Hilarious as most TV productions
Where am I supposed to start with this movie? I seriously have no idea. Okay, so it's a typical US-made TV production and as it appears, all TV directors have made an agreement to produce such nonsense. Actors with average performance are put into what is supposed to be a Concorde supersonic aircraft and are taken hostage by Secret Service agents on behalf of a president and vice president who is supporting the war in the Balcan to have his economy prosper. Well, let's have a look at the aircraft. Okay, it's been a while that I have seen the insides of a Concorde, but what they are showing here has no resemblance whatsoever with the aircraft. Some scenes with F-14 Tomcats are taken from "Top Gun" and all in all, you can see that the budget ended before they could actually do some action scenes. Produced in 2001, this movie contains mainly very old scenes in the outdoor shots, so that they also were able to use car chases and a car crash from an old European spy movie. That one gave me a really good laugh. Before indulging too much into all the details here, let me just say that I was really surprised to find that at the Paris Airport they were using US-made ambulances. While that actually is possible, I was even more surprised to find that they also had US number plates on them. Forgive me for being a bit sarcastic, but such movies really spoil the joy of watching TV. It's not necessarily in the plot or the actors, but it's the details. The plot behind "Mach 2" in principle is good and the different threads could make for three different movies. A aircraft hijack, a presidential intrigue and an international spy connection. However, they gallantly left out anything that would have made this movie "intellectually challenging".
Something to avoid
Very brief summary of what I thought about the movie: weak acting, very overused storyline full of things that make little sense, no research at all about airplanes and military procedures. If you have the guts to watch the movie, pay attention in some things like: there are no weapons in the F14s! Where do they get these missiles from? Why do the missiles explode in mid-air without hitting anything? How does the guy explode the car that was following him? How come the American fighters enter French airspace and the only people that see that were the people in the air control? France doesn't have any military force?
decent acting is all that carried this movie
The acting by Brian Bosworth, Shannon Whirry, Ciff Robertson and Michael Dorn was pretty solid despite the script they had to work with. Steve Latshaw wrote a very pedestrian script filled with weak clichés and one liners. The dialogue is only part of what brought this film down. The direction was horrid. Fred Olen Ray, who had directed such classics as Vampire Vixens from Venus and Bikini Drive In, does a horrid job directing this movie. The cuts, the angles, the closeups - everything he did was pedestrian. The music, the sound editing, everything was bad. If it wasn't for some solid acting from a few select cast members this wouldn't be worth the time. As is, it is a fair little action flick. Just don't expect much. At all ...
sexy,dumb,sad,and stupid.
i bought this movie thinking that the movie was going to be better than great but i was proven really wrong! first this movies is fake above all secondly it copies Airport 79, the Concorde far much better this piece of crap, and even actually it takes scenes from airport 79 and put it into the movie this people are so cheapo that they can't afford a piece of set for a day! worst movie ever! plus supposibly they took off from washington dc and it showed palm trees! well they filmed it in pacoima or burbank or something and they had porn star as the air traffic controller that i know because of the funny film commentary the only good thing about this movie. so please don't watch i only watch this movie with the movie commentary.
