Ground Control Ratings & Reviews

jackmeatJuly 15, 2025
My quick rating - 5.5/10. Good cast that takes you into the life of an air traffic controller. This flick doesn't get all Hollywood which is a good and bad thing. This stays more rooted in the reality of the job, and how it could completely weigh on you. But this also leads to it being pretty boring for stretches at a time. Still, it did a good job in preparing you for the single event that actually had some tension. Most of it is more interaction between the controllers and pilots. Good drama though, just don't expect Die Hard 2.
