SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

good back-story, and good acting
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

**SPOILERS**I remember watching the trailer and thinking, this seems legit! After watching the movie, the trailer was made to trick people into thinking those exact thoughts. While I still liked the concept, the best parts were involving the plane flying scenes, where there was little to no dialogue. I don't mind Andrew Keegan, he did a decent job, but some of his lines just made me cringe. The script was so poorly written and the editing job was horrible. There would be extended seconds added onto scenes that should have been cut that weren't, making the extension awkward. I also wondered if Nick Carter is that horrible of an actor or did the role call for him to be an over the top douche bag? His character was annoying and just made me think, honestly, who would hang out with this guy? I really couldn't decide what was worst, the acting or the screenplay. Some of the one-liners were just awful and the acting of the supporting cast was bad at best. I will admit though that the main drug cartel guy did a good job. I sadly was routing for him to shoot down the planes of the "good" guys. So all in all, I would not recommend this movie to anyone, except people who find planes and drug running fascinating. Once again, the concept was awesome, but the delivery of the movie fell short of the expectations the trailer teased!

I wish I could give this film a higher rating but I just can't, not only is the script horrible, the acting is OK at best. I saw this movie because Brandon Quinn is in it. I thought his performance in "Thirst" was very good, but in "Kill Speed" the lines the poor guy has to deliver are so awful I just cringed at times. The concept and plot of the movie are good as are the flying scenes but the acting is so bad (especially Christian Monzon) he is a breathtaking man but he needs to stay focused on his modeling career because acting is not his forte. When the most accomplished actor in your cast is Tom Arnold you should be concerned, very concerned. Skip this one, it's just that bad overall. I do want to say that I hope Brandon Quinn gets some better film roles because he has the talent i.e. Thirst, he just needs a good script.

I was fortunate to see this film at last year's AFM market in LA and I found this film to be very enjoyable. The flying scenes are the best I've seen since Top Gun as I've heard from producers that all of actors did their scenes while actually flying in the planes, something apparently never done before in any film. This film could be release in an IMAX theater the flying scenes are that good.The acting is solid, plot is well developed, you will be surprised by some of the cameos, and there are some funny scenes in this film.I highly recommend it as fun action adventure film and I would love to know where I can get a Blue Ray DVD!

I was interested in watching this movie after seeing the trailer. It seemed like a good, fast-paced action thriller, dealing with meth. Considering I am addicted to Breaking Bad, I thought it would be, at least, entertaining.The movie has some good elements, and they must have invested quite a bit of money in all of the flying scenes--and there are a lot of them. Unfortunately, this is the only part of the movie that is actually interesting, and well executed. The script seems to be written for a juvenile book, rather than as screenplay. Some jokes are just not the kind of things you would hear someone say, although they may look somewhat funny on paper. There were a couple of moments where I couldn't believe how bad some of the lines were. One of the things I will remember this movie for, is the particularly bad jokes the actors had to say. Since they invested so much into the flying scenes, why not spend some more time and effort into a good script? There were also some obvious technical mistakes with the lighting in some of the scenes, which showed a rather careless attitude towards delivering a polished product. While most of the flying scenes looked good; a lot of the police headquarters scenes looked very cheap. The police chief was good looking enough for an acting role, but; did not match at all, the persona or character required for such a role, nor did the snitch-girlfriend. One memorable moment is when he puts his foot up on the chair while cutting a deal with the main character. It was such an odd and seemingly uncomfortable position, filmed from such a bad angle, that it ruined any little credibility that scene could have produced. Very few of the cops looked like real cops, as they tried too hard to be tough; obviously not succeeding.Overall, it is a movie for teenagers that are not too critical on either the acting, script, special effects, or corniness of a situation (there were quite a few of those). From that perspective, it can actually be an enjoyable experience. But for a mature audience, this film simply will not work.However, it was a good idea, and I hope the Director takes advantage of the opportunity and learns from the mistakes made in this production, in order to not repeat them in the future.
