Hijacked

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.

A hour and and 30mins I will never get back. I was planning on giving it 1/10 but the little twist at the end notched it up to 2/10. The movie lacked suspense, thrill or action. It was pretty clear from the onset who the bad guys were and the good guys were. The acting was forgettable. The Aussie with the mustache was comical (hey mate! Howz it going mate? Everything OK mate?) Lol him and agent Ballard both got their butt kicked a couple times in the movie. Any CIA agent who accidentally watches this movie would be disgraced the were they were hilariously portrayed. There was a couple times Vinnie Jones AKA agent Ballard was caught napping, not knowing which wire to cut on the bomb or letting one of the suspects get out of sight to have his Ex fiancé conveniently placed to shoot the suspect. A true CIA agent would immediately disarm a suspect and at least shoot him in the kneecap so he/she doesn't attack them again, not agent Ballard though.

There was more action and suspense in the movie Devil Wears Prada compared to this flick. I yawned my way to the end of the movie with 13 yawns.

PS The director Brandon Nutt is truly nuts and Vinnie Jones' head should audition for the next planet of the apes movie.

All special agent Paul Ross (Randy Coulture) wants to do is to win back his ex-fiancé, but his plans are sadly thrawrted when his love is on a mammoth plane that's been hijacked (hence the genius name of this film) by terrorists, which makes his day that much worse as he had been suspended earlier that day.

While not nearly as bad as some of the reviews that I've read, it's not a particularly good film either. The action scenes are all right, it's just that it's plot is devoid of any originality and is hopelessly derivative which draws comparisons to similar terrorists on a plane films that this movie can't help but not fair well to. The acting is also not one of its stronger.points. All said, the movie while watchable is a bit forgettable.

My Grade; C

I guess I can give the movie the benefit of the doubt. It was a low budget action movie and it felt like it. It most likely did not have the money to really make Die Hard on a plane (or for that matter Snakes on a Plane).

They did make up for the shoe string budget with some cool styled scenes of Randy Culture going after the bad guys, but it really was not enough to make the movie. Plus Vinnie Jones is favorable to watch as well.

I would have to vote on skipping it unless you got nothing better to do. It's not even that good of a low budget Randy Culture film.

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!
