I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Ever since Steven Seagal entered his "Fat Elvis" period his fans have had a lot to groan about. But the enjoyment of these direct to video, low budget, foreign made movies is dependent on, as a Seagal fan, would you rather he retire and therefore be remembered in his prime, or continue to work with results such as this? It is a conundrum.So if you are in the latter, here goes. This has a lot of stock footage of stealth aircraft and such and some hand to hand mostly shot in close ups, with some striking knife scenes. Quite a few gun battles with squibs that are not bad. Seagal again whispers his way through the thing, also using some voice-dubs but he does look a bit thinner in this one.If you are in the former category (those for retirement) this is another reason to make your case. There is only a pale remainder of his once sleek and smooth style, and the production values and talent in these DTV releases are almost always forgettable at best, and painful to watch at worst. Flight of Fury falls somewhere in the middle of this stuff, so go for it or keep your fond memories.

Not only script way to lame, story like bunch of ripoff from other movies,and since when in Afghanistan talking in Arabic! writer of this film not even used Google to check accuracy! official language in Afghanistan is Pashto not Arabic.wrong outfit for afghans militia! dude at least watch news once a year! to see what they wear!second its not Gulf of Arabia it's (PERSIAN GULF).and generals talk w/o codes and talk like he lost his dog or something!and lower rank officer question his Superior Commander.in general not even worth watching its 1:34:06 waste of time!

He's Back! Barely two months after "Attack Force"! The plot, which is a ripoff of a Michael Dudikoff movie by the way ("Black Thunder")... is about John Sands (The Big Man) who has to stop a renegade pilot from giving a powerful jet plane to "Romanian Russians" (?).The good news is that this is a step up from "Attack Force", which is great, and it looks like Seagal was trying. The bad news is that he's still fat, and using ADR voice-overs. This movie is chock, and I mean chock full of stock footage from other movies like "Stealth Fighter" and "Black Thunder". The "script" even uses the same names. Every aerial shot is mismatched.There's some good action and explosions toward the end, and Seagal's one liner is "Hell Yeah" which is funny. My life is complete.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

Steven Seagal movies have never been Oscar material but with each passing release they get worse and worse.This one starts with Seagal getting picked up by the FBI because he killed a few people 'in self defence' he's active military so is saved from jail to rescue a stolen Stealth plane that will be used by the cliché 'evil English villain' that Hollywood is so obsessed with including these days.Suffice to say the film has terrible dialog that is almost always delivered with a hefty topping of cheese and lack of acting talent. The story isn't interesting and there are segments of it which make absolutely no sense and do not add anything to the story, characters of movie as a whole such as the 'lesbian' interaction between the two main females in the cast which is there purely for titilation to get viewers and yet isn't even titilating just confusing as it makes no sense as to why it happened when it didn't need to.In short a terrible script with bad dialog, delivered by sub-par actors, boring and at times badly choreographed action scenes, and non-relevant parts that only serve to achieve the near-impossible and make the movie even worse.Save 98 minutes of your life and give this miss, even if you are Seagal's most ardent fan.
