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

Reviews for Stealth
Top CriticCohen 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.

Top CriticIt's not new. It's not interesting. I wish it would go away.

Top CriticAiming to join the Jerry BruckheimerJerry Bruckheimer/Michael BayMichael Bay school of American movie war games, Stealth is just too dumb to make the grade.
07/29/05
Top CriticStealth manages to be so ridiculously unconvincing you think you're watching a live-action version of last year's sublime action-movie puppet satire Team America.
07/29/05
Top CriticNo matter how hard Cohen flogs it, whips it, beats it, shakes it, kicks it and prods it with a sharp stick, Stealth, his latest, just doesn't spring to life.
07/29/05
Top CriticHarsh and tasteless, it doesn't even qualify as a popcorn movie. Popcorn, at least, has some taste to it, and a certain airiness.
07/29/05
Top CriticBeyond mind-numbing explosions, Stealth's effects are good, especially the whooshing flight scenes. But as Eddie shows, humanity matters, and computer wizardry won't fill an empty plot.
07/29/05
Top CriticCohen is no stranger to cornball excess but Stealth is his chef-d'oeuvre, a movie so audaciously preposterous and jingoistic it plays like a parody of the genre.
07/29/05
Top Critic[Stealth] is the filmic embodiment of all that is indulgent, gratuitous and downright dumb in pop culture.
07/29/05
Top CriticStealth doesn't so much crash and burn as just fly and fade into its CGI-created sunset.
07/29/05
Top CriticHollywood hokum? Absolutely. Pop-culture propaganda? Perhaps. Yet Stealth goes beyond feeding our popcorn proclivities.
07/29/05
Top CriticStealth is a pretty fair military-hardware action movie until you start thinking about it -- at which point it turns incredibly sour in your mouth.
07/29/05
Top CriticStealth is flimsy and forgettable, but it does have a few worthy action and special-effects sequences.
07/29/05
Top CriticStealth is so over-painted with CGI that it doesn't look as real as the sequence starring Shepard that inspired it in The Right Stuff, a movie made with model airplanes.
07/29/05
Top CriticThe latest and, in many ways, most preposterous hunk of big-screen action to come out of Hollywood in some time.
07/29/05
Top CriticA slick piece of summer entertainment that is counting on elaborate special effects to make its derivative, convoluted story line all but irrelevant.
07/28/05
Top CriticThe dialogue is often drowned out by engine noise.
07/28/05
Top CriticHas the makings of a kitsch classic.
07/28/05
Top CriticWhile Stealth repeatedly hits air pockets of plot nonsense, Cohen provides [fun] in abundance.
