You’ll know the exact moment when everything goes south with the arrival of Telly Savalas as a motor-mouth, insulting, fish-out-of-water, crop-dusting pilot. Once his character shows up, the movie takes on a farcical, almost borderline slapstick tone.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2023

A good conspiracy thriller needs to make its scenario and setup believable to be effective, and this film nails that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2019

It is very entertaining in terms of its story and acting, mainly because it is not trying to convince anyone of a real life conspiracy. It is just a science fiction movie meant to entertain and amuse its audience.

Pretty soon the project gets bogged down in innumerable difficulties, not helped by the awfulness of most of the dialogue.
