This is a perfect vehicle for Cusacks comedic and dramtic talents. he delivers a sharp and funny performance here opposite Billy Bob Thornton's weird but 'interesting' taciturn role. Jolie has never looked as hot as she does here, those lips, those... Full review

I love the premise of this film. It's a look into the lives of the high stress world of air-traffic controllers. John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton play wonderfully off each other as workplace rivals. The story kicks it up a... Full review

If your an Air Traffic Controller this movie is great. It really pokes fun at some of the funnier parts of the aviation industry. I'm afraid though if someone wasn't in the industry they just wouldn't get this movie.... Full review

Pushing Tin is somewhat of an odd movie. It's not really funny enough to be considered a comedy, and it's not really compelling/dramatic enough to be considered a good drama. It attempts to pull off both at once, but never... Full review

I've worked with Cate twice, and I'd say she's probably the best actress out there," Billy Bob said.
I'd like to do another movie with Angie too, one of these days.

Witty and original, Pushing Tin is about being in control, losing touch with reality and the devil that is temptation.
On this original backdrop, Pushing Tin takes us on an emotional journey into a manic, all consuming world that pits together two loose canons whose egos collide.

Still, Blanchett (in a role so far removed from her Oscar-nominated performance in "Elizabeth" as to render her unrecognizable) is convincingly sympathetic as the high school sweetheart-turned-stay-at-home mom who's slightly ditzy.... ... Full Review

While her considerable talents were wasted on this film, she made it actually bearable.
There is considerable effective use of the surrounds & sub when the real stars of the film (the planes) take center stage.
