Airspeed (1999)
1/10
Luckily I only wasted my time on the second half

Rated it 1 only because 0 not available. The girl is pathetically pathetic, the parents are pathetic, the tower crew is pathetic, the pilot of the tanker is pathetic. Ever seen a plane being refueled from the SIDE? The boom is strong enough to support a man? Why not send a pilot to land the crippled plane? Tanker planes don't need indicators or controls, or a co-pilot? I only saw the second half, so I had fun trying to figure out what happened; I speculated that everybody but the girl ate the fish. I expected Paul Ford to come in to talk her down, and fall out of the tower. I kept waiting for Steven Segal. I wanted Montegna to apologize for all the time away from home with the Bureau. I figured the girl would be as effective using the bat on the controls as she was on the boom. But the best part of all is the perfect stop, nowhere near the run-out area, even though the plane came in far too fast, and she took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to throttle back and pop the flaps. Thank somebody for great brakes. Movie must have been made with the intent of it being a tax shelter. If you have the choice, pick the swine flu--it would be less painful.
