I am thinking this was supposed to come off as incredibly edgy and as a great dark comedy but it didn't. Cusack and Thornton have some decent back and forth.

Have seen it, remember nothing of it, will assume it was pretty bad.

Amusing and fairly entertaining, without doing anything extraordinary.

Two men go to war over Angelina Jolie. Understandably so.

Only John Cusack could make a film about air traffic controllers interesting. But he does it, and he has some help from his cast-mates Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie.

Not as funny or as cool as the individuals involved clearly thought it would be, but OK.

Kinda a boring film. It's listed as being solely a comedy, and I didn't laugh, either. I'd say it's a failure at what it was trying to do, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't have been great if the pieces would have come together better. Perhaps you can lay this on the feet of Mike Newell, but maybe not. Why this movie is so mediocre is probably just an enigma. I don't get it. You probably don't either. Fuck it. Let's just go masturbate to Cate Blanchett's nude scenes in Elizabeth.

Angelina Jolie raised the score about 20 points. Otherwise...a bit too dark for a comedy. Great acting all around, including Vicki Lewis from News Radio. I miss her.

Well... It's always fun to watch actors I like to watch, but I found this film to be rather forgettable... I think it's big interesting claim is that it's the one where Angelina and Billy Bob met. Or at least cemented their relationship...

Why does John Cusack ruin perfectly good movies? The main character just needed a kick in the balls the whole time.

The cool thing is getting macho posturing & game playing so well. The
dialogue is frequently perfect, & John's tortured position resonating. All the
same we are treated to a full helping of schmaltz at the end, and i was dying to
see John figure it out sooner so my own personal discomfort could end.

Good pace to the movie, and although some might not find it that interesting as a pilot I enjoy anything aviation-oriented ;)

Only really watched this for Angelina. Although as usual Cusack is good.

A whole lot better than I was expecting. Kind of edgy.

Nothing really memorable about this film at all. Some occasional laughs here and there but ultimately forgetable and mediocre.
