In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The main reason I watched this film was because Randy Couture is in it, he was in "The Expendables 1 and 2". To me, "Expendables 2" was the best action film of 2012. Well, "Hijacked" is possibly among the worst of 2012. Now granted, Couture only played a small role in The Expendables and here he is the leading star. He proves one thing: he can't act at all. We already kind of knew that from the flawed "Scorpion King" sequel. But he is not the only "star" of this film. We also have Vinnie Jones. His part is kind of limited since he's killed in the first 10 minutes. Then we have Dominic Purcell (Prison Break) with an awful "Magnum" mustache. His performance is also one he now desperately tries to forget. On with the story: predictable, lacks any form of tension or thrills. Does not make any sense most of the time.When it comes to action you simply have to laugh when you see the limited fight scenes that are badly choreographed. So what's left ? Beats me, I just can't understand why cheap garbage like this is still produced. Avoid at all costs..

From the very beginning,it was apparent that this film was in the B category. It took too long building up to the purpose of the film to start with. The acting was a bit wooden too. I bought it in part because I saw that Vinnie Jones was in it, however I would've thought he'd have been in the movie for a lot longer than he actually was.As usual when the scene is on an aircraft, the effect is spoilt because you can hardly hear the sound of the engines, making it hard to believe you're airborne. I'm a huge aircraft fan and familiar with cockpit procedures and was disappointed to note that, apart from having a flight crew sat there, they did little of what pilots would've done in reality. when the action gets going, there's far too much indiscriminate shooting going on which, again, in reality would've caused a catastrophic decompression.On a plus side, the filming was very good and you do get a sense of money having been spent on costumes and set decor.Overall, there is no feeling of being terrified of the events taking place and the movie had a flat feeling about it. I guess I've been spoilt by excellent films,such as Skyjacked, with Charlton Heston, or Wesley Snipes Passenger 57, not to mention Red Eye with Cillian Murphy.The DVD was only a fiver though so didn't cause me to worry about the expense!

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 toplessMy Grade; C

I wasn't expecting much but this was okay. its a straight to DVD action movie so don't go looking for Oscar winning acting or million dollar sets. but the action is good the story is pretty much expected but there are a few twists that keep it interesting. Vinnie is good, randy kicks some ass and i liked this movie. hope you do too. but just keep in mind its a straight to DVD movie featuring a retired UFC fighter :o) if your looking for an amazing action packed block buster involving the hijacking of a plane watch die hard 2 or con air. but if you've seen those and feel like throwing something on and eating some popcorn give this one a try.
