Interceptor <\/strong><\/em>(2022)<\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 Matthew Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenplay:\u00a0 \u00a0Matthew Reilly, Stuart Beattie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring:\u00a0 Elsa Pataky, Luke Bracey,<\/strong> Aaron Glenane,<\/strong>\u00a0Mayen Mehta\u00a0<\/strong>and Chris Hemsworth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tagline:\u00a0 The World’s last defense.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers<\/p>\n

Captain J.J. Collins (Pataky) has just been reassigned to one of two remote US interceptor launch locations.\u00a0 These interceptor sites protect the US from nuclear strikes by taking out the nukes before they get close enough to do damage.\u00a0 Collins’ reassignment feels like a demotion for bringing charges against a respected General.<\/p>\n

As Collins is getting acclimated, word comes in that the other US interceptor site has been taken down by terrorists.\u00a0 As Collins and crew process this information, terrorists attempt to breach their control center.\u00a0 The commanding officer and all of the soldiers outside of the control center are killed.\u00a0 The terrorists plan to take out this last interceptor site and then launch sixteen stolen nukes at cities across the US.\u00a0 They are led by the brilliant and egotistical, Alexander Kessel (Bracey) who is sending a video feed to the world.\u00a0 The only thing standing between the fall of the United States is Captain J.J.\u00a0 Collins and two soldiers.\u00a0 They’re outnumbered, outgunned, but not out of the fight!<\/p>\n

I absolutely loved Interceptor<\/em>.\u00a0 If you’re a fan of 80s action movies, then this should be your jam.<\/p>\n

Matthew Reilly, is an internationally best-selling author who writes non-stop action novels.\u00a0 He co-wrote and directed Interceptor<\/em>.\u00a0 I had no idea Reilly was branching out.\u00a0 Interceptor<\/em> was his first time directing, but you’d never know it.\u00a0 I hope to see him helming future films.<\/p>\n

Stuart Beattie, who co-wrote Interceptor<\/em>, is probably best known as the screenwriter for Collateral<\/em> starring Tom Cruise and 30 Days of Night<\/em>.\u00a0 Interceptor<\/em> fits nicely in his resume.<\/p>\n

Elsa Pataky is believable as the smart, tough as nails, Captain J.J. Collins.\u00a0 I could see her starring in a sequel.\u00a0 Pataky’s husband, Chris Hemsworth, has a small, uncredited role.\u00a0 He’s there for some comic relief and I enjoyed his part.<\/p>\n

Luke Bracey excels as the arrogant Alexander Kessel.\u00a0 He makes an excellent villain.\u00a0 He’s cocky, overconfident and sure of his charm.\u00a0 It was cool seeing him trying to hold it together as his plan was failing.<\/p>\n

Aaron Glenane plays a soldier you just want to smack.\u00a0 He’s got a stupid look to match his intellect.\u00a0 Hats off to Glenane for making the most of his character.<\/p>\n

Interceptor<\/em> isn’t going to win any Academy Awards.\u00a0 It’s not a film that will change your life, but if you’re looking for an hour and a half of fun action, then give Interceptor<\/em> a try.\u00a0 I loved it and Interceptor earns 5 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n
