This is one of that strange breed of films - the cliche ridden, made for TV that also happens to be fantastically entertaining!
No scenes of tedious plot exposition and no dead-weight back story dragging it down, just a damn fine airplane disaster flick with genuine excitement and a likeable cast.
Good work fellas!
