Liam Neeson.....strap your water-skis on.


**Spoiler Alert**

What the hell happened to this film?!? I'm just happily watching this entertaining B-movie....there's a bit of drama, a bit of action, a dash of intrigue. Nice. Good fun.

Then in the final act of the movie everything just went to sh*t and totally jumped the shark. A terrible reveal, appalling acting, the worst (best lol) CGI explosion since Under Siege 2, a jaw-droppingly bad CGI plane crash that looked like a TV news artist representation, a sequence with a little girl about to fly out of a hole in the cabin (which had me crying with laughter.....so good) and of course all internal story logic being jettisoned out the airlock..

Oh and just a quick message to anyone who works in the movie business: just because there have been a selection of British or Australian actors who have mastered an American accent and won a range of American character roles..... don't think this works both ways. GOOD GOD NO!!! It's as true today as ever, that 99% of American actors simply cannot do British (and most other accents) accents. They just can't. Ever. So stop making them try. You had Linus Roach sitting right there in the cockpit, why did you have to employ Co-Pilot Dick van Dyke?

Compeletly agree about the accents, I don't know why they make them do american or British accents , unless their playing a real life (factual) character then why change the acdent just to fit with the *beep* Hollywood trend?

Sean Connery in the untouchables for me is the worst example of this, how he won An oscar for that il never know !!!

The funny thing is that it wouldn't be considered unusual at all for an American co - pilot to be working for a British airline. The profession is global by nature. BTW, I actually thought Scottish Sean did a good Irish accent in The Untouchables.🐭
