The team, lead by Commander Bill McNeil (Steve Guttenberg), boards the thieves' plane midflight and recovers the virus.

Wow... this is the kind of movie that makes you wonder who's idea this was and what soup kitchen are they eating at now. To say this was bad is an insult to the bad movies we all know and love.When I saw Guttenberg's name in the TV guide I figured it would be a spoof... maybe it should have been. Could have made for a better movie.Look for the scene where they are in an airplane in mid flight with the door open and there is no wind what so ever. They could have sprung for a fan at least.Look for several Canadian & c-list actors in the movie. This is the kind of movie that litters the b-rate cable stations you never watch except on a rainy Sunday.

This film tries very hard to be an "action" film, but it fails miserably.Steve Guttenberg plays the head of an elite counter-terrorist team that fails (?) in attempt to keep a mysterious group from stealing a deadly nerve agent.The story...the acting...the special effects...ALL FALL FLAT!!!Definitely A MUST AVOID!!!!

Perhaps I'm being somewhat rash commenting on this film when I only saw the last 10 minutes of it on TV. However I felt compelled to warn anybody out there who might be tempted to rent this film - don't. For a start it stars Steve Guttenburg - this itself is no crime, however when the film is made in 1998, and not 1988 , this point becomes more pertinent. For a star who abandoned the police academy series because of dropping standards (tell me if I'm wrong here) it would seem he intended to go on and further his career with quality films. Well, it would seem not. From what I could glean from the climax of the film, there's a killer virus, cunningly contained in a glass container for maximum safety -which our hero Steve must reclaim from the evil Sean Bean. *SPOILER* (although to be honest I dont think there's much to spoil) Cue a daredevil jumping from car to plane taxiing along a runway sequence (gosh, thats never been done before) , with crap stunts (you wouldn't want to spoonerise those two wordS) and a thoroughly predictable ending that... Oh dear

This movie was terrible . Steve Guttenburg was okay , but the rest of the cast were terrible . This movie tries to be a high octane action film , but fails big time .Avoid like the plague .
