Turbulence, or deadly departer is a film starring Dina Meyer as Sarah, a woman that gets on a flight to DC, then shalama from mutant X Tells her she has her family hostage. I will say at the beginning I thought I was watching the wrong movie. This older gentleman is on a beach with a lady. Stuff happens then we get title card and it's qué the bad acting straight away. The father and son actors being the characters of question here. The beginning is connected but it's not really sure why. The way it's solved is dumb. Also pretty sure a camcorder with no lead cannot upload a live video to a laptop on a flight. Acting and script were bad. Plot was throwaway but overall lik others of this genre it was watchable and I still got some enjoyment from it.

This is an okay Lifetime or Hallmark thriller which I caught on Prime. The lead women are great and overall, though we've seen "family taken hostage" films many times before, this one is a decent example for the genre. Not rating this as a film ready for theaters, but for a TV movie, it's what you'd expect in terms of quality.

A great story ruined by a very poor script, bad direction and pathetic acting (except that of Victoria Pratt). With a much better script, direction and cast, this could have been a winner!

There was nothing to this film except boring clichés and mediocrity. The acting, the plot, the direction, the dubbing (I watched in italian), the dialogue... nothing above second-rate and dim. The implausibility of the dialogues (scattered with improbable pauses and unbearably dull and emotionless expressions) and total disconnect from reality of the settings and overall environment left me honestly flabbergasted. I seriously hope a 7 year old scripted and approved the financing of this movie because the professionalism and creativity is just not there.

Not even enjoyable for a trash film's standard. Total waste of time.

Could have been great, if they had aby clue how to put a film together. One second theyre on a small plane with 4 windows and by the time its landed it has gained an extra 6 windows. Then it 9am on the guys phone, but in a blink on an eye and one phone call later its suddenly night time, ive seen better plays in my children's school, more convincing acting anyways! Absolutely awful how many flaws are in this "film"

A dirtbag senator kills a woman, and all that stands between him and acquittal, we're to believe, is a clear video of him murdering the girl. The quick-witted senator comes up with a foolproof plan: have an FBI agent delete the video and he'll get off scott free!

Sure he will.

The video in unequivocal and has been seen by dozens of people. Even without the video they can all attest to what they saw. Ooops. The senator wasn't wearing gloves and touched the girl in various places on her body. DNA. Ooops. People saw the two of them leave together. Ooops. Even without the video the case against the senator is compelling.

Fitting the plot is the terrible acting. Dina Meyer plays an FBI agent with zero skills or training. She's a helpless victim the entire run of the movie. She deduces that the kidnappers aren't going to let her family go regardless, not to mention she herself has seen a kidnapper's face, yet she complies with their demands anyway. How stupid is she? If they're sentenced to die, grab Victoria, beat the location out of her, call the cavalry, and hold her as hostage. Victoria Pratt is her usual unconvincing self. Nothing to see here. The woman can't act. Everyone else gives a soap opera or lower grade performance.

Three stars for a movie with three sets.

More proof that all hollyweird can do is remake a movie.

Its an outstanding movie. Well made, well thought about. The curiosity really builds up because of the actions in the flight. A must watch, binge worthy moviefor a perfect weekend!

People who are rating it below 5 definitely need a psychiatrist. It is an outstanding thriller which keeps you at the edge of your seat till the end.

I do not know why people are rating this thriller less than 5. I found this very fast moving and good edge of the seat thriller.. Of course there are many loopholes.. But, if you forget the loopholes, then you can definitely enjoy this thriller.
