I wasn’t sure what to expect from this film before I viewed it. The idea was very interesting, but I didn’t know how realistic building another plane would be. I am glad that my doubts were proved wrong. Flight of the Phoenix serves as a solid action movie. The movie accurately depicts how I would expect normal, non superhero or superhuman people to react in the situation. The movie made a point to show viewers how building another plane was actually feasible, whether or not it could be done in those conditions. Another interesting characteristic of the film is how it was written to make viewers actually despise one of the heroes until the end. This flick is not Dove approved, but I recommend its viewing for older audiences.
While its understandable how foul language would be used in the life crisis depicted in the movie, other words can still be used by producers to get across the same point. If not for the language, I would recommend for a younger crowd because I feel they would enjoy it very much. There are some scenes with violence, mostly gunfire and a couple men being shot. A good movie for those not language sensitive. S: Scene where two men are making fun of the Clinton-Lewinsky situation with sexual innuendos.
