I don't like aviation movies, they never get more than two things in a row right. This movie hits home somewhat as I'm a pilot (though on a Boeing) and as such it could happen to me, so I was curious as to how bad another aviation movie on this topic could be.

This movie... I was stunned and amazed, I had a genuinely elevated heart rate all throughout watching it. You really feel the lack of movement and placement scripting in the absolute freedom and improvisation of the filming, it is so inconceivably unpredictable and realistic. All the procedures and actions are technically correct too, which can feel superfluous for the people that don't know and care, but is a level of authenticity in movies that I've never seen.

I am advising all my colleagues to see this.

This movie gives an amazingly realistic look at the interplay that exist in actual hijacking scenarios. It is slower in pace and grittier in appearance and direction than what many expect from a Hollywood movie of this type and could be seen as more of a fictional "documentary" which I expect is the reason for the shockingly low reviews seen. However in my opinion the acting and direction of this movie make it one of the best in its genre and well worth watching.

Such a horribly gripping film that pictures what a minority have potentially been through. Superb acting throughout and leaves a tingle down your spine. Due to the pre ratings I expected nothing really and so was pleasantly surprised. JGL is becoming an actor well ahead of his times and quite rightly so. Well done sir.

I fly the A319/320/321. Whoever consulted on the film did a good job, and incorporated realism to how the airplane is flown. That constant beating on the door is also accurate. It won't open unless someone lets you in.

This is a real anti-hollywood movie. A gritty movie that is thrilling and suspensful without the glitz and shine, the need to embelish real life and have super happy endings. Just solid performances and what could actually happen. They clearly had pilots, pschologists and police advise them. There may be holes, but they were inaccurancies above my level of knowledge. Had me enthalled, better than its reviews, but not for everyone, if you like your movies realistic and/or like planes this one is for you.
