It's good to know that nepotism is alive and well in Hollyweird. Well, if you hadn't spotted that the Gyllenhaals and Nick Cage etc, you can certainly see it here with Chris Hemsworth's wife getting the leading role in this stunning clown script of a production. Some treasures to watch out for:
1. The terrorists get onto one of the highest security US bases as cleaners?
2. The terrorists decide to try to cut through a muiti-inch thick steel blast door using a blow torch, to access the control room, despite the blast door having a plastic window in it that would simply melt.
3. The near impenitrable control room happens to have a wide hatch in the door that can simply be popped open, and worse, a ladder leader up to two doos that are about as heavy as those on the top of a typical household washing machine, with NO LOCKS that simply open on to the helicopter landing deck!
4. Mrs Hemworth, having been shot through the arm, decides she can swing across the monkey bars that oddly seem to exist on the under side of the oil rig style platform, and she manages to perform this amazing and impossible feat, not only swinging from one bar to the next with just one arm, but also making it across a large 6ft gap - I'm pretty sure there isn't a gymnast alive that could do this.
5. It turns out that the US's most advanced missile defence system can simply be connected to a local personal laptop and all of the code downloaded to it so you can then launch the entire missile defence system from it. Yep, no real security protocols, you just plug and play and fire missiles into space.
6. The terrorist leader loves monologues.
7. Motivation, now label me excessively critical, but if you land 15 nukes on the US and wipe out major US cities, then the value of the US dollar will drop through the floor. SO why are the terrorists boasting about getting paid in dollars if they pull the heist off? The idiocy level here is huge.
8. The baddies want to transmit all of their evil doing around the world onto every TV screen possible letting everyone watch as they launch nukes to destroy the US, at no point are they concerned that they might become wanted by any other part of NATO.
9. Mrs Hermsworths grand plan to thwart the terrorists is to let them get in and take over the control room then take them out. The Nerd Game modelling mathematician assisting the president gives this just a 14% chance of success - really? He did that in his head? A plan that makes no sense at all. But, tied up and unarmed Mrs Hemsworth basically beats up and shoots everybody dead.
In sum, if a movie this bad had been proposed in the 1980s even Steven Seagal and Van Dam would have turned it down as a joke. This movie is so silly it makes TEAM America World Police look like a documentary.
There are simply no redeeming elements to this movie. The script is so bad It takes a dump in your brain. The acting looks like they simply filmed the first script read through rehearsal.
After this, I just don't think there is any future for Mrs Hemsworth on either the big or small screen. Interceptors is pretty much the Armageddon of her career.
My advice, watch this movie when you are high or drunk and just imagine it's a Monty Python film, you'll enjoy it more that way.

This is actually a great comedy, unfortunately the cast don't know that.
Hot steaming Turd
Yeah this movie was a hot mess from the first to last minute. As a United States Marine this was utter nonsense and from a technical perspective, it was embarrassing. It was so bad Thor was brought on as a producer to try and save the day. They wanted his name added to give it some kind of credibility. Yeah not happening. You can put lipstick on a pig but at the end of the day, it's still a pig. Don't waste your time on this one folks cause it really is a hot turd... Ug soooo bad..
