find a landing strip 50 miles away on another island. Everybody is mostly ok, end of movie....
Ok, so lots of really unbelievable stuff, to the point of just being silly. So, yeah, as long as you can get past the really, really, really silly plot devices, inconsistencies and face palm smacking, it's actually ok to watch.
