When NASA gets desperate; who do they call?

Rating: 6/10 (14 November 2000)

Action packed, nail biting thriller. A huge Texas sized asteroid is on course for a collision with earth. NASA, in a last ditch plan, calls on an oil drilling crew to become astronauts, land on the big ass rock, and blow the hurtling menace into so many pieces it couldn't destroy earth. Who else, but Bruce Willis, could play the arrogant, wise cracking leader of drilling misfits? Willis and crew are a little reluctant, but are not about to back down and let earth meet its doom.
Great special effects. Great sound effects. Very good soundtrack that features "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". Pretty corny script, but in all...one hell of a movie. You will not be embarrassed if seen watching it more than once.
This is all pulled off with a diverse and talented cast featuring: Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jessica Steen and Steve Buscemi.
