Rating:  - You'll wince a few times before the credits roll...
My childhood recollection of "Skyjacked" is that it was an awesome thriller.
My adult re-visit is that it BLOWS. Hilariously so.
Seriously, the plot is SO hackneyed that the romantic dream sequence...or should I say, the FIRST romantic dream sequence of, yes, two...arrives with a fade-in to a soft-focus dreamy meadow...which they thought was SO cool they do it again later, and use it as a plot twist.
Oh dear God...the overacting is the only thing I'd describe as 'awesome' now, and ... Read More
Rating:  - just terrible
This movie is a total waste of time- except maybe for the sequences showing the 707 in flight- still a beautiful airplane.

Rating:  - Camp is right! A look back after 35 years
I saw this 1972 film as a child and just loved it (this was a year before my loyalty shifted to POSEIDON ADVENTURE). I remember even reading David Harper's novel ("Hijacked") because this film made such an impression on me. Well, when I saw that it was finally being released on DVD I was a little insulted that it was being released by Warners as a "Cult Camp Classic." Well, Warners' is accurate in their labeling. My pre-teen memories of a great film was shattered by watching this low-budget disaster flick ... Read More
