Pushing Tin Ratings & Reviews
- Michael JohnsonDecember 18, 2025Pushing Tin has a rough start and really tries hard to make air traffic control feel hip and cool, which can be a little off-putting at first. But once it settles in, the movie pulls you into its strange energy and ensemble cast, and you kind of get tangled up in the chaos and just want to keep watching. It’s definitely a very ’90s movie for better and worse. But by the end, its weirdness becomes part of the charm.
- David DanielJune 3, 2025A superior cast is squandered here, what was the films objective? The story and characters stumble away from every scene left unresolved, unfulfilled. So much potential and yet at the end there is nothing.
- John PFebruary 6, 2025I like it, but I think John Cusack is good. Not keen on Jolie though!
