Watch Hijack For Free

Wonderful Movie

Such a frustrating disappointment

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

"Interesting" is a word that got no relation whatsoever to this movie. Wanna know why. Stick around… Mr. (Shiny Ahuja) has NOTHING to be a lead of an action movie, or rather a movie ! The guy got zero charisma, zero acting talent, and zero fighting capacities (to tell you the truth I was wishing him murdered for all the time !). Undoubtedly he was the most boring factor in here, since being angry, sad, happy all by the same dead face. He seemed on drugs or lacking so much sleep, wanting his job done anyway anyhow. And by the way, according to the way he looks, I'm sure he has anemia ! The plot wasn't that bad, but why the shameful stealing from (Passenger 57), and (Executive Decision) ??!!! Some points bugged me very, such as : the scenes of the helpless ministers yakking and yakking and yakking forever, or how that ex-pilot learned all of these tricks he pulled off against the baddies ?? (the script could have made him a s.w.a.t instead !), or how the killings were extremely absurd; giving us a time to laugh more than feeling a fear. For little instance the opportunist politician, who wanted to serve the terrorists for his own agenda, has been killed so dumbly by the terrorists in the time that he could have been useful for them even if on short-range !The direction couldn't embody any kind of excitement AT ALL. The cadres got nothing to express, while it's supposed to be a thrilling action that takes place in its actual time. The atmosphere was mostly spiritless. Let alone the purely naive dealing with many matters like how some of the hijackers looked so idiot while walking and talking, how the airport's tower was having one constant cloudy image all along (it's shitty back-projection !), how the plane takes off at the end (did you see a plane that takes off in nearly half an hour ?!). And when the last fight between the lead and the main terrorist has been shot in continuous rotating I was laughing my head off, saying to myself; OK, this movie has nearly the wrong way to do everything !There was some good sad song in the middle (thank god it didn't tend to make a dancing number through a flashback of one of the terrorists !). Plus the beauty of (Esha Deol), only her beauty since she was wholly wasted and irritatingly unused. But on the contrary everything, from the budget to the twists to the fistfights to the CGI, was real poor. And when it shows before the closing credits boards about the history of planes' hijacking I was sorry for a movie that couldn't achieve its basic mission (the enjoyable action), to beg any concern by adopting another mission (being a message movie !). I was astonished when I found *strange* reviews that got the nerve to compare Die Hard 2 to Hijack?? It's like comparing Sidney Poitier to Chris Rock ! For being merciful I may go and compare it to Jim Wynorski's (Crash Landing – 2005), and in this case, just this case, (Hijack) will find something to top ! This is nothing but another B movie; small, little campy, and generally not interesting. I believe all the movie's problems are related to the fact that (Kunal Shivdasani) is the one who wrote, directed, produced, and edited it single-handedly, in the first time he does any of that as well ! Still, what could be its brutal side is the fact of its long running time. It's just inhuman to follow (Shiny Ahuja) doing anything for 2 seconds, so how about 2 HOURS !!!

To start off, at the end of the movie the text says that this event happened in real involving Chinese hijackers and a plane, but in this movie they just show a bunch of Muslim extremists hijacking an Indian Hindu plane! WTF!! But the story was pretty good, (BTW, this Bollywood movie does copy other Hollywood titles like Flight Plan and other Blockbusters) Here is a briefing; a fathers daughter gets trapped in a hijacking and decides to save her since the government is threatened not to do anything. FYI, the father was a victim of a previous hijacking where is wife was killed and everything went wrong because of him. That's why he panics when his daughter is a victim this hijacking. Nevertheless, he saves his daughter, kills the hijackers, gets a crush on a flight attendant that helped him out, and they live happily ever after!... But I have just wasted 3 happy hours of mine already by watching this movie! I do recommend this movie to someone who gets touched in the heart by crying clips and fake fighting clips. Other than that, this is a more of a boyish movie made into a girlish emotional movie. Good luck watching it if your still interested!

This is another formula film coming out of the latest edition of Indian producers' film manual......... put some Muslim names as terrorists, don't miss any opportunity to insult that religion, copy some scenes from Hollywood and old Indian movies and bingo......... I have never seen such a predictable movie before. The hero of the movie is first shown as a pilot or co-pilot when his wife got killed in some plane hijack and then he becomes the engineer and knows all the tricks and techniques about the airplanes. The plane is standing on the airport and Mr. Hero is digging in holes in plane's floor with a drill machine and no one listens to it. Looks like the movie is made in some hurry and no importance has been given to editing and script. 2 out of 10.

This movie has been inspired and perhaps even copied a bit by three if not four movies - "Die Hard," Die Hard 2," "Lethal Weapon" and "Raid On Entebbe." The latter is actually based on true story while this is not. I say that this is inspired by the movies that I have mentioned and not copied for the simple reason being that there are certain points that are not quite similar and the most obvious one is songs and the other being locations. But there are others as well.Vikram Madan, a widow and a former airline pilot, is moved to being a ground maintenance officer after the air craft that he is piloting is high jacked and in which his wife is killed. But one day he gets informed that the aircraft that his daughter is travelling in, has been high jacked and unable to forget how his wife died and unable to get any help from the relevant authorities, he decides to take action.Shiny Ahuja could have done a better job but unfortunately, the only scenes that have helped him and his character in this movie are action scenes. But Hema Malini and Dharmendra's daughter, Esha Deol, has again shown some improvement in her acting and perhaps now, may require a good director, even though Kunal Shivdasani has not done a bad job of this but it could have been better.Being an action and a thriller genre movie, this lacked the ingredients to serve that type of impact as such a genre movie is capable of and therefore the thriller part of it seemed not to exist even though the title says it all. Besides the action in the film, the only other item that was good to know was the facts and the figures, related to high jacking which are shown at the end. There are some flaws in this but it would be better not to mention them.Earlier I mentioned that this was inspired by "Raid On Entebbe," I still maintain that but there are a lot of similarities as well such as those of smuggling of weapons on the air craft.Conclusion: Unfortunately, this is an below average movie, which due to the action sequences, may not be advisable to watch with children.
