The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I expected a B movie with some cheesy action to redeem it. Indeed the DVD jacket suggested the bare bones of a plot that the film did fulfill. But nothing could have warned me that fulfillment could be so boring, so stupid, and so unconvincing.One starts to get an idea by the flatness of the dialog and emotion at the start. Does it ever improve? No. The actors have looks but they never seem invested. The style is low budget TV or straight to video.Then the first action scene is there delivering nothing worth watching as well yet nonetheless impressing me: must the characters--good guys and bad--really be that dumb in a firefight? Must they fight so badly? Incredible! Next we get to the airplane and by then there's no doubt what will be delivered: a film neither convincing enough to be worthwhile nor cheesy enough to overcome its stupidities. The set says it by looking nothing like an airplane. The special effects say it by looking unrealistic. The characters say it by reacting to danger, injury, and threat with true stupidity. The plot says it by lacking so much common sense in its particulars that there's no buying into any part of it.I can't recommend this movie on any level. But if you're a glutton for self-flagellation, a fan of boring, or looking for a movie that you can walk away from without missing anything, then maybe you'll want to check this out. In such an ill-considered event, I recommend that you attempt to keep your brain half alive by attempting to note some fraction of the ways stupid will out. For example, as a teaser, how would you handle events like these: - Protecting self from gunfire.Moving and fighting while shot, stabbed, or something.Wound care for your friends.Someone there to kill you.On plane expecting bad things will happen.Airplane safety procedures and equipment.Keeping somebody captured from posing further threat.Hide from people who would kill you.I like lots of B action movies. But this one is not worth watching.Really! Find some another movie.

I wish I could place a 0,1 out of 10.The plot was awful and the movie as a whole likewise. Acting, scenery and every aspect of the film, were nothing short of amateur! I was counting down the time to switch of my DVD player but to no avail. One and a half hour seemed to me endless. What a pity for Vinnie! Do not waist your time watching this crap!!! You should go for a coffee, or eat a burger or something. My disappointment was also increased by Dominic Purcell. I am a great fun of PRISON BREAK and this also applies to Dominic. Why Dominic? Why? The movie has taken place in a hotel the decoration of which could never be a part of a plane. PLEASE DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched this movie, without reading any of the reviews here. I saw the actors, read the plot and so I thought I would be watching something spectacular.Sadly.... this movie, that misses the most vital ingredients to make it a good movie, is just a badly copied and slightly changed version of so many good hijack movies that already exist. Even movies from the 90's have better acting, more suspense and way-more special effects. Besides the predictability of this movie is huge! In short: this movie is not worth your time and money to watch. If a high-suspense hijack movie is what you're looking for, please do rent or buy another movie. I think Dominic Purcell(Prison Break) is a great actor, but in this movie he's definitely at his best. This goes for other good actors in this movie as well.

...or so I thought, at least before the very end. No spoiler alert here, but I gotta say, the end kinda salvaged this one from being a whirlwind fail of epic proportions.After watching Hijacked, one thing is entirely and abundantly clear, Randy Couture is no actor, and probably never will be. I didn't watch this in the first place because I thought so, no, I picked this one because Randy Couture is a former MMA fighter, and that's what I wanna see him do in movies: fight. There are a few of those sequences in Hijacked alright, but those are way too scarce and way too short. Instead of writing a role for him where he had to manhandle his opponents the right way, the producers and writers of Hijacked obviously want the other way, hoping they would outsmart us all, by giving Mr Couture a dialog driven part. Well, that didn't work out so well, so they actually outsmarted themselves.Yes, there are a few glimpses of real surprise, like two very premature deaths for instance, but that's right about it. Often enough you should stick with what you know, because 99% of the time it will work, but that's not what they were gunning for here. The dialogs seem to have been written by some five year old, the acting is at times worse than at my local summer amateur theater, and the story line seems like a potpourri of movies seen a thousand times before. Why in the world Dominic Purcell agreed on participating is way beyond me. And Vinnie Jones probably just did it for a laugh, or maybe he lost a drinking bet, I don't know.To be fair, the story would have been sufficient, if there would have been less dialog and more fighting. Just a good ole Steven Segal-esque movie, that would have done just fine. But no, they wanted to make a "real film" out of it, and in the end missed almost all points by a mile. So yeah, this movie has no point at all, and I'll be damned if ever watch this one again.As for Randy Couture, well, I think his stuff might even work as a lead, but he would need a real script for that, less dialog and sure as hell more fighting scenes. Because that's what he does best, and if he doesn't see that, well, than his acting "career" is already done. I would watch real action movies starring Randy Couture as the lead persona, I really would, because the fights on Hijacked, as short as they were, reminded us of what he can do with his fists, elbows and knees, so just let him do that. All that of course doesn't mean write an awful movie and Couture will fight his way through. No, write something good, something that actually makes sense, and then you let him fight the bad guys. Sounds rather easy, but as Hijacked has showed, it's far from it.
