Goofs
Early in the film, the plane that's filmed landing in Panama is the Cessna 414 that was introduced later in the movie and is flown by another pilot. At this point the main character is flying his Piper Aerostar around Central America and it should have been used in this clip for consistency and accuracy of aircraft. See more »

I was lucky to get an advanced screening. First off, at least it kept my attention the whole way through. I had previously seen Cruise in the "Mummy" movie recently released and was not impressed with his acting there.
In this movie he returned to form and therefore the story-line was far more plausible. I say story-line, but in reality it is one of those docu-drama's, being based on fact. I wonder how much was dramatization as there were some parts where you would ask "did this sh*t really happen?!"
Would I be inclined to add it to my DVD collection, no. It was good as a one time showing. I suspect the length of it worked somewhat against it. A long movie needs to build up to a crescendo, and whilst this had lots of action it never seemed to hit that top note.
