In Interceptor, an army officer is forced to use her training and military expertise when put in a critical situation while on a mission.

Performing all the stunts takes a lot of physical strength. They are risky and take a lot of patience. Elsa, here in Interceptor, plays the role of an Army officer. She had to get in the shape of an officer. Stuart Beattie, the producer/writer, says that they knew from the beginning that the film would live and die on the quality of its fights. It depends on the actor how much they can be taught, how much she can learn, and how much she can process and then deliver. “Fortunately, our actor is Elsa Pataky,” says Stuart.
The director, Matthew Reilly, says that it is a big action movie, and he also agrees with Stuart’s statement and says, “Elsa Pataky is awesomeness personified.” He adds how the actress got into physical shape. “We’re talking Linda Hamilton Terminator 2 fit. She did months of fight preparation,” adds Matthew.
