Description: “Interceptor 2022” is a fast-paced nuclear thriller available for download in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, with quality options ranging from 1080p to 480p. The film, directed by Matthew Reilly, is filled with chaotic plotting and action sequences, though it often struggles with coherence outside of fight scenes. The story centers on Captain Collins, played by Elsa Pataky, a soldier stationed on a missile defense rig in the Pacific. She must single-handedly fend off a group of intruders led by Alexander, a talkative terrorist portrayed by Luke Bracey, who aims to disable the base’s control room and unleash 16 rogue Russian missiles on American cities.
The film’s confined setting and CGI-enhanced missile cutaways create a budget-conscious yet tense atmosphere, accompanied by Alexander’s half-hearted rants about his privileged background. Chris Hemsworth makes a brief appearance as a shaggy store employee in Los Angeles, adding a quirky touch. For much of the movie, Collins is isolated in the control room, with her struggles broadcast globally via an emergency feed. This setup highlights Netflix’s utilitarian approach to filmmaking, prioritizing cost-efficiency over quality, especially during the pandemic.
While “Interceptor” has moments of over-the-top action and eccentric dialogue, it often feels like a rushed production. Despite its flaws, it’s a testament to director Matthew Reilly’s debut, though it’s unlikely to be a standout in his career.
