At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I watched this because I thought it was a film version of the John J Nance novel. Thank God it wasn't or my perception of said novel would be ruined forever.For those of you considering watching this, save yourselves an hour and a half and pick something else.That or go to the store and pick up "Turbulence"Also, if you opt to watch this, bring a barf bag... I'm a pilot and it still made me airsick!Better hijacking movies include Cliffhanger, Captain Phillips, Non- stop, The Taking of Pelham 123 (Also a great adaptation of a novel), Speed, Air Force One, and even Speed 2....Basically anything but this waste of film.

Implausible because:(1) No stewardess could ever be that naive/stupid/gullible/jittery. (2) Storms are not that kind of threat to a plane. (3) Funny how movie depictions of plane interiors always show inordinate amounts of space between rows, between seats, down aisles, in bathrooms, in cockpits... (4) Cops could not be that stupid. (5) Other things too numerous to bother with.Too bad movies are still being made with females that suffer from their supposed 'female ineptitude' - didn't we ditch females in movies who can't run 50 feet without tripping or continually pausing to turn around and look at their pursuer or worse, just freeze in panic? Or can't pull the trigger on the maniac who is about to kill them?

First: What I hate the most in action and thriller movies are helpless victims, what I want is people die while trying. This movie had evade that thing I hate, so I give this movie a very good verdict.Second: I hate movies with such special effect, that when I watch it, I already knew it is only a special effect. (Like so many movies nowadays) This movie special effect is not perfect, but it gives the "reality" needed (real people tumbling, scattered stuff went flying all over the place, vacuum sucking effect). I literally hold my breath at certain times and jaw-dropping at later times. I also give this movie special effect a very good verdict.Third: Many movies doesn't comply to logic. This movie also doesn't stray away from this situation. But let me give you some hint. Movie-Action-Fun to watch. If you want to find logic, go watch some news, documentaries, or heck, watch Dicovery Channel. This I write for those hatters.Fourth: Humans are not perfect. Those actors and actresses filled each other, where some failed (not horribly though) and some triumphed. It's a movie, for crying out loud!!!Very Good Movie, 2 thumbs up. Enough Said!

Well, I don't like Ray Liotta. Luckily he's a mad bad guy. Lauren Holly does an alright job. All elements are average, but it comes together and many would be entertained. There's a slight ironic distance, some of the things are rather stupid, keeps things exciting, and then Lauren Holly is always good looking.Technically things works alright. However, a very low flying 747 too often travels at a ridiculous low speed. Also there's a fighter plane shooting debris off of the landing gear. Very funny.Well worth an afternoon ...:-)
