The structural missteps do little to diminish the immense pleasure of seeing [Michael Jai] White in motion.

A throwback to 1980s action films, with strong men at the center going up alone against an unambiguously evil foe, "Falcon Rising" is an entertaining film with a thrilling physical performance from Michael Jai White.

"Falcon Rising" is filled with so many action-flick cliches it could serve as a text on how not to do things.

To the movie's detriment, White doesn't get to show us what he can really do until 30 minutes into the story, then again near the end when he takes on three armed baddies.
