A female FBI agent is offered millions to help a thief escape from a hijacked airplane. Altitude is unfortunately a very bad and low budget film but then again? should i be expecting anything more? Once again the people who make those posters showcases Lundgren as the main star but he was hardly even in this movie. The special effects looked like they came out from the 1960's or something and Denise Richards character was very hard to like or even care about. The storyline was pretty much a mess as well and definitely skip it (0/10)

An FBI agent is demoted to a desk job back in Washington DC. By a stroke of luck, she's upgraded to business class on her flight - but as soon as the plane takes off, her seatmate offers her a fortune if she can get him off the plane alive. Altitude is a very noticeably low budget air drama which fails to rise above its fake feel to produce any suspense. All the elements are there for an air disaster film but there's nothing new at all being offered to an audience very aware of this subgenre. The villains are just noisy, unbelievable and not too threatening despite the story having them do bad things. And because their acting is below par it was left to Denise Richards and Kirk Barker to describe how evil they apparently all are, and keep it all going, in the hope of landing soon.

I wanted to watch this movie because i love Dolph but, um he is hardly in it and just makes a lot of facial expressions when he is.
so uh, a group thugs/thieves hijack a plane because one of the partners in crime stole from them. lets see, could they of perhaps followed him from the plane and taken it. oh sorry logic. i don't understand why those type of masks the hired guns wore, served no purpose. and passengers jumping out of a moving plane over water, seriously. at that speed, they would be ripped apart.
they did a lousy job of stunt woman and Denise. gosh i couldn't tell stunt or Denise. lol and the parachute scene, laughable.
Denise Richards stellar acting (sarcasm), guess that's why she is only in b-movies eh
so to sum it up, bad acting, stupid plot

Within the first few minutes I said, "This has got to be a satire." I was hooked, "What kind of movie is this?" The male flight attendant confirmed this first impression by dancing down the aisle singing, while passengers jeered and told him to shut up. Soft lighting on the female flight attendant, harsh lighting on the protagonist. Was the first a robotic Stepford Wife? The latter anorexic? Every few minutes another plot, dialog, continuity or prop error. What was going on? What kept my attention was anticipating the next jolting persistence of disbelief. "Look at that!" "It's pathetic!" "Who wrote, directed, DPed, lit the scenes and created the FX?" "Didn't anyone on the set notice?" I thought of Dolly Parton's words, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." The conversations with flight control were wrong and the flight controller's screens were of Los Angeles. The fights were clumsy. Others reviewers have listed the most egregious shots. I took delight in chalking up each fault. The final scene of the protagonists parachuting had me almost out of my seat: there they were, together at last, probably standing on the floor with harness and rope disappearing off the screen above. The ubiquitous fake snow flying (or was it sandpaper on a rotating drum) and yet they didn't sway one millimeter during their descent, if it was supposed to be a descent. They were as fixed as statues with the Himalayan alps silhouetted in the background. "It takes a lot of work to make a film this bad." A film this bad can make us all feel good...
