"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-.

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.

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....

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.

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.
