Air Strike (2003)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I am watching this crap of film on TV and can not believe that some American film company can make this kind of film.Bad scenes of action,film with name "Air strike" without ANY real action war scene with helies?Even uniforms doesn't look like American!!Action is placed in imagined country name Petrovia?!What???Same animated scenes of helicopters in battle repeated several times...This film is insult for intelligence of average person.I really would like to see the budget for this film and how much money did it earned.I am still so shocked that I caught myself in serious thinking to contact the director or writer of screenplay,or even company which made this film with kindliest ask:Don't make this rubbish anymore!!!!Please!!!

This is one of the cheesiest movies i have ever seen. They takes lines through out the movie from great movies like Top Gun, Comanche, and Fire Birds. The flight scenes are the worst I have ever seen in a movie looking like they used R/C Helicopters to do most of the stunts. How much did it take to make this movie? Couldn't have been much. As far as the ground stunts and explosions looks to much like computer generated. The actors did an OK job for who they are. If movie where to be remade i would spend a lot more money. Also it shows in the movie that the military was not consulted very much or they probably would not have signed off. Just goes to show that anybody with a little bit of money can try to make a movie although not a very good one

I love bad movies, and the moment the babe bad-ass pilot arrived, with a nickname like "Charlie", I smelled a pearl.The stock shots from old Pentagon tapes don't mix with the scenery, the Americans act like lapdogs the the "Petrovian" military commander... "I give the orders, you obey" but I can understand. The guy is a cheap Dr Strangelove, wheelchair and cigarettes included.Also highly-trained, expensively-trained pilots join ground missions, and if someone says no the bad-ass babe pilot says "If you don't allow me I'll ask my father, General whatever". Yeah, right. US Army, just like Junior High.The hero, of course, takes a Rocky Balboa-grade beating, but is ready to beat the two main villains, with his bare hands. Oh, they do that in a cage, in the middle of their Evil Compound, but NOBODY is watching. Of course the hero does not kill the villain, who killed his brother (great and original plot device) and flees.Best part is: The hero is escaping, after a few "let's blow the villain's drug stash" and "let's blow the villain American dollars stash". Yes, now I know the "writer" watched Lethal Weapon. He shots a few thousand henchmen, direct from Imperial Troopers Marksman School. After the last two, he run out of bullets. He IGNORES the 1644 guns dropped around the massacre area, pulls a biiiig fracking machete, and starts to slaughter the other 544 remaining henchmen. Those are helpful enough to simply run towards the hero, holding their Ak-47s. I know, even the things that grown in my bellybutton would simply stay away and hose down the guy with hot lead, but he's the hero, come on.Did I told you the hot bad-ass babe pilot goes to his rescue and of course is captured by the villain #2, in a split-second...Oh, the villain killed HER brother too.After a Mexican stand-off between a guy holding a hot bad-ass babe pilot (and a pistol) and a guy 10 meters away holding a big knife, the villain #2 makes the hero drop the knife. He does, but holds a small cute kitchen knife on his back. The villain #2 (oh, surprise!) points the gun towards the hero, who throws the knife, carving it from, well, 100feet right in the villain #2 forehead (apply directly to the forehead! apply directly to the forehead! Now I know what it means).The villain #1 arrives, shoots the hero and goes away. Yes, he wanted the guy pretty dead, but could not point the gun to the hot bad-ass babe pilot and waste her, too. Also he never wondered about... flak vests. Neither did she, because the hot bad-ass babe pilot forgot about the guy who killed her brother, and started to sob and cry and yell "don't die please don't die I need you you can't be dead don't die!" The villain #1 flees, and think as a real mastermind: "the area is surrounded by US Army choppers, I'm in a forest, that I know like the back of my hand. Should I simply use one of my 332 safehouses and wait things cool down or should I jump into my tiny little cheap chopper bought on an Airwolf surplus sale" Meanwhile...A big Apache chopper lands, near the hero and the babe pilot. The Apache pilot does what every single pilot loves to do: Handles his 40 gazillion dollars chopper to the couple.I don't need to mention that the villain #1 is also a bad-ass pilot.And the little thing makes turns around the Apache.They only manage to kill the guy when they decide to use ANOTHER useful resource: The Angry Rant While Firing.The hero says "that's for killing my brother Sam!!" and fires the canon The babe says "that's for killing MY brother Jim!" and press the trigger, showing another Apache firing the rockets, a kind of gun with 0% of chance of downing another helicopter unless it's parked and marked with a big "aim here to blow this thing".The best part is when they arrive at the base. The extras surround them, and start a chant "USA! USA!". It's not only cheesy, it's hilarious.I'm not American (d'oh!) but I don't mind American patriotism when it's part of the plot. I've got goosebumps from the President's speech in Independence Day (go ahead, sue me) but hey, COME ON. Even Rambo never chanted "USA! USA!". Not even Chuck Norris. (But he could, of course) Oh, the couple of heroes start to french-kiss and talk about their honeymoon, while the extras chant their patriotic mantra.The film is so wrong, is so bad, I only recommend it if you're really into trash movies. Otherwise stay away. Really. As a friend, I beg you.

Sometimes movies about the military are so bad it makes me want to put on a turban, this is one of them. Air Strike is a story of how a US Air Force team loses two great pilots on a mission and spends the rest of the movie bombing the shyt out of the drug cartel responsible.Every cliché you can think of is in this movie. Guy's brother dies so he comes out of retirement to take his place (even though he hasn't flown in years and can just simply hop a plane) and avenge him, female pilot gets heckled for being a female and calls them on it, guy falls in love with female and everyone sees it coming, and my favorite....guy breaks out of prison and proceeds to take out 30 guys single handedly armed with barely anything.The movie has some decent flight patterns from the different type of planes, but the overall part is so horrible that not even the actual air strikes within the movie could wake the crowd up. Lastly, I din't know knocking off drug cartels was a major accomplishment, so why did they chant USA! USA! at the end? I don't see police officers chanting USA after giving someone a speeding ticket. That mission was purely personal and no one was going to read about it so why make it seemed like they dropped the A bomb on Hiroshima? There are no highlights to this movie, that's how bad it is....1 out of 10
