Air Panic Reviews
When Bollywood tries to make a Hollywood movie.
the movie kept me engrossed. Not for the reasons you may think. You see, I am from India, from Hyderabad to be specific. And it seems this movie was shot in India and in Hyderabad in particular. a 200% B Grade movie if there ever was one. The 'H-Tech' building at madhapur is shown as "FAA Building" , cheesy models and even cheesier special effects. Every second actor or extra is an Indian, and almost 90% of the crew mentioned in the end titles are indians.
Stupid movie plot (well actually may not be stupid) but the execution is right down criminal. Is there a category called Z Grade movie?
I'LL STAY ON TERRA FIRMA
B-movies of our time are not all that different from those wonderful B-movies of the 50s and 60s. Take one hunky hero (Rod Rowlands, a marvelous actor---check out SOULKEEPER); a beautiful airline attendant T3's Kristina Lokken); a nasty nasty villain; a planeload of stereotypical passengers; and throw in some cheesy special effects. This is AIR PANIC, and I thoroughly enjoyed it for the above reasons. Also add veteran actors Ted Shackelford and Barbara Carrera, and you know you're in for a good B-flight.
In all honesty, this movie works because it attacks your visceral level of being terrified when the plane you are on goes a little wacky. Not a cinematic classic, but I found it engrossing and entertaining.
