The only positive thing to be said about this movie is that it is only 92 minutes long
Die Hard has a lot to answer for.Ever since the game-changing action movie arrived, Hollywood has been chasing its tail trying to recreate that lightning-in-a-bottle set-up. Sometimes they got pretty damned closed, with Die Hard-on-a-bus and Die Hard-on-a-warship . They've also often fallen far short of the mark , but rarely has the simplistic target of"Die Hard-on-a-X" been missed by this much.
JJ Collins has just been assigned here, having had her much better position taken away from her after she accused a commanding officer of sexual harassment.On her very first day on the station - no, within the very first ten minutes of her first day - a group of terrorists manage to kill pretty much everyone else on board, with the goal of destroying the interceptor's capabilities, allowing sixteen stolen Russian nuclear missiles to completely destroy USA.
Everything looks blank and cheap, with the entire film playing out across three sets: a hallway, the main control room, and a different hallway. Sometimes the movie tries to mix it up by giving us flashbacks to Collins' backstory with her abusive commanding officer, but you'll really wish it wouldn't, as it hamfistedly tries to parallel this with the plot about total nuclear annihilation.
Fans of Hemsworth might already know that Pataky is his real-life wife, but then the end credits start to roll, and we see Hemsworth is also the executive producer of this movie.
