...aviatrix, played by Candy Buckley, manages the part quite well, given the rather stereotyped "fearless Nadia" role that Shaw created for her.

Audiences will quickly turn to cuddlier movie diversions. The action-adventure genre, which has worldwide appeal but whose budgets have been ballooning until they are ready to burst, will finally be terminated.
