Review of Mayday (2005) by H S — 21 Dec 2018
Mayday is a first-rate airplane disaster thriller.
Not a run of the mill airplane in crisis movie. It has an undercurrent of serious themes about the disposability of civilians by the military, and the disposability of customers by a private company.
Dean Cain is a believable villain who only wants to protect his career after a military experiment goes awry.
Aidan Quinn is a believable any-man who steps-up and performs heroically when faced with catastrophe.
Excellent supporting cast.
High quality special effects considering the limited budget of a TV movie.
The movie has legs. As entertaining today as when it aired in 2005.
Highly recommended.
