Great movie, great actors. Loved the story line. Mind games and competitiveness abound! Cool ending!

This was a good movie. The charachters could have been more deeply developed and the story a little bit tighter. The obsession and paranoia that John Cusack presents is believable, but could have been better written. All in all an enjoyable glimpse into the Air Traffic Controller world . . . . and kinda scary at that.

A movie is often better because of John Cusack's contribution to it. Not so with Pushing Tin. This movie was too predictable. The "surprises" were confusing and antithema to the plot-- why does Cusack's character hop in the sack so quickly with Jolie's character? It comes out of nowhere. I wondered why I didn't recall this film's release in the big theater -- probably didn't last a week, or just went straight to the video market...

When the pleasure of being a flight-controller starts to get to John Cuasck, most anything can happen, In this film almost everything and anything is fare game for a well-placed gag. . . . What is not too funny is that you get the idea that most of what is shown may not be made up. This is considered by most as John Cusack’s best performance, I think that is questionable, but perhaps for that period and time in his career this may be true. It was certainly the best role of Billy Bob Thornton's since “Sling Blade”,,”nd really introduced Angelina Jolet as the very sexy wife of Thornton, and love hitch pin in this romantic comedy.movie. This is an excellent rental and a good choice for a DVD collection

It was no blockbuster, but if you like the characters than it was a great movie for you!! John Cusack was as cute as ever in his "Say Anything" trench and sneaks. Angelina and Billy Bob had some weird chemistry in this movie. It was kid of sureal creepy to see her made up to look like a 19 year old slut. Kate Blanchet is a little out of her element in this movie but still very good. The only real problem with this movie is the constant testosterone battles. Oh well, good to watch on a rainy Saturday!
