A pretty solid thriller. I think the last thing I saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt in was Snowden which I also enjoyed, but it honestly feels like that movie came out forever ago and its sad that he isn't in more stuff these days, because I actually thought he was really good in this. Of course you've seen this kind of film before whether it be United 93 or Captain Philips and while those are both much better films than this I have to give this director credit for getting the most out of what had to be a pretty minuscule budget. I really liked how tense and claustrophobic the film felt at times and it helps that the direction is really solid as well.

This works very well for a small budgeted thriller, literally the entire movie is shot in a studio cabin and JGL carries the movie throughout, he really should be in more movies. The now-mandatory religious hijackers are also surprisingly done well specially because it makes you sympathetic with one of the hijacker. Good watch and a solid B.

Pretty tense thriller. The first half is really good how it broods the set-up and there's a nice attention to detail and introduction to the story, but the second half I liked a lot less. Maybe it's plausible how the events post-breach in the cockpit could go down, but the flip-flopping terrorist was just very unlikeable in my opinion and it felt like the plot strained itself trying to draw out the film to it's ultimate ending. Gordon Levitt is very good in it anyway and the cockpit setting feels authentic, though I've never actually sat foot in one.
