One of the coolest, best films I've seen for a while - definitely an 8. Conspiracy theorist will love it even more!
In the early 70's a mission to Mars must be aborted because the life support is faulty, but may jeopardise the government funding. So the crew are whisked to an old military base and coerced into acting the mission while the empty rocket makes the flight. But when the rocket crashed on its return to Earth, the three astronauts can no longer be returned as heroes - they must be eliminated! While they are on the run and being hunted the desert, a reporter and and wife of one the astronauts begins to have doubts that the mission is real. Another search, a rescue hopefully, is under way!
This movie has all the elements that make a great action movie - heroes, sci-fi, conspiracy, lies. But it has great dialogue - some of the small speeches made are extraordinarily well written, such as the one given by the mission control to initially convince the astronauts to put on the charade. The hunter helicopters that strangely ballet with each other is particularly haunting and memorable.
The very ending is a touch cliche and OJ Simpon is by far the worst actor of the cast, but apart from that, it is a work of art!
