It's Die Hard on a plane in this action thriller, starring Wesley Snipes as an antiterrorist specialist whose early retirement is interrupted when his flight is overtaken by a bloodthirsty villain (Bruce Payne). Watching this at home is pretty much an excuse to order pizza and kick back, as the familiar rhythms of maverick-cop-versus-international-criminal take over and nothing new or fresh in the formula emerges. The supporting cast includes Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) as a gun-wielding, junior terrorist, which is fun simply for being unexpected. --Tom Keogh

 Passenger 57 January 4, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
An airline security chief must free American hijack victims from the hands of terrorists. A solid action movie that soars high. Very entertaining.
 Okay but a little too much drama September 7, 2009
Denise L. Deffner (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
Decent movie; but some of the characters are a little much. Otherwise, I'd watch it again.
 Failed effort April 19, 2009

It tries to be "Die Hard" on a plane, and fails.
But I'm particularly appalled by a line of dialogue: "Always bet on black". This is a disgracefully racist line. Did you laugh or cheer at the line? Then you're stupid. Just imagine this scenario: Bruce Willis is battling a group of African terrorists. And he tells the leader, "Always bet on white." Would you laugh or cheer? Only if you're a white supremacist.
(Not to mention that the line, in context, was moronic. The opposite of black in roulette is red, not white. So Snipes' line was ignorant to start with).

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER July 6, 2008
Gary L. Dibert (Pittsburgh, Pa)
This picture was in released in theaters on November 10 1992 starring Wesley snipes as John Cutter, Bruce Payne as Charles Rane, and Elizabeth Hurley as Sabrina Ritchie. John Cutter is grieving over the death of his wife after she was killed by an armed robber and John is blaming himself for her death. So John who's an anti terrorism expert decides it's time to retire from this dangerous job. However, a friend who works for an airline offers John a job as his chief of security. So John is being flown to Los Angeles for the companies annual meeting where he will be introduce as the Chief of security. However, John encounters one big problem as the FBI is transporting Charles Rane one of the most sadistic and deranged terrorist of all time to Los Angeles on the same plane. Now John has to stay on the alert because anything can happen when a dangerous criminal is on an airplane. Now a few thoughts on this movie! Again this is one of the few movies that captures you attention at the beginning and it never stops until it's over. John Wesley Snipes does a good job as his role as John Cutter. Based on the action, adventure and drama that are in this picture I give this movie 8 weasel stars.
