Reviews Counted:136

Fresh:18

Rotten:118

Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: Loud, preposterous, and predictable, Stealth borrows heavily and unsucessfully from Top Gun and 2001.

Runtime: 2 hrs 1 min

Genre: Action/Adventure

This high-action flight movie centers on a team of three sexy stealth bomber pilots who are forced to fly with EDI (Extreme Deep Invader), a computer-manned prototype plane that specializes in extra-precision bombing. The brainchild of a Bill Gates-esque wunderkind (Richard Roxburgh), EDI has the ability to learn at a fantastic rate, talks like HAL from 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY, and likes to listen to hard rock before going into combat. Before long, a freak accident causes it to question authority and launch an attack on Russia. W.D. Richter's script probes big issues involving man, machine, and the nuclear fate of the free world (Read: DR. STRANGELOVE meets THE TERMINATOR). But this is also an action thrill ride from Rob Cohen--the man responsible for THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and XXX--replete with some truly tremendous explosions and speeds that outdo any mph records set in Cohen's past ouevre. Jessica Biel (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) is tough and surprisingly believable as the token female fighter pilot, while Jamie Foxx (RAY) makes a fine wingman to the daredevil squadron leader played by Josh Lucas. Sam Shephard (THE RIGHT STUFF) is their commanding officer, with Joe Morton playing a shady politician. [More]

I went into this film not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.

Há boas idéias espalhadas aleatoriamente ao longo do roteiro; pena que são massacradas pela presença organizada de bobagens.

Ultimately, however, how much can you act when you're confined most of the time in an ultra-cramped cockpit -- even if you do have a golden statuette?

Stealth offers a plot so laughably preposterous that you halfway expect instructions to flash on the screen with a point tally in the corner.

Some of us, however, are at least as interested in software as hardware, which often makes Stealth tedious going.

Some genuinely enjoyable and surprisingly dove-like parts, hidden in a clumsy homage to 2001.

It's hard to completely hate this, hokey as it is, because you still want to root for the good guys in the end.

For at least the first hour, Stealth is a SAEBCPSOS (Shockingly and Excruciatingly Boring Columbia Pictures Sack of S---).

Stealth isn’t clever and has no sense of humour about itself.

More of a flying turkey than a tale of airborne action, "Stealth" begins to nosedive moments from its liftoff until it spirals out of control about half-way through.

Stealth offers the kind of razzle dazzle action Michael Bay only thinks he creates.

Boy, that Jessica Biel sure is hot. And, boy, those videogames sure are fun. So, if you like Jessica Biel and videogames, go see Stealth

The blueprints for Stealth called for long-forgotten spare parts, and the end result will likely cause a box-office crash.

Witless but marginally watchable for almost 70 minutes of its bloated 120-minute length — until it begins to take itself entirely too seriously.
