The real shocker is the credibility holes bigger than the ones air-conditioning this bird. [30 Sep 2005, p.89] |

The New York Times Anita Gates
"Mayday" is a run-of-the-mill television movie, but it does make its point: a lot of people in positions of authority these days are very bad guys. |

Like this movie, most of the passengers in "Mayday" are dead on arrival. |

Newsday Diane Werts
Maybe the problem with CBS' new Sunday popcorn movie "Mayday" isn't that it could be better. It actually could be worse. Then this would be deliriously mockable trash instead of an occasionally gripping but mostly frustratingly loony piece of hooey. |

Variety Brian Lowry
Perhaps the intrigue worked better on paper, but squeezed into 88 minutes or so, it's almost comical how everyone keeps conspiring to bring the damn plane down after blasting a hole in it the size of a Hummer. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
The visual effects from coordinator Laird McMurray and his team in the wake of the missile strike are solid enough, though it's never explained why some people get sucked out of the hole and others don't and why, after the plane levels off, the sucking pretty much stops even as the movie itself continues to suck. |
