This movie was on the TV at my automechanic while I was waiting for a car repair. This made the time go so much longer... if I didn't need the car repairs, I would have walked out simply because of this movie.It is just so bad. The acting is bad. The dialog is even worse. The accuracy is laughable. The constant repeats of the same stock footage is almost comical, if the movie just wasn't so bad.I've never reviewed a movie before, but I actually joined this site in the hopes that I could warn others away from spending their time watching this movie. I consider it my duty as a human being to keep people from getting dumber for having seen this.Unless you are 8 years old, this movie will make no sense to you and you will be sad for having wasted a part of your life by sitting through it. I am seriously considering a new automechanic now...

"The Hunt For Eagle One: Crash Point" is a step up from the first one.The plot this time around is about Al-qaeda. They have a nuclear device and only Lt. Daniels and Jennings (Dacascos and Randle) can stop them. Jeff Fahey plays their Commander."Crash Point" has ten times more action. Dacascos gets to use his martial arts skill, even when his character can just shoot people. Randle handles the clunky dialogue well. The climactic chase with a helicopter and a bike, while very silly, works on a B-movie level. Fahey just yells a lot, but does a good job at that.Overall, "Crash Point" is better than the original, and I wouldn't be surprised if they made a third one. Maybe they can call it "The Hunt For Eagle One: Gitmo Strikes Back".For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

I like Mark Dacascos from Cradle to the Grave, but he was so much better in that movie. here is is just another emotionless grunt with some hoo yahs.The fact that there are no memorable quotes from this film is indication that there was no memorable dialog. There wasn't much dialog at all. It was just a bunch of shooting and some martial arts (very little).It actually seemed to be a vehicle for Theresa Randle (Bad Boys, Girl 6) to show how tough she could be. OK, you're tough. Now get some lines that are worth remembering.

I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. My friends and I made a night of it and rented a bunch of these sorts of b-movies, and I have to say this is better than the original "hunt for eagle one." yeah, the plot is laughable at points, but it isn't a badly made movie- like, the music is cool, and the direction seems good. I really liked Mark Dacascos - he's better here than on Iron Chef America. Theresa Randle was good too. Nice seeing a tough girl rather than a victim.Yeah, like kungfu said the random additions of nightly news shots and the CGI are pretty bad. They don't really serve any purpose, unless you wanted to make a drinking game out of the movie. But whenever the actors are actually in the action and they don't have to use cartoon planes to show what's going on, it's pretty thrilling. I liked the beginning sequence, it got me hooked.Basically, this is a fun movie. It's not Saving Private Ryan, but it's still has it's good points. When you want something escapist, you can't go wrong with this.
