4/10

Admittedly a bit naff, leads were well played

The plot was rather confusing, and we're introduced to characters that seem like they'll be major but are only in one or two scenes, it's not a short film but seems to get very little done.

However, acting wise it's not bad at all; Richard Greene is fun as always and Eva Bartok puts up a surprisingly admirable performance as the stewardess. It's really a very bizarre film with a good exciting ending but really no substance to hold up the film. The characters are bland apart from the two leads and the plot really fails quite badly.

4/10: Difficult to enjoy, technically bad but has some fun parts.
