Airborne (1998)
This film is pants
11 November 1999
Warning: Spoilers
Perhaps I'm being somewhat rash commenting on this film when I only saw the last 10 minutes of it on TV. However I felt compelled to warn anybody out there who might be tempted to rent this film - don't. For a start it stars Steve Guttenburg - this itself is no crime, however when the film is made in 1998, and not 1988 , this point becomes more pertinent. For a star who abandoned the police academy series because of dropping standards (tell me if I'm wrong here) it would seem he intended to go on and further his career with quality films. Well, it would seem not. From what I could glean from the climax of the film, there's a killer virus, cunningly contained in a glass container for maximum safety -which our hero Steve must reclaim from the evil Sean Bean. *SPOILER* (although to be honest I dont think there's much to spoil) Cue a daredevil jumping from car to plane taxiing along a runway sequence (gosh, thats never been done before) , with crap stunts (you wouldn't want to spoonerise those two wordS) and a thoroughly predictable ending that... Oh dear
