“I was kind of mystified by the fact that they made two sequels to u0026quot;Turbulenceu0026quot;, a movie that didnu0026#39;t do well with both critics and the box office. Finally seeing it several months ago, I could understand why. But I decided to see this second u0026quot;sequelu0026quot; (it has nothing to do with the events of the first movie… and probably the second movie as well) since I had the opportunity to see it for free.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, this Canadian movie is one of the few that has something distinctly Canadian in it (the plane is flying to the city Toronto). And the production values arenu0026#39;t as cheap as with many Canadian films, though some of the interiors of the plane look kind of cheesy. (Plus, the stock footage used is VERY obvious, since it came from a much more expensive film.) Also, I found that the choice for the hero chosen to fight the villains on the plane kind of a surprise. Usually this particular kind of character in hostage situations like this remains helpless until the very end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThatu0026#39;s about all thatu0026#39;s positive I can say about this movie. While I didnu0026#39;t find the movie terrible, I did find it pretty dull. There are pretty much no surprises in this movie. If youu0026#39;ve seen one hostage movie, you have seen this one. Plus, the movie took a surprisingly long time to unfold – 3/4 of the movie goes by before the good guys finally start fighting back.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNote to Rutger Hauer fans – itu0026#39;s pretty obvious that all of his scenes were filmed in one day.”
