Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: C --
Essentially 'Sully' without the nuance, a throwback to the disaster-movie formulas of pre-'Airplane!' days.

One Guy's Opinion
A corny but enjoyable disaster flick which makes up for what it lacks in polished CGI with a rattling pace and plenty of bracingly authentic scenes of screaming passenger panic.

Screen International
[I]t compels our attention with a remorseless, gripping single-mindedness, presenting Naziism as a communicable disease that smothers conscience, paralyzes resistance and extinguishes all shreds of humanity.
New York Times
Though riddled with wobbly dialogue and wafer-thin characters, this patriotic thriller is easy enough to enjoy if you don't look too closely.

Variety
Rating: 2/5 --
Much like any real-life flight, it all takes unnecessarily long to get going, with the viewer subjected to an extraneous series of safety checks and procedures, there to absolve our plucky crew of the freak events that follow.

One thing that’s not ambiguous is Schwentke’s commentary on how Willi Herold’s story, and the rise of the Nazi Party in general, reflect our current political moment. -- Grade: B

Product Description:
German director Robert Schwentke's historical docudrama is based on the true story of illi Herold, a WWII war criminal known as the Executioner of Emsland. Max Hubacher stars as the notorious imposter who used a Nazi captain's uniform for abhorrent ends. He thoroughly abused his newfound authority by dispensing a sadistic brand of justice on the German army deserters and prisoners at an Emslandlager camp.
