As someone who is not an experienced movie critic, I don't know all the elements a review should have, but I will try to hit the high spots. Normally I expect a movie to have character development. I don't think we know substantially more at the end of the movie than we did after the first ten minutes. Normally I expect a movie to have a plot, and for there to be plot development. A few twists and turns help derail watchers and cause them to continue thinking, but this movie has only one plot development, and that happens at the end when there is not enough time left in the movie to adjust. I am not big on movies where the characters spend the entire movie in one room. This movie could have been a stage play except for some flashes of SR71 trivia. Also I am not a big fan of movies where you are kept waiting for something to occur that justifies the time already invested at any point. I did laugh once at the end of the movie when I learned the name of the receptionist. I guess my last comment is that if you feel an interest in watching this movie, maybe it would be best to do so alone, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having to explain to a friend or loved one why you recommended this for them.

Final Approach is a very different movie and people with the thrill-a-minute attitude will never get it. The sound effects in this movie are incredible for their day. There are hundreds of different effects to tantalize your ears. The entire point of the movie will be come apparent to everyone in the final seconds of the movie. The litmus test is to see when someone watching the movie for the first time says "Ah Ha! I understand what is happening...." Those who get to the end of the movie without getting it should be allowed to return to their 7-11 night manager job and you should talk to them later.I suggest this movie to anyone who likes to watch movies where at least some thought is required.

Anyone who calls this film "boring" or "a disappointment" is merely indicating their lack of intelligence and ability to work with a film. If you want the kind of movie where you leave your brain at home and stuff your face with popcorn then go rent any one of a million sh*t hollywood blockbusters, this film is poignant, touching and clever, with a brilliant script (perfectly executed by the two main characters) and a stunning soundtrack. Every frame is beautifully lit, framed and designed. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to be slated for a DVD release, which would give the viewer the ultimate aural experience intended in the original release. If you want to know what it's about, i can only sum up with the words of Dr.Peterson....."...it's about life"Breathtaking!

This movie was so strange, so very hard to follow, and made practically no sense at all, until the very end. The premise was actually unique, but it took so long to get to it, though two hours of fairly boring dialogue and scattered flashes of scattered scenes. I wondered why I had never heard of this movie. I am surprised that either Sikking or Elizondo would have been involved in this picture, but then again, like many pictures, the script might have looked good, and the fault is in the final editing production. Miss this one if you haven't seen it. It would have been a much better book.
