Really Surprised!
Best movie ever!
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Cool - here comes Vinnie Jones, whom I'm a big fan of & Dominic Purcell.The aircraft scenes look like they're shot in a hotel - very confusing. Do they really have glass fruit bowls sitting on polished wooden tables? Or cargo bays with cars inside, fully pressurised and air-conditioned with extensive lighting and stairs leading up to the passenger compartment?The action... they do a clever job of avoiding any real action on screen - and there is no excitement or suspense. The budget for this movie obviously wouldn't even cover the price of admission. The story was so bad, and the plot so sad, that I had to resist the urge to turn it off for a while. Initially thinking it was going to be a pythonesque slow starting rip roaring comedy...The joke's on me for wasting 40 minutes on this trash!
While he's done some other movies here and there, none have given MMA legend Randy Couture more exposure than The Expendables. After the success of that film it comes as no surprise that he is now getting the chance to headline his own action film in Hijacked. Clearly he has the action ability, but is he ready to carry a film all on his own as a leading man? Hijacked follows a special agent who is trying to reconcile with his ex, but when the plane they are on gets hijacked by the crime lord he is chasing he will have to put the relationship on hold and get into action. This movie is in the same vein as films like Die Hard 2 and Passenger 57 with one major difference, the action. How you can take an actor who is clearly built and known for fighting and throw him in a movie with very little action is a mystery. This film fails to deliver in a big way on the one thing it needed to work, the action. There is little to no action throughout this movie and what little there is becomes pretty forgettable fast. Here you have a simple story similar to every action movie to come along in the 90's, throw in a guy who has the look and the real life training to fight and they give him no fights at all. There are a few shoot outs here and there, but the couple of fights you get could have been done by anyone. Couture actually does a decent job with his acting and could have easily delivered a fun action movie, but thanks to this film he is treading on doubt of becoming a true action hero.This is was a huge disappointment. Make no mistake anyone willing to check this out doesn't expect much from Couture himself as he is still finding his footing as an actor, but the action was the saving grace of it all and it's just not there. If you're a fan of Couture and really need a fix, just go check him out in the upcoming Expendables 2 and don't let this film soil your memories of him.http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-dallas/bobby-blakey
I love plane movies where they are hijacked or something like that. Although this may not be the best the storyline is great. It also has a nice twist at the end which I didn't see coming. The acting wasn't the best by some characters but the main characters were brilliant. I especially liked the Randy Couture in this one. He is a great actor and he was brilliant in this one. The storyline is one of those take over the plane ones with a few twists added in. The ending is one of the best I have seen but not gonna give it away for you guys!!!Seriously I don't know how this has only got a 1.4 rating. It's ridiculous!!! Anyway guys this was definitely worth the $7.50 to at least rent it.
The whole approach to this movie took me back to the '80's, an era when the genre was at an all time height and the story didn't seemed to matter all that much. The era of big, dumb, overblown action movies, in which a lot of classics got made but even more absolutely horrible movies. I'm sad to say that this is also an absolutely horrible movie, that does some absolutely stupid things.First of all, for most of the time I had absolutely no idea what was going. About halfway in it, I still had no idea who all these people on the plane were and why they were on it and what the hijackers wanted exactly. And it's not done in a mysterious thriller type of way but all done in a clearly incapable and lazy way. The storytelling is just absolutely horrible at times and the way the entire movie flows and develops certain story elements are done in an atrocious way!Every time I thought that the movie would start to become potential good and interesting it would cut off and go to something completely different. You could say that the movie is being way too short and should had taken its time with some of its story- and character development. Yes, it sounds strange but I wanted this awful movie to be longer, so some things could had developed into something potentially good and more interesting maybe.The editing makes the movie all the more worse at times. I don't know but it at times feels as if entire sequences were missing and it at times makes some sudden jumps. It will confuse you and lets some sudden developments and scenes come across as incredibly stupid.And I also can't really say that this is an action filled movie. There are a couple of good old fashioned fist fights and some weapons get fired but overall its just nothing tense or spectacular to watch. There is of course only so much you can do with its premise and settings but simple fact is that there are plenty of other genre movies around that do a great job with its concept of a plane being hijacked in midair, so it really shouldn't be an excuse for this movie.And how are the likes of Randy Couture, Dominic Purcell and Vinnie Jones in this? Absolutely awful, though I feel you can't blame any of them really. When given the right material, all of them still could be some decent action hero stars.It's just as bad as any other dumb, low budget, action flick but this movie does some very stupid and incompetent stuff as well, making this movie worse to watch than just the average genre attempt.3/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
