Stealth

A cornball jet-fighter action film from the modern | Andrew Coffin

Do you develop emotional attachments to technology? Have you ever thrown out an old desktop computer and wept? If so, Stealth—a movie that features a climactic scene involving a computer sacrificing its "life" as grandiose, vaguely religious music fills the soundtrack—may be for you.

Stealth (rated PG-13 for intense action, some violence, brief strong language, and innuendo) is a cornball jet-fighter action film from the modern "master" of the cornball action film, Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious and XXX).

Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas), Kara Wade (Jessica Biel), and Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx) are three elite Navy pilots who fly highly advanced "Talons." As the movie opens, commanding officer Capt. George Cummings (Sam Shepard) gives them their first non-test range assignment aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. But the pilots are in for a surprise: They're joined by a fourth wingman that isn't a man (or woman) at all.
