SONIC IMPACT is another cheap and cheesy thriller from bargain bin director Rodney McDonald. The story is once again about criminals hijacking a plane and those on board attempting to fight back; it was perhaps made in response to CON AIR. Most embarrassingly, it borrows all of the big FX sequences from one of those AIRPORT movies of the 1970s! James Russo and Ice-T slum it as the tough heroes who go up against a master criminal, played by the singularly unimposing Michael Harris. The story that ensues has fitful action sequences but cheesy acting and very predictable plotting, leading to a seen-it-all-before feel.
