Goofs

When the Helicopter is attacked by the MIG-21 fighter jet, it avoids the missiles by just outmaneuvering them as if they are rockets fired in a straight trajectory.

This is highly unlikely as the jet would fire either heat-seeking missiles or radar guided missiles which are highly maneuverable.

User Reviews

A boring mess of an action flick

There is precisely one action scene in the movie which happens in the first 15 minutes after that it's boring exposition, Lazy Acting, and a few scenes that should qualify as action scenes but they're so dull and boring since you don't care about the characters and barely anything exciting happens anyways.

Jk Simmons performance is the only redeeming quality that nonetheless still does not save this shitty movie.

Don't watch it unless you want to get bored.
