Interceptor
A US Army Captain becomes the last line of defense against a rogue nuclear attack on major American cities. Elsa Pataky ditches her Toretto Family ties to play “Die Hard” at sea. When one counter defense base is compromised, America’s secret Pacific base also comes under siege. It’s a laughable plot where realism seems to go out the window & time seems to slow down so the hero can catch up. Its where writers conspire to get our pretty heroine out of uniform for her showdown with the enemy. They even toss in Fat Thor for a cameo. Oh, did I️ mention Chris Hemsworth is an executive producer in this action thriller featuring his wife. Her “guns” look like she has been working out with hubby. Very stereotypical characters are portrayed & the hero is saddled with a history to haunt her. It’s pure escapism with little believability. Look for a funny clip after the credits roll.
Alien gives it 2 “SBX-1” stars out of 4.
