A Big Budget Hijacking Airplane Action with every cliché
possible
stuffed into it, and an aging Andy Lau as the hero albeit suffering
from a Bipolar disorder causing rage problems.
Yes, the action scenes may be ridiculous But the unhinged ending
scenes were quite entertaining.
Andy Lau the Mega
Star of Hong Kong and Chinese films since
decades back is an Icon and it's always great to see him.
But, he may be a bit old for this type of action role as lack in action
capability always leads to crappy fast cutting in action fights.
It's the same with Hollywood action movies where much too old
farts plays the roles that young men should do. The guy playing
Mike (Chuxiao Qu) in the film should've played the hero instead
and Andy Lau the bad guy.
The CEO of Asia Pacific Travel, Li Hangyu, is presenting
his new
plane A380 Jumbo Jet. A gamechanger for the company who has
had rough time economically. Everything must go well.
But onboard are i.a. Fu Yuan, her daughter Xiao Jun and without
their knowledge, her ex-husband Gao Hao Jun (Andy Lau) plus
a gang of hijackers. Can old Hao Jun take the hijackers ?
