This movie is boring and crap. The scenes are weak and silly, the characters aren't well written and their actions don't make sense. For some reason, the plane is the size of a shopping mall, with dozens of compartments and areas that aren't connected to each other, and where nobody knows what's happening in any other part of the plane. I guess the curtains are sound proof since nobody hears any shootings throughout the plane. People are killed for zero reason which makes the violence feel gratuitous and dull. The writers also take dozens of liberties throughout the film, the director even skips an entire sequence of events in order to move the story forward.

Big fan of Andy Lau here. He is a great man and a great actor.

Regarding the plot, some would say it's pretty standard for a hijack type of film. And I would agree with them. But It's executed well and it didn't felt forced. I don't start watching a hijack film expecting it's goner be 100% unique.

The casts other than Andy Lau, are quite good. Nothing over-the-top trying to glorify the characters hollywood style, thankfully.

Overall it's exciting enough constantly, really a decent movie. As for the 10 Star, why the 10 Star? I could haven't given it a true 8 Stars. BUT seems like there are other biased reviewers here putting extremely low scores without logical reasons. Figured I'll just exercise the third law of Newton.

Man, this one's a solid ride-action, thrill, and a pinch of drama (okay, maybe a bit too much drama at the climax, but we'll get to that).

The film starts by diving into Gao Haojun's (Andy Lau) backstory-his struggles with family, how his daughter became blind , and his temper issues, all of which shaped him into the international security expert he is now. I ain't spoiling the details, but it's got all the punches, literally and emotionally.

Special mention to the actress who played Gao Haojun's blind daughter-her performance was really amazing .

Yeah, the climax leaned heavy on the drama (a bit too much), but the rest? Solid action with acting to back it up. No complaints otherwise. Watch it.

And let's not forget that closing song- It hit harder than some of the punches in the movie.
