Hijacked: Flight 285 (1996)
Not even worth it for laughs
I watched this with Rifftrax commentary. I love Rifftrax but even with them I need a movie with a semblance of a plot and halfway invested actors. This movie had neither and wasn't even fun to watch to laugh at.
I'm really surprised by the positive reviews below. The acting is extremely wooden. Ally Sheedy doesn't change expression once in the entire movie. I'm not exaggerating. The lady who plays the pilot is almost just as bad. James Brolin is phoning it in. The one we're supposed to be afraid of, Anthony Michael Hall, was not intimidating at all. And I usually like his acting! It's like the director filled the set with Chloroform gas prior to each take.
Add to that the ridiculous premise and actions taken by the characters and this is an big stinky turd of a movie. No other way to say it. Even my pals at Rifftrax couldn't make it entertaining and that's unheard of! Avoid unless you're into punishing yourself.
