Brace for Impact (2016) Reviews
Made for TV Characters and Writing
What struck me oddest is the absolutely flatness of the characters. We're dealing with the death of a man who's sister narrowly missed getting on a plane that crashed and all of the people around him. No one really seems sad - his mother, his sister, his boyfriend or the large circle of friends that he has (and his sister seems to share). There is way too much brevity even in the scenes his sister visits the crash site while it is literally still smoking. The scenes of his sister trying to grieve are forced and insincere and her interactions with the people around her are plastic and the dialog is like a 'movie of the week'. The mother doesn't seem to be either happy that her daughter survived nor the fact that her son did not. The sets - the homes of the people involved and the offices - are also too perfectly staged. No one has clutter or personal mementos on display, the way our normal homes look. Phones and computers are always conveniently charged but never plugged in. I only made it through about the first 30 minutes and found so much alarmingly wrong that I couldn't watch more. The production seems okay and the actors might be good if not for such a 'carefully' written script. While others have commented with the number of gay characters, I found this okay, having been a "beard" for a number of friends. I didn't get through enough to comment on the Muslim characters.
TV Movies passed off on Netflix as a real movie
Netflix has this out under the title "Brace for Impact" which apparently has been the title of about a million other movies. Anyway, we get our heroine who is afraid of flying and is in a support group to conquer her fears. They take a flight and it crashes but not before our heroine senses something and gets off just before take-off, leaving her gay brother on board to die. THEN, we discover that she is in fact an FBI agent who is the LEAD INVESTIGATOR for crashes! Kind of like an Admiral who is afraid of water! It seems that everybody back at FBI HQ in Quantico knows her as a hothead who gets entirely too involved in her work but hey, she is just dedicated, right? It appears that she is always on some kind of forced vacation to cool off but that does not stop her from leaning on her co-workers for access to information so that she can indeed continue to investigate or from using them for sex just to take the edge off of a busy day. She has a mother too, who seems to know her all too well and who also had some kind of problem with the gay brother being gay and the idea of meeting his "widower" is nauseating to mom but in a miraculous 180, she embraces the guy with no hesitation whatsoever. It helps that the dead sibling haunts his sister - I guess. Our heroine has a variety of FBI co-workers, some Muslim for example, to let us know that Muslims are good - like gay men (who as usual in movies are handsome and virile and totally at ease and leave you with that "what a waste" taste in your mouth). She originally catches the boyfriend breaking into her dead brother's place (since he did not have key (hmm)) and who the dead brother had even already broken up with and never even mentioned on the ill- fated flight. Apparently, the deceased broke up with him "all the time." But it was great having a boyfriend "everybody wanted" even if it was a bore having to shoo them all way - all the time. I wish I could say how the movie turned out but I could not take another minute of this stupidity.
Strange flick
What an odd movie. Sofia, the lead character, has to be the most annoying character ever. You are supposed to believe she is a dedicated, top notch investigator. But in reality, she's a workaholic, meddling, busy body that assumes everything is a conspiracy and will go to whatever lengths to prove she is right, no matter how unethical or illegal. If this were a true story, she would have been fired and/or arrested 30 minutes into the movie. The movie had potential but it goes woefully off track. Another Netflix special that is best avoided.
Propaganda movie
Here's the movies plot: 1. Americans are bad. 2. Government agencies are evil. 3. Muslims don't commit terrorism and are unfairly targeted. 4. If you get to know a homosexual, you will like them. 5. Men are evil and woman are saints. Goebbels couldn't have produced a better piece of worthless propaganda. Apparently in this NWO of political correctness, the bad guys are good and the good guys are bad. Instead of just making this a who-done-it movie, the producers felt the moral obligation to inject their ideology into it. Hard to judge whether this could have been a good movie or not because of their preaching. The most glaring defect of the movie is the fact that the "hero" of the movie commits numerous felonies, but, that is apparently insignificant since the end justify the means.
Hooray for dumb sh...
This woman is supposed to be a top notch investigator, but manages to blow up a house full of evidence by accidentally spilling a chemical while snooping around. If you love dumb movies like I do, this one is gold.
