Falcon Down

Summary: Very poor action movie
Review: I bought this DVD because it was a bargain and because of the review I read about it.

But I did not enjoy it much. The story is poor, even the action scenes are not that great.

It is, in my opinion, a poor imitation of another great movie of the genre: "Firefox", with Clint Eastwood, which I really recommend.

If you want an action movie and don't bother about the plot this is a good and cheap choice.

Summary: Falcon Down thrashes Kane in fight for greatest of all time!
Review: I just finished watching this film and I'm still trying to catch my breath. This is without a doubt, the greatest movie ever made. I dare you to put this up against Citizen Kane or anything else in your library. It puts the rest of the world into context and forces the actions of the government to have a cause and effect role in society - something the real world doesn't often provide. Way to go UFO!

Summary: Sandra Fan
Review: I rented this 'cause I like Sandra Ferguson. She looked great as usual and the plot was decent. I was really surprised that Cliff Robertson was in it too. The action was good and I wasn't disappointed I rented this movie.

Summary: Good direct-to-video action movie!
Review: This direct-to-video release is an entertaining movie, although it suffers from a low budget and less-than-stellar acting. The movie's plot is centered on Hank Thomas (played by Dale Midkiff), an Air Force pilot who loses his best friend and wingman in a tragic accident during a routine mission. After being blamed for this accident by his superiors and spending three years out of the Air Force, Hank is recruited by a group of specialists to hijack a government top secret weapon that was responsible for many tragic losses. However, Hank soon learns that these people have another agenda, and it's up to him to stop their plans. Although the story is somewhat routine, the movie also features an "X-Files" twist: home video footage of these government planes and weapons are taken by paranoid people who believe the government is experimenting with aliens and alien spacecraft. The visual effects are pretty good despite budget restrictions, and the swift cutting back and forth between the main story and this "home video footage" is clever. The movie features many familiar faces, including Judd Nelson, Cliff Robertson, and even William Shatner (who chews up the scenery). This is a movie worth checking out because it is somewhat different from standard by-the-numbers action films.
