A sci-fi movie staring Jake Gyllenhaal. It's not. I'm not sure if I'll re-watch it any time soon, true, but it's not bad. Gyllenhaal stars as a pilot who's used in an experiment where the main goal is to stop a dirty bomb from going off. I liked his character and then Cpt. Goodwin, the woman who helped him achieve his goal, but the other characters were either annoying or unremarkable, to be honest. Also, the film felt very cheaply made, there were like 2 standing sets and three places where they shot outside and that was it. Not really minus points, just something you kinda notice, you know, especially in a movie featuring a star as big as Jake Gyllenhaal.
