A psychotic American pilot helps Palestinian terrorists in a major mass murder attempt at the Superbowl.
I watched this for the second time in order to correct a possible former misjudgment but it is really a problematic film -- unnecessarily long and featuring one of those de rigueur agent-with-a-conscience-crisis interludes. Of course there are a few plot implausibilities too, beginning with the premise itself; also, it has one of the most excruciatingly annoying sequences ever: the Israeli guy repeatedly trying to attach a hook on the top of a balloon. On the positive side, it has several other well-filmed action sequences, making good use of the wide screen; on the acting department you can't go wrong with Dern, and Keller's performance is fantastic; Shaw defends himself from the absurdity of his character by not conveying any emotion.
