An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a pretty cool cast, I was quite eager to check this movie. Indeed, a movie involving John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie would be quite an event nowadays but, back then, it was actually hardly noticed. Eventually, it is a rather odd movie dealing with air traffic controllers which gave you the feeling it was rather schizophrenic and didn’t know what it was actually really about. The point is that all the details about the air traffic controllers were actually quite convincing and pretty neat but all the romantic intrigues involving the actors I mentioned before where rather underwhelming. I mean, it was fun to see the movie during which Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie fell in love (they would marry each other soon after for 3 years) but not much more than that, I’m afraid. Unsurprisingly, this movie was a flopped when it was released but I can’t say I was surprised but I think it is a shame because the whole thing really had some potential. To conclude, even though the whole thing was a rather odd mix, I still think it is worth a look though.
