Embarassing cringe-worthy nonsense
By Sandy Wilkinson from Fife, Scotland , 29 Sep 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
With a top cast and a budget larger than the national income of an African nation, I popped Flight of the Phoenix into the DVD player, releaxed back into my chair and waited to be impressed. Nevertheless, 'the best laid plans o'mice an' men gang aft a-gley'. Two hours of my life, which might better have been employed doing almost anything else, were spent watching one of the most cringeworthy films ever made. Scott Frank, the screenwriter, should shoulder much of the blame - the plot was 'flimsy', the characters 'two-dimensional' and the dialogue - well that was just embarassing. In short, it looks as if the writer of The Interpreter, mind-melted with an 8 year-old.
Avoid this film at all costs. You'll just encourage them.- Was this review helpful to you?

(326)Bit poop
By gianino (618 reviews) from London , 01 Mar 2013Ok I like Dennis (still hot for an old man) and Tyrese who is awesome and a very hot baby, and Giovanni Ribisi who is a very good actor and quite cute at times....plus Jared Padalecki is in this and he is a babe. However, this is not enough. The plot is flat and it's bit boring really. However, as I said before some of the boyz are hot...Tyrese in particular so at least there is something- Was this review helpful to you?

By 44Marvin (2 reviews) , 08 Jan 2013Very average, not enough action by modern standards.

not as good as the original...
By lastengland (81 reviews) from Winchester , 07 Mar 2012but James Stewart was much better. Still this wasn't that bad as remakes go........as for Tony Curran why is it he has the same fate in all the films I have seen him in - bit like Peter O'Toole!!!
Some bits were abit far fetched - would you go wondering off in the middle of the night in a desert not knowing where you were going just for a pee!!!!
The ending knowing what each survivor got up to was a good way to end the film - no sequel!- Was this review helpful to you?

Plight of the Phoenix
By Robinski (152 reviews) from Glasgow , 11 Jun 2011Decent adventure story, with good performances by the cast, Giovanni Ribisi is probably the stand out, but there's nothing here to suggest it was worth while remaking the original, which is raised out of the ordinary by the sublime James Stewart.- Was this review helpful to you?
