Handsfree Piloting, 14 January 2005
1/10
Author: (j_a_melrose) from United Kingdom

I'm not normally one to be petty about these things but since this film is so rubbish I thought I'd point out that, at one point the pilot of the longhorn flight (the guy) is shown with no steering wheel in his hands: he is just holding his clenched fists in position (look to bottom left of the screen). This is made even more funny because he is overacting the way the turbulence is affecting his arms. Once I'd seen the shot of no wheel between his hands, I couldn't help but burst out laughing every time he tried to be serious about their situation. I can't remember where abouts it is though since I saw it on TV and didn't (wouldn't in hindsight) record it. The directing almost as bad as the acting. Just thought I'd mention it for those who like to laugh about how terrible some films are. 1/10, unless you rate it for its comic value.
