Idris Elba’s character’s ability to confront and control the hijackers without being killed, or at least silenced, by them was completely unbelievable, as were a number of other aspects of the series. Ditto as to his ability to direct and control the other passengers. And why, for goodness sakes, didn’t he find some way to get the copilot into the cockpit at the end?

A well executed, beautifully realized sprawling epic of a movie. There were a few stumbles but not enough to seriously detract from the positive impact of the picture.

Beautiful to watch but difficult to understand. The plot meandered all over the lush landscape. In a effort to be authentic, the dialogue went too far and proved too much. Much of it was so cryptic that I couldn’t follow much of it.

It was quite realistic and overall was excellent!

We need more films like this, i.e., a romantic drama about middle class Black adults dealing with real life issues without the overhang of poverty and racism. We need those stories, too, but unlike this one, those not in short supply. A little too gauzy and unfocused, but it gets an “A” for effort.

Excellent movie. Multiple plot twists. Believable main character. Heartbreaking ending. I can’t understand the low ratings by others.

A passably entertaining thriller. Not terrible but not great either. If I could, I would have rated it three and a half stars, so I was charitable with four.

Terrible. He is beaten senseless, stabbed, and shot and recovers instantaneously and with no ill effects. And no one could have used the clues relied on in the film to solve the crime at issue.

Inexplicably and relentlessly abstruse, not to mention senseless and completely unbelievable even as symbolism.

Inventive and charming but it doesn’t entirely hold together. Still, it’s sufficiently imaginative to overlook that fact. I’d have to watch it again to be certain that I didn’t miss something that actually makes the conclusion hang together better than I think it does.
