Airborne: Review

starstarstarstar
After international mercenaries swipe a deadly virus, America's elite Mach One Team is immediately enlisted to retrieve it. To do so, agents McNeil (Steve Guttenberg), Gemmel (Torri Higginson) and Cortez (Philp Akin) must land atop the getaway plane — in midair! Although McNeil and his cohorts accomplish their dangerous mission, US Intelligence suspects McNeil of being an inside man on the heist. After a bio-weapons thief named Toombs (Sean Bean) recaptures the killer toxin, slaying Cortez in the process, McNeil and Gemmel devise a daring scheme at the behest of their leader Ron Simpson (Colm Feore): In order to recover the lethal substance and flush out the guilty parties, they'll risk their reputations — and lives — by going under deep cover as renegades. Pursued by their own government, McNeil and Gemmel track down Toombs and — in a shocking revelation — his client; although the former meets his Maker, the latter threatens to unleash the virus. Oh, what a tangled web of technobabble, musty Cold War intrigue and sub-par special effects these filmmakers have woven! Too bad this dramatically inert action opus never gets off the ground. Relying on aerial exploits and tricky plot reversals rather than a careful build-up of suspense, the screenplay unfolds like strung together episodes of a TV action series. Worst of all is light-comedian-turned-action-hero-wannabe Guttenberg's studied performance; it's Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name as played by an actor with no shame. This fikm was shown on HBO before its US video release. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
