Review and cast of Reilly’s film

Interceptor is an action movie reminiscent of disaster movies, so dear to American cinema. Despite the cast of recallthe viewer can sometimes feel sucked into a film by Jackie Chan. L’setting limited to a single room for over an hour and a half, then, it can promote the boredom effect.

To appreciate the intent of the screenwriters – Reilly himself together with Stuart Beattie – to assign the task of saving the world to two women: JJ Collins and US President Wallace (Zoe Carides). Unfortunately i dialogues of the film they are often predictable and the attempt to advance the feminist cause with a reflection on #MeToo is weak.
