Good idea, bad movie, 27 September 1998
Author: anonymous from Montreal, Canada

The idea of the movie is quite good to me: finding a quick responsible for a mid-air collision (in this case, the air traffic controller). However, it was not exploited correctly. The entire movie is full of technical mistakes regarding the aviation and air traffic control domain. This shows that the producers didn't care about their lack of information. Also, the actors do not seem very sincere unfortunately.

As to conclude, the entire movie is not worth watching it.
