    Recommandations

      San Francisco Examiner

      It succeeds because of the frenzied, kinetic direction by Mike Newell, one of the most interesting big-hit directors.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      Takes viewers into a unique world. It's not just about air traffic controllers. It's about controllers in a specific place and from a specific social background.

      Salon

      Almost always a pleasure to watch. Pushing Tin is, essentially, a western -- Cusack really is the fastest gun in the West.

      New York Daily News

      Uneven but fitfully entertaining.

      The New York Times

      Newell's ensemble timing and breezily sardonic style make it work better than might be expected.

      Christian Science Monitor

      Bids for originality by focusing on an offbeat profession. Every other aspect is pretty stale, though, from the smart-alecky characters to the romantic-triangle plot.

      Top-flight cast.

      Austin Chronicle

      It's a glorious mess, though, with genuine bits of comic genius strewn amidst the rubble, not unlike a plane crash in its own way.
