An elite military team must board an airborne, hijacked plane to defuse a nerve gas bomb that could wipe out the entire East Coast. The plot follows a "Die Hard" formula, providing... more...competent suspense.

Well you’d think this movie would have had everything….. A great cast, a good story line and by the sound of things there would have been plenty on action and special effects. Sadly all is not meant to be.
The film is about a group of Islamic militants carrying a nerve gas that could wipe out everyone in Washington who Kidnap a plane and demand $50 million ransom. In comes Steven Segal with his crack team of commandos to save the day. They are joined by Kurt Russell, an expert on this militant group. They have to bored the plane undetected in mid flight and keep them selves hidden or the militants would blow up the plane.
This has everything you would expect from a movie produced by Joel Silver (of Batman fame): Loud, Glossy, fast and Steven Segal manages to disappear before the film ever gets going.
Unfortunately the acting is first base, the script is laughable, the action is mearly solid and the effects are indifferent. Yet you still manage to have a smile on you face when it’s all over. OK so its nothing special but well worth the watch, especially when the commandos manage to take out the bad guys…which incidentally takes them the whole film to finally get round to doing it.
