In reading the synopsis for this film, I was under the assumption that this would be highly filmed in the sky but unfortunately, most of it is in the ground, in the office, in a courtroom and in men's clubs. You got an all-star cast of well-known British character actors and a few intense scenes involving possible disaster in the sky. But a lot of the conversation is psychological study or legal mumbo jumbo, and not everybody will find that fascinating.
So what I enjoyed in this film was seeing actors like Bernard Lee, Peter Cushing, George Sanders, Andre Morrell and Gordon Jackson, while Michael Craig and Elizabeth Seal provide the romance which is often distracting even if their conversations are plot related. The American title gives the indication that this is going to have a lot more action than it does, so if you view it utilizing the British original title as your guide of what the theme will be, you'll understand the message of its direction. I truly enjoyed the photography though, particularly the shot of a giant plane shot from its underbelly.
