Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

TdSmth5 Gretchen is a badass FBI agent involved in diffusing hostage situations. In the intro we meet her breaking protocol and doing stupid and dangerous stuff, but for a good cause, namely to save the life of the hostage-taker. She succeeds but it gets her re-assigned to desk-duty in DC.On her flight to DC she's moved to first class--a seat next to the obligatory Brit, can't even have a B-movie without one of those. And we also meet a bunch of unsavory characters, and one seemingly nice guy with a gun. When Dolph gets on the flight, the Brit gets seriously anxious and offers Gretchen a bunch of money to make sure he gets out alive. He knows something terrible is about to happen.And sure enough. Gretchen finds a dead flight attendant and her Brit goes missing. Dolph takes control of the cockpit and throws the plane into a deep dive. That allows the bad guys to take control of the airplane. Gretchen enlists the help of the marshal--the nice guy with the gun, who is a rookie and doesn't know what to do, which allows Gretchen of course to be in charge.She runs into the Brit eventually and she learns why the bad guys are after him. Of course the few good guys will have to somehow regain control of the plane and save their lives, except that Dolph has some pretty sinister plans for the plane.Altitude is an B-action thriller with not a whole lot of action. Dolph in fact doesn't get involved in any action whatsoever. The cast is relatively strong, the story is alright, with some unusual elements. Dialogue is good. Cosmetic surgery hasn't done Denise Richards any favors, but her voice acting is excellent. The main problem with this movie is that for the resolution they chose to film it in complete darkness, I imagine for budgetary reasons. The problem is that it actually does take some budget to make stuff filmed at night look good. And here it doesn't at all. And unfortunately, the outdoor night scenes are action and CGI-intensive, and most of it is visually unintelligible. Altitude isn't a terrible movie by any means, but unfortunately they didn't have enough of a budget.

kamikaze-4 Reminiscent of 90s action flicks, this dumb, but never boring trash flick has Denise Richards doing the action heroine role reserved for people like Cynthia Rothrock and her peers. Yeah, the movie is dumb, and some of the acting is spotty, (Greer Grammar for example), but being stuck inside of the house during a monsoon, this movie makes you forget the plot-holes, awful girl/girl fight with Richards and Grammar and other annoyances these type of movies are noted for. Dolph Lundgren was wasted....as usual. Pay close attention to the passenger sitting next to air marshal. In one scene he looks like he's asleep when he's supposed to be terrified.

nickgessler Within the first few minutes I said, "This has got to be a satire." I was hooked, "What kind of movie is this?" The male flight attendant confirmed this first impression by dancing down the aisle singing, while passengers jeered and told him to shut up. Soft lighting on the female flight attendant, harsh lighting on the protagonist. Was the first a robotic Stepford Wife? The latter anorexic? Every few minutes another plot, dialog, continuity or prop error. What was going on? What kept my attention was anticipating the next jolting persistence of disbelief. "Look at that!" "It's pathetic!" "Who wrote, directed, DPed, lit the scenes and created the FX?" "Didn't anyone on the set notice?" I thought of Dolly Parton's words, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." The conversations with flight control were wrong and the flight controller's screens were of Los Angeles. The fights were clumsy. Others reviewers have listed the most egregious shots. I took delight in chalking up each fault. The final scene of the protagonists parachuting had me almost out of my seat: there they were, together at last, probably standing on the floor with harness and rope disappearing off the screen above. The ubiquitous fake snow flying (or was it sandpaper on a rotating drum) and yet they didn't sway one millimeter during their descent, if it was supposed to be a descent. They were as fixed as statues with the Himalayan alps silhouetted in the background. "It takes a lot of work to make a film this bad." A film this bad can make us all feel good...

sleggatt-73369 This movie is complete and utter trash , given the choice to watch it again or get a potato peeler and peel my eye balls ..... I d be in the kitchen right now hunting out the peeler !It took me a while initially to get over the fact Denise Richards looked like one of the 2 guys from white chicks . The story , acting , directing , lighting and effects are all hugely flawed and holed ...... It's just terrible . I can only suspect there are paid reviewers trying to get some people to pay for and watch this movie to cover some of its costs . There's no way anyone who's actually watched this movie could really rate it above 4 at a big push . It's Just nonsense
