Surprisingly good
At first sight the movie could seem disappointing as the story is rather lame and the acting performance average but the impressive visual of the aerial stunts and the very realistic flights' scenes more than make it up in this french action movie which actually turns out surprisingly good. This is no match to Top Gun even 20 years after but it is definitely entertaining and pleasant to watch; with so much of the focus being on the planes more than on the actors or the plot i would also strongly recommend it to military / airplanes fans. I would give it a 3.5 mark.
Spiffy.
I will admit the acting is not of the highest quality. But the cinematography is superb. love the plot. False flag terror being quite an interesting subject for me. The real stars of this movie is the collection of mirage 2000 jets.
