lost-in-limbo If you want to see Steven Seagal in his prime… then don't watch "Flight of Fury". Quite the bottom-of-the-barrel, straight-to-DVD enterprise and around this period it would be no surprise. One uninspired effort after another. Not as bad as "Attack Force", but it's down there. In a training exercise an American pilot steals a high-tech top secret bomber and flies it to somewhere in Afghanistan to sell it to some terrorists known as the Black Sunday group. Wanting their plane back, they get former air force pilot John Sands who just recently escaped prison to find himself back in custody. He's offered his freedom if he completes his mission of retrieving the bomber behind enemy lines. "Flight of Fury" is a boring political action-joint, which gains much of its thrills from its sequences of aircraft combat (namely the exhilarating cat and mouse interplay between the Stealth and an F-16), outside of that it's the usual predictable marital arts or better put lack of it from our star. The stuntman was doing double time, as it looked like some scenes it had them doing the walking, other than just the hand-on hand combat. However Segeal (the expert he is) mans the plane (that's the high-tech stealth bomber which has a cloaking system) and he does look quite comfortable in that sitting position. Too bad for him he doesn't have much time in the cockpit… but he still finds ways to go about things in a casual manner and being rather blunt with his dialogues "That's amazing". You could say the stealth bomber is metaphor to Seagal… cunning, fast and graceful when in action with those encountering them not knowing what hit them. One thing though Seagal is indestructible… I don't about the bomber. "It's the ultimate weapon". What really gave me a laugh were the early sequences when he takes out some thugs in a convenient store, as he slides across the floor shooting a gun. It looked like he was rolling along on possibly a board?! Another hysterical moment would be the randomly thrown in lesbian sequence. Where was Seagel when this was happening? Actually hiding out in the same building, probably watching on. It was supposedly a distraction for him to get away. We know how much of a ladies man he is and how the young ladies melt over him. Maybe it because of his knife, no gun skills. Shooting without looking while holding an automatic machine gun in one hand with exact precision. What can he not do? Then again the editing does make him look good, as the director's tight handling flashes up the screen with many hazardous techniques, stock footage and numbing poses. "Rewind the security tape. You'll see it was self-deference."

jasmail99 Another typical (these days) monotone whispering, chubby stick up his ass walking wanna be action movie. The acting was lousy, the script was lousy and the cuts to stock military footage were lousy. The only good part was the brief gratuitous girl on girl scene and the many mistakes in the movie, which made it all the more laughable. My favorite is the scene where they cut the power to the electric fence. Who would ever put the control box on the outside of the fence? Or Segal stepping out of flying an SR-71 across the world wearing construction work boots? Or the nurse in the military hospital wearing a tight mini skirt? I could go on but you get the idea. If you want a movie that is mindless and maybe slightly more exciting than having jury duty...then this is the one for you!

daworldismine this is a decent little action flick for a quite night in, this time steven seagal has been sent to find a stolen stealth fighter, and as any good steven seagal movie does, he kicks ass, pure and simple steven seagal is still bad ass, sure he's got a little older, and put a bit of wheight on but he's still the most badass action hero out there, and while this movie is no classic, it delivers, it's an action movie, and you get plenty of it as seagal breaks necks, wrists, throws knives in ya through, this is good stuff, and definitely better than some of the movies he's bought out of recent times, and too me at least he proves here he's still got what it takes and is still the king of cool. bottem line it's a standard steven seagal movie if you like his movies, your gonna dig this, if you don't then you won't simple. but definitely recommended to seagal fans

Rooster First of all, f117 is not high tech any more and it is not a fighter aircraft.Secondly, the f14's and f18's cannot change their appearances; they are not transformers. Thirdly, the f16 has only one m61 cannon, not two. Last but not the least, at the end of the film, Seagle selected sidewinder missile. But somehow when he pulled the trigger, the actual missile fired turned out to be a maverick. As I have the experience of seeing f18's and f14's being mysteriously transformed into f16's, this small transformation of missiles is not a big surprise to me. However, there is still one question I have to ask: How did they manage to use an air to ground missile to shoot down a flying f16...When students hand in really bad work, teachers assign 0's. Now I think for the sake of properly marking this film, IMDb should seriously consider adding a '0/10' option. Otherwise, it is not fair for those who receive 1 out of 10...
