Review of Trapped

Trapped (I) (2002)
6/10
Flying Magic
7 October 2005
The storyline is not bad despite a number of holes here and there. My main complaint... the flying scene that made no sense. As a pilot I'm getting tired of movies showing us over and over that, when you turn off the engine on a plane it falls out of the Sky like a Duck after a heart attack. Please, please... Planes continue to glide rather nicely without an engine. Anyone ever see a sailplane?

Our hero "Will" knew he had to turn of the engine when the call comes... fair enough. So if he knows how to fly the darn plane he must have known that all he had to do is climb to around 6,000feet and he could spend almost 10 Minutes on the phone with the Bad guy. Even with pontoons a Cessna hardly looses more than 600ft per minute!

OK, enough bitchin' for tonight. Enjoy the movie !
