Interceptor is about putting on a show, and Pataky has the muscular charisma to carry it. Read full review

It is such an old-fashioned action film that it practically plays like a discarded Chuck Norris script, just with some modern gender politics and social issues in play (although someone like Cynthia Rothrock could have easily headlined almost exactly the same film in the ‘80s). Read full review

While it’s not going to make a star of Pataky or anyone watching a sudden convert to Netflix’s mockbuster oeuvre, it’ll make for a decent summer snack until something better lands. Read full review

Interceptor checks all the boxes in terms of making an action film that will grab the audience's attention, have one root for the hero, and let out a few chuckles (especially for one horribly done cameo) before promptly forgetting the movie exists. Read full review

The fun is not always contagious, even for someone like me who grew up reading Tom Clancy’s wonky Cold War fantasias. Read full review

A cut-rate cast, green director and a script so bad it wouldn’t attract betters actors or directors is no way to rebuild public confidence in your business, or its “Netflix Original” movies. Read full review

Don't believe the critics' negativity (or the public's negativity LOL). This is a really gripping movie, with a very compelling and frightening plot. Also I liked it that when all seemed lost the heroine came up with a risky but clever plan. One star off for something in the ending which isDon't believe the critics' negativity (or the public's negativity LOL). This is a really gripping movie, with a very compelling and frightening plot.

Of course it’s a Die Hard clone, so don’t expect anything original, but it works thanks to its captivating lead performance and a nice setting. I had a good time!

Ugh. Nobody can argue with the historically inadequate representation in movies and TV of women and minorities. Efforts to balance that out expectedly bring the great, the good, the bad, and the just plain forgettable movies and TV shows. Sadly for the waaayyyy talented Elsa Pataky, thisUgh. Nobody can argue with the historically inadequate representation in movies and TV of women and minorities. Efforts to balance that out expectedly bring the great, the good, the bad, and the just plain forgettable movies and TV shows. Sadly for the waaayyyy talented Elsa Pataky, this ain't the script to have picked. Like unsweetened oatmeal, this one is a blandly generic, predictable, rehashed, and uncompelling thriller (Inigo Montoya would definitely take issue with the use of the word 'thriller' to describe this movie). The only better parts of the movie were Elsa's performances where she WASN'T dealing with the cardboard cutout bad guys. Ruby Rose or Megan Fox would have been a more fitting pick for this dull, cliche-filled flick. Here's your shocking spoiler: Psyhco, unapologetically misogynistic men take over a critically important but laughably secured military base. Only one damaged officer, unfairly treated by the army because of her gender, can save the day in spite of the inept cast of supporting male characters. But wait, there's more! Lol, no not really.

I'll watch for Elsa's next release and continue to hope and pray for WAAAAYYYY better scripts for women rather than this type of lazy, counter-productive writing.… Expand

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen in the Netflix catalogue, by far. And even with all the stupidity of its plot it could have sold better with someone competent as the lead.
Elsa Pataky is a lousy actress, I can't stress this enough, but her acting is really deplorable.

I don't know if someone owed her a favour or her husband who also makes a completely useless appearance, but whoever cast her as the lead failed monumentally at their job.

Absolutely dreadful.… Expand
