nims-1975 Passenger 57 is an absolutely brilliant thriller which is enjoyable to watch. The film is full of action, tension, explosions and awesome and powerful Martial Arts moves. The film has an excellent cast starring Wesley Snipes as John Cutter, Bruce Payne as Charles Rane, Tom Sizemore as Sly Delvecchio, Alex Datcher as Marti Slayton, Elizabeth Hurley as Sabrina Ritchie, Michael Horse as Forget and Marc Macaulay as Vincent. Wesley Snipes acting as Airline Security Expert John Cutter is absolutely brilliant and his Martial Arts moves were awesome. Bruce Paynes acting as the malicious Terrorist Charles Rane was also absolutly brilliant and he sounded very evil the way he spoke in the film which was also absolutely brilliant and Bruce really did a brilliant job acting as the villain Charles Rane. The acting by Tom Sizemore as Sly Delvecchio and Alex Datcher was also brilliant. The acting by Elizabeth Hurley as Sabrina Ritchie, Michael Horse as Forget and Marc Macaulay as Vincent as the terrorists who were part of Charles Ranes team was also brilliant. There are so many things that I like about this film, one thing is that the Passenger 57 theme tune is absolutely brilliant and sounds awesome and really goes with the film, another thing is that the action is awesome and amazing. There are many more things that I like about this film, it's hard to say what they all are but I definitely can say that Passenger 57 is an absolutely brilliant Wesley Snipes film. Wesley Snipes does some excellent films and in thrillers he has starred in, when he has to fight he does fight very well and in this film he really kicks ass when using his Martial Arts moves to fight against the villains. Snipes may not be as strong as Michael Jai White but he's got skills in a few Martial Arts and is quite powerful. In Passenger 57 when John Cutter is on the plane wanting help he is seated holding a book called The Art of War. The film the Art of War starring Wesley Snipes is also an excellent film with action and awesome fight scenes. I don't know why Passenger 57 is underrated and has been given only 5.9/10 and why some people have given it low scores of 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10 and 6/10. Those people who have given Passenger 57 low scores and written unfair comments about the film are dickheads because this film is awesome. People who given it 7/10, 8/10, 9/10 and 10/10 are not dickheads and know that this film is an awesome film. One thing about Passenger 57 is that you definitely won't be disappointed when watching it because it's absolutely awesome and amazing and I definitely will watch this film again because I don't find or think it's boring. I absolutely love this film and definitely recommend watching this film if you really like Wesley Snipes films.

andrewfleming-57891 This film is bad. Theres almost nothing good about it. The 5 is for its watchability and the fact that it is almost trting to be bad in a funny way. However, the acting is awful. The main hijacker is particulay bad. It isnt funmy either and the special effects are poor even if they are 25 years old. Also I think it would work better without the fairground scene and instead keeping the entire film on the airplane to help create a more claustrophobic atmosphere. The black and white flashback is also unnesseccary as well as very cheesy. This film is neither original nor exciting. Best avoided.

SnoopyStyle Charles Rane (Bruce Payne) is a ruthless terrorist. The FBI manages to capture him right before he is able to get plastic surgery. Former secret service agent John Cutter (Wesley Snipes) is still haunted by his dead wife. His old friend Sly Delvecchio (Tom Sizemore) gets him an airline security job. Marti Slayton is the brash flight attendant. They are flying out to L.A. Also on the plane, Rane is being transported accompanied two FBI agents. The problem is that Rane's people are also on board and they're armed. Cutter forces the plane to land.This is simply a fun action thriller. The script has a lot of action and the . It doesn't necessarily take it too seriously. Wesley Snipes delivers the action and Schwarzenegger-worthy one liners. "Always bet on Black!" There is enough wild action. Bruce Payne is terrific. He milks every insane Bond villain move. It is a lot of fun especially if you don't try to dissect everything.

CowherPowerForever The following review will contain some spoilers. Do not continue reading if you have not seen the film.As a huge 80s and 90s fan of the action genre, Passenger 57 is one of those smaller films that made a big impression on me as I was growing up. Going back after a couple years to watch it again, I can honestly say this film is still so much fun. With amazing one liners and a fantastic bad guy, this is an action movie hardcore genre fans must see. This is my review of Passenger 57.The film was written by Stewart Raffill, Dan Gordon, and David Lougherty. Raffill is widely known for directing the 1984 hit, The Philadelphia Experiment. Gordon actually was a pretty big writer having also written the Kevin Costner western, Wyatt Earp. Lougherty is still around to this day having recently wrote Lakeview Terrace in 2008 and Nurse 3D in 2013. The story for this film is very simple and follows the 80s/90s action genre to the letter. The story follows Charles Rane(played by Bruce Payne) who is a major terrorist that the FBI is tracking down. Having tracked him down at his plastic surgeon's office right before he is going to change his face once again they are able to force him out. This is where some crazy stuff happens as Rane literally jumps out of a very taller building, from fairly high up, with no damage at all. You have to love that stuff. The FBI later catches up to him while in foot pursuit and arrested him. Later in the film John Cutter(played by Wesley Snipes) is on his way to California for a new job opportunity. Little does he know at the time that Rane is also being transported on the same flight. If you are a genre fan you already know where this is going. While there is nothing award winning in this film, it is filled with great one liners and amazingly written characters for the type of film. Raffill, Gordon, and Lougherty deserve much credit for delivering a great script.The film was directed by Kevin Hooks. While Hooks mainly directed direct to video movies and now TV shows for most of his career, he has a couple movies like Passenger 57 under his belt. While the action scenes are nothing too explosive like other genre films, the heavier scenes look fantastic, never looking too zoomed in or moving too much with the camera. As I mentioned above the film has some hilarious moments like the moment when Rane jumps out of that building with no harm done at all, getting right up and continuing his attempt at running away from the FBI. I just love moments like that. Later in the film Cutter fights one of the bad guys on the plane with a gulf club. This stuff is too funny. There are also a couple very nice hand to hand combat fights that I really enjoyed. As for the acting, it is top notch for this type of film. With actors like Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne, you cannot go wrong. With secondary actors playing bad guys like Marc Macaulay and Michael Horse, this really sets the tone for a great action film. Even the great Tom Sizemore has a smaller role in this film with a great character name of Sly Delvecchio. That cheesiness fits this film so much. Overall, Hooks does a very good job of giving us one of the better 90s action films with fun characters and even better action. Hooks gets a big thumbs up in my book.The film was composed by Stanley Clarke who is known for his scores of films like The Transporter and Boyz n the Hood. I really love his score on Passenger 57. It has that amazing feel to it that many smaller action movies brought during the 80s and even 90s. While this film is much bigger into the 90s scene, there is a nice hint of 80s score to it as well. Clarke delivers a fantastic score for us fans to enjoy as we are watching this amazing film. Big thumps up.In closing, this is a must watch for fans who love action movies, who love cheesy action movies, and fans who love a good Wesley Snipes film. With a fantastic 90s score, and an amazing bad guy, this film will keep you very interested for the entire course of the film. The film is likely fairly cheap to buy on Blu-Ray as well as DVD these days, so getting a copy wouldn't be hard at all. Do not waste any time if you haven't seen this classic action film yet. It is a must see for sure.8/10
