Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
turgeon_marc I rented this movie on video cassette i found this movie so boring that i started be be an aggressive man and i wanted to break my TV set apart. finally i couldn't leave things like that so i re-rent the movie and at that time i had a VCR that was able to do video and audio dubbing , for people who saw this movie they know that there were some flash video in this movies that reflect the mind of the guy talking i video dub every flashes with really hard action XXX movies snapshot and my action did a better movie and i sent back the movie to rent store maybe the reason of the good review of some people of that movie is because they have seen my version :)))) sorry for my bad English i'm french speaking
duanecatalyst2 Final Approach is a classic mind ride through your subjective consciousness. It centers around two main characters - really superb actors - who rely on each other so heavily that they become one. The process of question and answer is matched by imagination and guess work. While you watch this film you will constantly question why you have the patience to continue, yet, at the same time, it will hypnotize you into to being completely mesmerized. This wonderful film is a piece of movie art. My only concern is that this film is not available on DVD and so many a young fan of perfect cinema will never encounter what other cult-fans have experienced to be an enlightenment of the human imagination.
mark-pearce Don't listen to the pooh pooh brigade who read the front cover and think this was going to be top gun for the digital age. It is in fact a psychologically taut study of the human condition when stripped to the bones. Yes this could very easily be transported to the stage but this is not a detracting factor (resevoir dogs anyone). James Sikking is superb as Hal in a role that fits him as well as his great hill street blues days (he infuriates you but you still care for him). As the nightmarish scenario unfolds the claustrophobia rises and your choices of possible endgame's runs out of control. Then bang you make the final approach towards the undeniable conclusion. Shiver tingle damn that was the answer all along "i knew it, i think". Press rewind watch again with hindsight and clear vision this piece will unfurl like a flag before you. So lights off volume up and eyes peeled lets try and crack this confrontation before times up.
b250364 I actually rented this film just one lunchtime, to watch later that night, but when I put the film on to check it's quality, I ended up watching it all the way through to the end! In fact, I ended up with quite a shock when the ending came, because I thought I'd figured the plot out but was, in fact, way off line. Great acting by two fine actors, (Sikking & Elizondo, who is one of my favourite actors). OK, as far as sets go it could have been a stage play, but how would you show the events leading up to the air crash, and also Halsey's (Sikking) past life. The digital sound is superb and can give you quite a jolt at times as the sound FX are a good deal more dynamic than the dialogue. Some great low thumps from a good sub-woofer all the way through the film. The twist at the end is beautifully handled, and those people who got bored with this film really should watch it for the consciousness that it awakens in you. Maybe that's the way it really is, know one knows, but if it's someone like Hector Elizondo doing the 'remembering' bit, then I for one would be quite happy, as his 'shrink' technique was superb. Don't knock this little film, after all, everybody knocked Blade Runner and now it's a cult classic.
