Notes

My quick rating - 3,3/10. How dare they make a flick called 97 Minutes and give us a running time of 93 minutes??? That is some terrible fight choreography. The flick attempts to deliver an intense ticking-clock scenario aboard a hijacked 767 airplane facing an imminent disaster due to dwindling fuel supply, promising a gripping experience for the audience. Unfortunately, this potential is severely marred by the movie's glaring flaws. One of the most significant issues plaguing the film is the laughably terrible fight choreography. For a film that hinges on action and suspense, it's disappointing to see poorly choreographed fight scenes that fail to deliver the adrenaline-pumping excitement they should have provided. The lack of authenticity in the action sequences takes away from the film's credibility and dampens the impact of the hijacking crisis. Moreover, the film suffers from a multitude of writing problems, ranging from plot holes to inconsistencies. The script's flaws are evident from the very beginning, leaving you scratching your head at various poorly explained plot developments. Characters make decisions that defy logic, and the narrative fails to maintain a cohesive flow. The lack of attention to detail becomes apparent, especially in technical aspects such as aviation procedures, cabin pressure, and security protocols. The film's premise relies heavily on a ticking clock scenario, an aspect that could have provided a gripping sense of urgency and tension. However, due to the haphazard execution of the story and technical inaccuracies, the stakes fail to resonate. The tension that should have been built throughout the movie is undermined by the viewers' inability to fully immerse themselves in the plot due to its unrealistic and implausible elements. The whole flick just appears to lack any semblance of research when it comes to aviation-related matters. From flying and landing a plane to mid-air debris explosions and cabin pressure, the film's portrayal of these elements is far from accurate. The lack of attention to these critical details not only detracts from the film's credibility but also makes it difficult for viewers to suspend disbelief and invest in the unfolding drama. While the ticking clock scenario attempts to inject urgency, it fails to salvage the film from its myriad of issues. If you're seeking a well-crafted and authentic high-stakes thriller, you definitely made the wrong choice if you are clicking from below.
