This is a good old fashion action flick from director John Woo, where John Travolta plays corrupted Air Force Major Vic 'Deak' Deakins who intentionally crash lands a U.S. plane holding two nuclear warheads. He demands $250,000,000 from the government in return for the warheads and his co-pilot, Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater) and U.S. park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) attempt to stop him.
This movie has some good direction and a fast-paced plot that kept the story interesting and captivating. The acting was OK for the most part and, from what I remember, there is much edge-of-your-seat excitement seeing Hale pit against Deakins in the warhead mission after he gets beaten by Deakins in a boxing match earlier in the movie. Travolta portrayed a very sneaky and formidable villain and Slater gave a heroic portrayal of the protagonist. Overall, it's a good action flick to pass the time.
Grade B
