Stealth

This high-action flight movie centres on a team of three sexy stealth bomber pilots who are forced to fly with EDI (Extreme Deep Invader), a computer-manned prototype plane that specialises in extra-precision bombing. The brainchild of a Bill Gates-esque wunderkind (Richard Roxburgh), EDI has the ability to learn at a fantastic rate, talks like HAL from 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY, and likes to listen to hard rock before going into combat. Before long, a freak accident causes it to question authority and launch an attack on Russia. W.D. Richter's script probes big issues involving man, machine, and the nuclear fate of the free world (Read: DR. STRANGELOVE meets THE TERMINATOR). But this is also an action thrill ride from Rob Cohen the man responsible for THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and XXX replete with some truly tremendous explosions and speeds that outdo any mph records set in Cohen's past oeuvre. Jessica Biel (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) is tough and surprisingly believable as the token female fighter pilot, while Jamie Foxx (RAY) makes a fine wingman to the daredevil squadron leader played by Josh Lucas. Sam Shephard (THE RIGHT STUFF) is their commanding officer, with Joe Morton playing a shady politician.

    Don't Bother Disengaging Your Brain...

    ...you need a lobotomy to watch this.

    Poor, obvious plot, bad dialogue, wooden acting and terrible direction.....and they're the high points. The action shots are full of cheap camera and CGI tricks with an appalling amount of goofs in every scene.

    I also lost count of the number of rip-offs this film makes, 'Top Gun' (obviously), 'Flight of the Navigator' (I kept waiting for the EDI to say 'Compliance'), '2001' ('I'm sorry Dave, I can't allow you to do that'), even had the flavour of 'Team America - World Police', but without the humour (Did he say Tajikistan or Durkadurkistan!). I sure you'll come up with your own too.

    All in all a truly terrible film. Should've gone straight to DVD and into the bargain bin.

    Wait for it to come on TV...

    ... and even then only watch it if there's nothing else on. Really, nothing. You would have more fun watching teletext.

    The first half of the film is like a cross between Top Gun and Firefox, the second half adds a hint of Behind Enemy Lines. Yes, all decent films. Unfortunately, it looks as if all 3 films were playing on TV at the same time with a 5 year old flicking between channels. His little mind merged them into one and, using his favourite crayons, came up with the script for Stealth. And then some idiot decided to make it!

    Fantastic Mr Foxx

    • 24 Nov 2009

    Is there anything Jamie Foxx can’t do? If he hasn’t directed yet, you can bet it’s only a matter of time because it seems everything he’s ever put his mind to, he’s been wildly successful. To state the obvious: he’s an Oscar winner (best actor, for Ray). He’s notched up number one albums and singles. And he first came to public attention as a stand-up comedian – a career that led him to the hit TV series In Living Color, alongside the Wayans... Read more
