Resgate nas Alturas

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.

Eye Candy: Marla Malcolm gets topless

My Grade; C

clearly a low budget film and the staging and stock shots evidence this. but for what it is, it works. tough guys, good looking girls, and lots of action. i liked the flight attendant, the journalist and the pilot.... that's the guy i want in the cockpit on my next flight. I am up for a sequel and this movie sets the stage nicely for one. Only difference I would like to see is on the budget. spend five times what was spent on the first movie (whatever that amount was ) and you will have a good picture. I am not saying you need to be on location but get staging the has the rounded appearance and proportions of an airplane not a hotel lobby and cast situation actors conforming to the purported location.

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.

"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.
