I liked the movie, but it could have been even better.
The script is weak, implausible, though it could easily have been made more life-like but still just as dynamic. The Filipino guerrillas are shown as caricatured villains. It takes place on an island with no cell phone service. But in the middle of the island there is a half-ruined building and it has a landline phone, it’s true, without wires, but it also works without any electricity, purely by magic. And with it you can even call several times for free on the other side of the world in America. It is not otherwise that the authors of the film have discovered a new way of communication, based on previously unknown physical principles, the Schnobel Prize. And I, for example, still do not understand how the mercenaries were on the island, moreover, with a ton of different stuff and just at the desired plane. Teleport, no otherwise. And in general, the search of the plane and saving people is done not by the governmental commission, but by God knows who, cadres and managers of the airline, headed by the outsider solver. These are the grimaces of capitalism. And there is a lot more of that. And what is most offensive, all these script bloopers could easily be avoided, giving the script more realism. And what we ended up with smells hackneyed.
Scenes of the plane crash and shootings are well filmed, dynamic and interesting to watch. They are not filmed on a computer and on a green screen, many scenes are shot on location, and are pleasing to the eye. The actors are not bad, but no one is particularly memorable. And there is not enough of a love line, it is completely absent. And what about the female audience, what do they have to look at in this action movie, at Gerard Butler? So he’s not even good anymore. Ah, nobody has seen the crew of the Soviet film “The Crew”. They had no idea about the romantic line. The movie will lose a lot at the box office because of it.
But in spite of all that, I liked the movie. This is such a classic disaster movie crossed with an action movie. A classic male (teenage) movie, like one cool hero, not to be confused with a superhero, beats everyone.
