Altitude

Denise Richards plays an FBI hostage negotiator who is being banished to a desk job. On her flight she is upgraded after an altercation with an obese passenger and ends up sitting next to a charming Brit in first class. When the Brit sees Dolph Lundgren on the plane he offers Richards $50 million dollars to get him off the plane safely. Pretty soon the bad guys take over the plane.

Altitude AKA Hijack is a bad action film with a terrible script and mostly shot in the dark so you can hardly see a thing. It is low budget and low wattage action. An awful dog of a film.

I think the review title says enough. Sub par plot, clueless cast topped off with a boring ending make movies like Snakes on a plane look like a piece of art. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this piece of crap. I am only typing this extra line in order to submit my review

Honestly i got into this movie in the first act. The character played by Denise Richard is enjoyable and nice and you can really get behind her. The story is unfolding in a nice pace and all. The problems comes in the third act where heavy bad CGI is involved along some bad camera works and lightning, which are probably to hide the lack of budget, and at that point the movie is not as much entertaining to me. You look at this and at part you think "what is going on ?"

Despite this, i still think its a decent low budget Saturday night TV movie... There is nothing that is totally cringe worthy even if you must turn your brain off big time during the third act especially. And sure Air Force One is still by far a better movie, but its not horrible as some said in reviews.

I was never "bored" per say and i wanted to see how it would end.

Denise Richards may seem like an odd choice for this role as she is not really known for action roles, but i think she did the job fine, and even if she aged obviously since her Starship Troopers day, she still charmed me.

This movie is AVERAGE by a low budget standard. If you only crave big budget Hollywood production, do not give it a second look.

Mostly I don't mind bad movies too much. Late at night, can't sleep, I'll watch anything.

Well, except this again.

Rubbish story with holes and gaps, atrocious acting and ridiculous effects.

It was a disaster really,but for some reason I just went with the flow and totally decided to get into the spirit of things and enjoyed it.Sometimes you have to think "This movie is bad",but is it possible to enjoy a bad movie?,Hell yes,put your feet up and chill out for an hour and a half and forget about life for a change,you may even enjoy it you never know.Denise Richards is still worth a look at least.
