No complaints on action or story. Though a simple plot the movie moves along and keeps a good pace with the adventure.
Where it falls short is reality. But this is typical for hollywood where all movie hours are considered 'not to bright.
Some nice picking of plot... That being said. The plane is a really old 727. The 727 is probably the oldest plane still flying at 70 years of flight. In fact only 38 are reported worldwide to still be in use.
I can guarantee that there is no 'Board Room' with executives in another country with the airlines that still fly this aged jet. Also, though old, the plane was well designed. In fact, it was fitted with an automatic power unit, APU, and in case of total AV failure (movie plot), there is also a drop out RAT (Ram Air Turbine) which operates on battery side to keep power for badic instruments and flight control. This evidently did not fit into the story plot since story required a 10 minute power drain of batteries. Also found it interesting the rear stairs was not used to evacuate but was shown in use latter.. But this is just nick picking. The movie us a solid 7 STARS and is worth a watch. I enjoyed it.
