Non-Stop Refueling Action!!!
23 August 2004 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

If you enjoy movies with godawful performances delivered by some of the worst actors and non-actors to ever live, endless hours of jets refueling, and no plot to speak of, then look no further. SEE the jets fly! SEE the Liberace wannabe yak away on the phone! SEE the jets refuel! SEE the jets refuel....again...and again! And again! SEE the jets blow up some white rectangles! SEE the red-hot snuggling action! SEE the jets refuel again!

Seriously, this movie has more nothing in it than any other film I have ever laid my weary eyes on. Just what the hell was writer/producer/director Will Zens thinking? Does he have some weird fetish for the refueling hoses or something?

Just don't watch without the help of Mike and the bots.
