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]

So cosmically god-awful that it raises the bar for such upcoming titles as Dukes of Hazzard, Deuce Bigalow and SuperCross.

If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?

Cohen undermines his own effort to make a 21st century Top Gun by using so many quick cuts and zooms that we can't even appreciate the action sequences. I almost got motion sickness.

The movie's shallow script, plastic acting, and Fourth of July explosions seem more appropriate for a pricey boxed game at Best Buy.

The noise is so headache-inducing that we welcome even the silly dialogue that forms at least part of the movie when the characters are on the ground.

Stealth is a 'check your brain at the door' sort of action film for those who just want the amusement park ride... and don't worry about whether it makes any sense

Doesn't really generate any emotion at all other than apathy.

Plays like a slapdash assemblage of the greatest hits of conspiracy-minded action cinema.

Stealth flails around with cheesy techno-babble, a lame attempt at an inter-office romance between Lucas and Biel, and a bizarre final act that reeks of desperation.

This is best watched while on illegal drugs, not that I'm advocating that sort of behavior....

This material brings out the worst instincts in director Rob Cohen.

Stealth is about absolutely nothing, and pretty much everything at the same time: terrorism, technology, warfare, grungy alt-rock, conflicted choices and cool flying footage.
