"I'm not in a position to delay your departure, but if you choose to fly I strongly recommend you double all your security efforts." Paul Ross (Couture) is a special agent who is great at his job but not his personal life. He has just broken up with his fiancé and his best friend just got killed. To make matters worse he has just boarded a plane that his ex is on and it has just been hijacked by people working for the crime lord he is looking for. I have to admit that I had really low expectations for this one. Most wrestler movies are not that impressive and after watching this one I guess same goes for MMA. This is a movie where the writers said he can put a UFC guy in this and have him beat people up, that will make people watch. The sad fact is that that it true. The fighting was good, but the movie overall was totally flat. No emotion, no intrigue and I actually found myself wanting to shut it off or fast forward it. My inner struggle actually helped because my talking to myself not only was more entertaining but made the time go by quicker. I was hoping for "Air Force One" meets "Passanger 57". I couldn't have been more wrong. On the plus side there is a scene of nudity halfway through...so there is that. Overall, a movie for really hardcore wrestling/mma movie fans. I had to struggle to get through it. I give it a C-.

Movie Reviews
A long, boring and drawn out movie where the idea is better then the execution. Couture is not a good actor at all. I say C-
Hopeless attempt at thriller action movie
I was intrigued to see Vinnie Jones in this movie as he is slipping down the ratings and only popping up in low level rubbish these days. As soon as the movie started i realised this was also low level rubbish, there is something charming and addictive to seeing low budget movies, I usually end up laughing at the plots that fall apart and silly fight scenes. This did the same for me, Vinnie even invited his own death from a beautiful assassin, such a silly plot, continuous drivel dialogue, over and under acted plots, it has everything that low budget movies throw out. I tried laughing but it wasn't quite bad enough to become a comedy. I ended up playing some online game with my 10 year old daughter while the movie was playing. There was no such thing as a hidden plot as the link between some mysterious terrorist group the the Lieb organisation was given to us in the first 1 minute, that is usually a bad sign when they explain the plot in the introduction. Quite appalling but not complete tosh. but not worth the time wasted on watching it.
Bad acting, OK action
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.
