Interceptor is a 2022 Australian action thriller film directed by Matthew Reilly (in his directorial debut) and written by Reilly and Stuart Beattie. The film stars Elsa Pataky as a tough as nails military captain who must single-handedly defend a remote missile interceptor station from a coordinated attack by Russian terrorists. The film was released on Netflix on June 3, 2022.
Interceptor is a throwback to the action films of the 1980s, with its over-the-top action sequences, cheesy dialogue, and one-dimensional characters. Pataky is a charismatic lead, and she throws herself into the role with gusto. The film's action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting, and there are some genuinely suspenseful moments. However, the film's plot is riddled with cliches and plot holes, and the characters are thinly sketched. Interceptor is a fun and entertaining action film, but it's not going to win any awards for originality or intelligence.
