    Not bad for a rental. Predictable.

    We fall into a trap of predictability with this one. Even if you haven't seen "Passenger 57" you just KNOW as soon as you see the prisoners being loaded on a 747 that they are going to break loose and raise all sorts of havoc. And you just KNOW the guy who caught the bad guy in the first place is going to be involved in catching him again.

    And you just KNOW some pretty female passenger is going to be involved. This time its Brittany Daniel, who I last saw as a temporary love-interest in Dawson's Creek. More than just a pretty face, we should see more of her.

    All said, I thought the movie was pretty well done. It kept up a good pace and the bad guy carries the movie the way he is supposed to. The hero is boring and looks and sounds alltogether too much like a Bruce Willis knockoff.

    Better Than Turbulence and Passenger 57

    This Movie was excellent great story great actors and great ending

    Ive seen Turbulence and Passenger 57 and none of them compare to this movie Agent Nick Halton (James Russo) a former navy seal Has been tracking the Phychotic Killer Jeremy Barrett (Michael Harris) for 3 years he finnally catches him and Barrett is then transported and handed over to the FBI But when Barrett gets on the plane he Hijacks it and is threatning to crash the plane into a populated area its up to Nick to finish Jeremy barrett once and for all Ice T did a good job with his role even though it was not even a 45 minute roll Brittany Daniel also did a good job with her roll this movie also has some comedy in it that really made me laugh especially Michael Harris's character this is definetly a movie to see

    How you'll laugh!

    Under no circumstances take this movie seriously! Expect to laugh - a lot. If you hold onto this frame of mind (tightly), this movie is actually pretty cool.

    It's the oldie but goodie plotline - bad guy transported on commercial airliner gets free of inept captors and takes entire plane hostage.

    My, my, my. How I giggled! Everything from Michael Harris' sarcasm; James Russo's scarily eerie ability to seemingly go for long stretches of time without blinking; the hole in the cockpit; every stray bullet's attraction to the cockpit.... was it intentionally amusing? I think not. Is Ice-T's acting shocking? It is. Is the movie worth watching? Oh yes. :::snigger:::

    More holes in the plot than in the cockpit

    A tired formula film involving a psychotic, sadistic federal prisoner who seizes control of an airliner and the agent who must try and stop him. Weak acting and gaping plot holes destroy whatever tension the director must have been trying for. A real groaner. Give this one a wide berth.

    a weak entry in the genre

    all things considered this movie is pretty unremarkable.it has too many slow spots with nothing happening.then when there is some action,the scenes are way too long and protracted.it's your typical "nut job takes control of an airplane and the good guys try to regain control" movie.i also found it even less realistic than most movies of the genre.the dialogue was pretty lame too.the characters are your run of the mill characters for these types of movies.the acting wasn't great,either,though i did like Ice-T,who plays a federal agent in the movie.the runtime is about 94 minutes with end credits,but it sure felt a lot longer.the bottom line for me,this movie added nothing new to the genre and was certainly not as good as any of the other movies of the genre.if i were you,i would check out "Turbulence" Passenger 57",Executive "Decision" and "Con Air",which are all better examples of the genre.for me,Sonic Impact is a 4/10
