Critics Consensus

Loud, preposterous, and predictable, Stealth borrows heavily and unsucessfully from Top Gun and 2001.

Full of explosive mayhem and pulse-quickening aerial combat, this high-flying action romp offers polished, if derivative entertainment.

If we're going to be fighting the war on terror in perpetuity, could we at least get better movies out of it?

...a crude Jerry Bruckheimer knock-off with a laughably insipid script...

Neither entertaining nor exciting, the dumb and noisy Stealth will hopefully live up to its name by fading quietly from movie theaters.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It successfully held my attention throughout its thrilling action sequences. Initially, I was unaware of Jamie Foxx's involvement in the movie. However, his untimely demise, which was quite poignant, added an extra layer of intrigue, making the film truly captivating.

It's ok to just let it play while doing some boring work. Nothing more, definitely not a very good movie. The lightning strike breaking literal electronic DNA-strings made me laugh and just like that I couldn't take the movie serious anymore. Movies are really made for dumb people.
