Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

An FBI agent is demoted to a desk job back in Washington DC. By a stroke of luck, she's upgraded to business class on her flight - but as soon as the plane takes off, her seatmate offers her a fortune if she can get him off the plane alive. Altitude is a very noticeably low budget air drama which fails to rise above its fake feel to produce any suspense. All the elements are there for an air disaster film but there's nothing new at all being offered to an audience very aware of this subgenre. The villains are just noisy, unbelievable and not too threatening despite the story having them do bad things. And because their acting is below par it was left to Denise Richards and Kirk Barker to describe how evil they apparently all are, and keep it all going, in the hope of landing soon.

That is it. Total junk, even by Hollywood standards.

I wanted to watch this movie because i love Dolph but, um he is hardly in it and just makes a lot of facial expressions when he is. so uh, a group thugs/thieves hijack a plane because one of the partners in crime stole from them. lets see, could they of perhaps followed him from the plane and taken it. oh sorry logic. i don't understand why those type of masks the hired guns wore, served no purpose. and passengers jumping out of a moving plane over water, seriously. at that speed, they would be ripped apart. they did a lousy job of stunt woman and Denise. gosh i couldn't tell stunt or Denise. lol and the parachute scene, laughable. Denise Richards stellar acting (sarcasm), guess that's why she is only in b-movies eh so to sum it up, bad acting, stupid plot

SURPRISE!! Loved it!! The trouble is you have to have a reasonable intelligence level to appreciate it. Yes, it's a somewhat typical Hijack movie. Yes, Dolph Lundgren way, way under acted (or maybe not even aced at all). Half of the supporting cast was rank amateurs. Also, the dependence on the "F" word when not even remotely appropriate to the scene indicated the writers were probably high school dropouts. The sound was not up to decent standards; because of this much of the dialog is difficult to understand. The photography is dim and bad throughout the film (seemingly on purpose). However, the directing is better than average and Denise Richards does well by not depending on her well known figure and face; but on doing her lines in a most realistic manner. The most interesting way the movie ends is great – in that the audience has a choice in determining the final outcome as they would see it!
