Culture Mix

High Forces is generic and utterly forgettable cinematic junk about a hijacked plane where the hero's family is in danger and the action scenes are ridiculous. All of this unimaginative predictability adds up to a very mind-numbing film.

Edmund Lee

South China Morning Post

As an action icon who often also backs himself in a co-producer capacity, Lau should better realise that the idiotic stories he fronts are eating into his star image.

Rated: 2/5

The Straits Times (Singapore)

This dated airplane thriller fails to take off despite Lau's star power and impressive set design.

Rated: 2/5

Casey's Movie Mania

Despite Andy Lau's star power, this Die Hard-on-a-plane action thriller is laughably absurd.

Rated: 1.5/5

Good action sequence, poor editing. Andy Lau did a good job but the cuts and transition are so awkward. Bad director.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
