Stealth Reviews
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2005
Full of explosive mayhem and pulse-quickening aerial combat, this high-flying action romp offers polished, if derivative entertainment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 3, 2005
If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?

Cohen undermines his own effort to make a 21st century Top Gun by using so many quick cuts and zooms that we can't even appreciate the action sequences. I almost got motion sickness.

Plays like a slapdash assemblage of the greatest hits of conspiracy-minded action cinema.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 31, 2005
Stealth isn't a very good movie. It's contrived and silly, moving at warp speed so as to leave novel concepts like character development floating somewhere off in the distance.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2005
It's not new. It's not interesting. I wish it would go away.

Aiming to join the Jerry BruckheimerJerry Bruckheimer/Michael BayMichael Bay school of American movie war games, Stealth is just too dumb to make the grade.

Stealth manages to be so ridiculously unconvincing you think you're watching a live-action version of last year's sublime action-movie puppet satire Team America.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 29, 2005
Rob Cohen's airborne adventure Stealth commits the cardinal sin for an action movie: It's very, very dull.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 29, 2005
No matter how hard Cohen flogs it, whips it, beats it, shakes it, kicks it and prods it with a sharp stick, Stealth, his latest, just doesn't spring to life.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 29, 2005
Stealth succeeds in satisfying a dozen different pubescent fantasies while simultaneously violating every aspect of logic and good taste.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 29, 2005
Beyond mind-numbing explosions, Stealth's effects are good, especially the whooshing flight scenes. But as Eddie shows, humanity matters, and computer wizardry won't fill an empty plot.

Cohen is no stranger to cornball excess but Stealth is his chef-d'oeuvre, a movie so audaciously preposterous and jingoistic it plays like a parody of the genre.

[Stealth] is the filmic embodiment of all that is indulgent, gratuitous and downright dumb in pop culture.
Full Review | Original Score: D | Jul 29, 2005
Stealth doesn't so much crash and burn as just fly and fade into its CGI-created sunset.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2005
Hollywood hokum? Absolutely. Pop-culture propaganda? Perhaps. Yet Stealth goes beyond feeding our popcorn proclivities.

Stealth is a pretty fair military-hardware action movie until you start thinking about it -- at which point it turns incredibly sour in your mouth.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Jul 29, 2005
Stealth is flimsy and forgettable, but it does have a few worthy action and special-effects sequences.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 29, 2005
Stealth is so over-painted with CGI that it doesn't look as real as the sequence starring Shepard that inspired it in The Right Stuff, a movie made with model airplanes.
