Movie Review: Interceptor (2022)

Plot: The world’s last defense.

An Army lieutenant uses her years of tactical training to save humanity from sixteen nuclear missiles launched at the U.S. as a violent coordinated attack simultaneously threatens her remote missile interceptor station.

Review: Interceptor” is one of those action movies where you know what will happen at the end before seeing it.

Movies like this can be a lot of fun, you go in optimistic. but then you see it and you remember why you were hesitant, to begin with.

It might be a movie you are rooting for,
it is directed by Matthew Reilly and produced by Chris Hemsworth

The setup of the movie goes like this: The US has only two early warning stations that can detect and shoot down nuclear, which are called Interceptor bases. One is at the icy Fort Greely in Alaska. The other is a seaborne platform called SBX-1.

A generic terrorist group takes command of 16 Russian nuclear missile installations with the intent of destroying 16 U.S. cities. But they’ll need to knock out America’s defense systems. First, they wipe out Fort Greely. That leaves SBX-1 as the lone deterrent, but the terrorists have infiltrated the platform. Posing as janitors, the semi-ruthless Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey) and his blank-slate henchmen have plans of taking over SBX-1.

But he didn’t count on Captain JJ Collins. Transferred to the undesirable SBX-1 following a sexual assault cover-up by the military, JJ is promptly welcomed to her post in “the middle of nowhere” by Kessel and his mercenaries who attempt to gain entry into the control room. But JJ fights them off, sealing herself and the antsy Corporal Shah inside. In one of the more hilarious details, JJ radios for help but is informed that reinforcements to one of America’s most crucial defense stations are 90 minutes away.

Surrounded by an endless horizon of ocean and no help in sight, our hero must “hold the room” and fend off the terrorists until backup arrives. Along the way, we’re fed a steady diet of silly one-liners and cringy dialogue (“We’re the only thing standing between America and Armageddon.”)

The movie might interest you as it is an action-packed movie with lots of drama
