Review of Flight of the Phoenix (2004) by Paladin Of Odin — 23 Nov 2008

This was on late night T.V. after a footbal final that, yes... I did watch when after a second wind and an Australian actress in Miranda Otto on the cast. I ended up rivited to the end in a succession of small catastrophes along the way of a extreem conditions survival film. Quaid plays both the Older mature captain and the hot shot looked up to by fellow character and when put in an equal terms situatuion like this relishes in fact of submission to a chain of command helps with order and efficiency but groveling dosn`t go astray .. not to much. Death and dissapointment coinside with the silent pause for moral in 'kill or be killed' plus merciless fact in mercifull killing.

Pretty good from the production team too. for location shots, allmost artistic.
