A group of ruthless convicts hijack a plane and only one falsely imprisoned good guy can stop their plan. There's plenty of action and explosions but not nearly enough humour to compensate for the stupidity of the whole endeavour. In the end this is a bog standard Jerry Bruckheimer production. The cast is impressive, but that's not enough.
