Air Speed (1999)

I am a firm believer in family films. This is certainly one of them. I could write a college dissertation on all the mistakes. It makes the TITANIC mistakes look non existent. However, I do think parts of it were great and over all it seemed wonderful to see a family film that didn't have adult themes in it. I felt that the father played by Joe Mantegna, the Air Traffic Controller played by Jeff Powell and of course Nicole, the hero, played by Elisha Cuthbert all did an ou statnding job. Especially Elisha in one of her first movies. The only swearing I even heard was Nicole, as the plane was landing yells OHHHHH SH....and they cut to a different scene. However, any child over the age of 5 knows what she really said. My biggest problem with the movie ha d nothing to do with mistakes, well except in hiring the wrong actress. The mother, to me , was a mother from hell. Her screaming reminds me of fingernails on a chalkboard. I think If I were Nicole I would rebel too, or at least get my Dad to run away. The worst part was the mother constantly asking if Nicole had been rescued when there was no way for Jeff (the ATC) to possibly know. In addition if anyone had heard Nicole (of course parents never listen to teenagers(, they would know that she said several times that she could get people off faster if she helped.All in n for a family film I give it 4 stars., but I hope the mother never worked in a family film again.

THe first time I saw this movie I was in middle school, it amazed me of how a 13 year old girl did what she did to land her Father's private jet in the middle of a crisis. The control panel was damaged, there was a big hole in the wall of the cabin, everybody on board was unconscious, and no one knew what to do so it was up to this young girl Nicole Stone to lead them to safety. A big CONGRATULATIONS on Elisha Cuthbert on her amazing role in the movie Air Speed, she did a great job and I hope to see more of her movies to come.

I saw the movie on tv ,I liked the plot and and actors was a really good movie. I'm very satisfied. Thank for having it in your DVD line up. Delivered in good time.

Excelente película

A really HOKEY movie that couldn't be true. A 13-y/o girl has to pilot a plane and her foot actually reaches the brake pedal!! Her cell phone battery goes out and she has no instructions on how to land the plane!! A really stupid movie. We aren't keeping this one, to watch again.

Don't listen to any of the putdowns about this movie, it is suspenseful and one great movie, Elisha Cuthbert does a fantastic job. I purchased this for my granddaughter and like it so much I'm going to buy another copy for myself. It is a movie the whole family can watch and enjoy.

ok

This is a good B rated movie. I really like this movie though. It's worth watching. It's really hard to find, other then on DVD.
