It was a disaster really,but for some reason I just went with the flow and totally decided to get into the spirit of things and enjoyed it.Sometimes you have to think "This movie is bad",but is it possible to enjoy a bad movie?,Hell yes,put your feet up and chill out for an hour and a half and forget about life for a change,you may even enjoy it you never know.Denise Richards is still worth a look at least.
Denise Richards plays an FBI hostage negotiator who is being banished to a desk job. On her flight she is upgraded after an altercation with an obese passenger and ends up sitting next to a charming Brit in first class. When the Brit sees Dolph Lundgren on the plane he offers Richards $50 million dollars to get him off the plane safely. Pretty soon the bad guys take over the plane.
Altitude AKA Hijack is a bad action film with a terrible script and mostly shot in the dark so you can hardly see a thing. It is low budget and low wattage action. An awful dog of a film.

Denise Richards has the worst upside down smile ever when she isn't smiling. Showing her age badly. I love the parts in the movie when the passengers are on oxygen and the hijackers are wearing dust masks. Are audiences really that stupid these days? It really pisses us of that you think so. Just bad. Very very bad. B actors, Has been actresses. waste of a percentage of your life to sit through it.
Once I watched the first 2 minutes of the movie and it was nothing but about 12 different production companies, I knew I was in for a terrible movie. I'm guess they all kicked in $10,000 each. As others have stated, there are huge issues with physics of the aircraft, and the acting is a notch below B movie. The script was highly predictable and fairly boring. Don't waste your time.
Mostly I don't mind bad movies too much. Late at night, can't sleep, I'll watch anything.
Well, except this again.
Rubbish story with holes and gaps, atrocious acting and ridiculous effects.
