“The Fast And The Fierce” (** out of four) was a mediocre action thriller that never manages to be as memorable as its title about a group of terrorists who plant a bomb aboard a commercial 747 plane and the passengers (Dominique Swain, Adrian Paul, Jason Tobias and others) must fight to keep the plane in the air and fend off the terrorists after realizing the plane will detonate if it dips below 800 feet! Nail-biting story with obvious echoes of 9/11 is reasonably fast-moving but hindered by weak acting and production values. Not bad but could have benefited from a higher budget and a more large-scale director like Ridley Scott or James Cameron.
