Comments: This thing Blocks a few Busters for sure. Everything but the script is 5 stars
The best part of it for me was the soundtrack and sound design. PLEASE somebody tell me what the piece of music is that is used in this clip I'm pretty sure whoever does that music also does a piece used later in the film. Also, much of the sound design is blunt but works, and gets extra points for the bluntness Anyway, this is a really well executed film except for the face-palming coincidences that serve to feed the melodrama. It's so Hollywood, at a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson level. There's a few snippets of dialog that are brute force Korean, which are cool, funny and welcome, and I suppose you can give credit where credit is due for the talent to write a script where the wife of the cop (Song Kang-ho say no more) who's going to get to the bottom of things happens to be on the plane that's going down, or the passenger who's going to take over the flight made a crucial decision earlier in his career that resulted (not causally) in the wife of the current Captain getting killed, and on and on and on with shit like that When they identify the culprit on the plane mid flight he attempts to "run away" and nobody laughs The ending couldn't land at the pace of the rest of the film so it's way weenie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTpjLF1ywbo https://letterboxd.com/sitenoise/film/emergency-declaration/ Summary: After a terror incident occurs mid-flight, a passenger jet declares an emergency. |
