Review of Hijacked

Hijacked (2012)
1/10
Bad writing and/or directing.
2 August 2012
I enjoy a good movie without action, but this was touted as an action flick. We used to get more action from Ozzie and Harriet. Unfortunately, with this unbelievably contrived and obvious script, even a tough guy like Randy Couture didn't have a chance. First, Mr. Couture was much more soft-spoken, easy going and mild- mannered than he should have been, and he along with all the CIA agents were laughably inept. If an amateur manages to knock a person down and he stays down, I suppose that person might possibly lay down his weapon and go over to comfort a frightened woman, but a trained and experienced CIA agent? Give me a break. These guys did this sort of lame trick throughout the picture just to give their opponents another chance to jump them, thus prolonging the movie to its obligatory ninety minutes, and of course we knew who the Real Bad Guy was before the credits stopped rolling. Sorry guys. I like Randy Couture and Vinnie Jones too. Mr. Jones really got the short end of the stick here, but I guess a job's a job. Boy was that a dollar wasted at Red Box. I should have bought a lottery ticket at the machine next to it.
