Hijacked

"I'm not in a position to delay your departure, but if you choose to fly I strongly recommend you double all your security efforts." Paul Ross (Couture) is a special agent who is great at his job but not his personal life. He has just broken up with his fiancé and his best friend just got killed. To make matters worse he has just boarded a plane that his ex is on and it has just been hijacked by people working for the crime lord he is looking for. I have to admit that I had really low expectations for this one. Most wrestler movies are not that impressive and after watching this one I guess same goes for MMA. This is a movie where the writers said he can put a UFC guy in this and have him beat people up, that will make people watch. The sad fact is that that it true. The fighting was good, but the movie overall was totally flat. No emotion, no intrigue and I actually found myself wanting to shut it off or fast forward it. My inner struggle actually helped because my talking to myself not only was more entertaining but made the time go by quicker. I was hoping for "Air Force One" meets "Passanger 57". I couldn't have been more wrong. On the plus side there is a scene of nudity halfway through...so there is that. Overall, a movie for really hardcore wrestling/mma movie fans. I had to struggle to get through it. I give it a C-.

Without doubt, one of the worst movies I've ever had the misfortune of subjecting myself to! The movie starts bad, with Vinnie Jones playing a part that's completely out of character, and from there, it just gets worse... much worse!

I won't talk about the glass bowls and decanters, etc, placed on the tables of a plane that's about to take off, instead, I'll talk about the worst plot, worst acting, and worst movie I've probably ever had the misfortune of watching! Actually, I'm lost for words... I'm trying to think of a few fitting, critical remarks about the movie, but it was so bad, that I'm struggling to comment, without adding spoilers and resorting to profanities! All I can say is, if you feel the need to watch this movie, but have a couple of spare needles in the house, I'd strongly suggest holding the needles over a flame, then inserting them into your eyes, because with hindsight, I would rather stick red hot needles in my eyes than watch this movie!

One of, if not the worst movie I have ever watched, and giving it a score of 1 out of 10, doesn't even start to describe how bad it is! Do yourself a favour and buy some needles... or you'll wish you had!

This is a low budget movie with a typical hijack airliner plot. There is nothing outstanding about the storyline. The set is also poorly and unrealisticly made and it looks like all the action is taking place in a cheap downtown hotel rather than a private aircraft. The acting is also a bit one dimension, where good guys a tough, girls are pretty and bad guys are dumb and unlucky.

One bright thing about this movie is the hand-to-hand combat scenes. It is generally exciting although it can be a bit predictable.

Overall it's 3.5/10. I give them credit because it's a low budget movie. Watch it only if you can't find anything else to watch and keep your expectation down.

What went wrong?...I use IMDb to give me an idea of just what other fellow movie watcher's think...normally I get it about right, the numbers as long as they are over 6 maybe lowest or 7 or 8 out of 10....we can get a good average of the film...So what went wrong...well I saw Vinnie Jones in the "Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels"...great film, funny in parts and in my estimation worth the 8.2 out of 10...So what went wrong...yes you guessed it...I didn't use my eyes to see the dismal 3. something out of 10 before I went to the trouble of downloading this film...Yes Vinnie Jones does make an appearance which made me think...yes it could just make the grade...Wooden acting, lack of coherent story line...too many gaps...where maybe the "ACTION" man with the board should have a bit more on the ball...the cutting room floor was probably full of things that did not make it to the screen...For that alone I am thankful that this film only lasted for the time it did..note to self "LOOK AT THE RATINGS IN IMDb FOR ANY FILM...THIS WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND STOP YOU SEEING RUBBISH"....so to sum up...If you are board and have the chance to have an operation have it...don't waste you life on this film..I gave it 3 out of 10...maybe less would be appropriate...it does have some action somewhere...A waste of time,effort,life....

When this movie was released on DVD, I was tempted to pay the new rental price to see it, but I ultimately decided not to. The other day I found it available to rent for just a dollar, so I decided to see it. Boy, am I glad I didn't pay full price to see this. I'd be even happier if I had rented another movie for that dollar. For starters, the movie has inconsistent production values, with some scenes looking slick and expensive but other scenes looking downright cheap. Next, Randy Couture is pretty underwhelming in the lead role, lacking charisma as well as emotion when his character speaks. The movie is poorly paced; after the (lame) opening action sequence, it takes more than a half hour before we start getting action again. And none of the action in the movie gets above the routine. There is one bright spot in the movie, and that is Dominic Purcell as the bodyguard. He manages to take his role and make his character pretty interesting. If he had been cast in the lead role, chances are the movie would be significantly better.
