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]

When your movie is about a magical talking airplane, and yet the magical talking airplane is not the silliest thing about the movie, then you should not make any more movies.

Stealth is a dreadful, forgettable, abusive motion picture, and it makes the January stinker Alone in the Dark look Kubrickian in comparison.

You'll groan, you'll wince, you'll gasp, but you won't be bored -- and if you stay through the end credits, you'll be rewarded with a perfectly ridiculous capper.

A flashy piece of artificial intelligence that travels at Mach-5 but goes nowhere.

A slick piece of summer entertainment that is counting on elaborate special effects to make its derivative, convoluted story line all but irrelevant.

...director Rob Cohen and screenwriter W.D. Richter go for the basics, using "Frankenstein's" lightening bolt to give life to "2001's" HAL with wings

Stealth should live up to its name by flying into and out of theaters without anyone knowing it was even there.

While Stealth repeatedly hits air pockets of plot nonsense, Cohen provides [fun] in abundance.

Stealth is a widescreen video game, except all the audience can do is watch instead of grabbing a joystick and playing along.

Stealth is squarely aimed at the game boy (and, because of Jessica Biel, game girl) demographic who will salivate over the Play Station version

The movie does deliver the video game goods but strands its characters in a no-man's-land of crude characterizations and silly dialogue.

It ain't brain surgery, but Stealth is one of the smartest stupid movies of the summer.

The movie is absolutely consistent -- it's just as wildly improbable at the end as in the beginning.

A movie about a robotic, super-intelligent warplane with a second act that consists of court-martials, generic rescue missions, and people sneaking around with crowbars.
