The description says this movie was based on an actual case. But apparently "Based on" doesn't mean much.
I realize the conversations between the ground and aircraft is much too cryptic for the average person so it had to be heavily modified for the movie. But the director depicted the air traffic controller as being inept and not focused. Trust me you don't get to be an air traffic controller easily. They have sharp attention to detail; not the detached and puzzled character we saw in this movie.
Did they really let just about anyone walk through the wreckage even while there were still bodies strewn all over the place.
The pace of the movie is slow to the point of being boring.
The scene with the lawyers was cold beyond belief. Yes we can all make jokes about lawyers but they aren't that inhumane. Somewhere during the meeting they would have let the Schwarzenegger character speak. They were trying to sell him on a settlement. Instead they cut him off. Lawyers aren't that stupid.
There was a story here, it just didn't come to the surface. There were possible challenging and intelligent scenes with the details of the steps that led to the crash could be argued. One pilot ignored the ground controller and descended from 10,000 feet to 6,000 feet without permission. That alone would have worked in the controllers favor and he would not have been ostracized.
