Review of Passenger 57 (1992) by Erik G — 26 Jan 2012

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid your in-flight entertainment has been canceled.".

- Charles Rane.

Air travel is the safest, as the FAA says. But the FAA never figured the risk with Charles Rane, who is on board on a flight to stand for trial of masterminding four terrorist bombings. As "The Rane of Terror" plans a fifth bombing - undercover security operative John Cutter finds that Rane and his gang have taken over. Cutter's next move is clear: do or be done to.

Directed by Kevin Hooks, 'Passenger 57' features great acting performances from the following cast:

1.) Wesley Snipes (John Cutter).

2.) Bruce Payne (Charles Rane).

3.) Tom Sizemore (Sly Delvecchio).

4.) Bruce Greenwood (Ramsey).

5.) Elizabeth Hurley (Sabrina Richie).

I find 'Passenger 57' as a great thriller taking place 35,000 ft. in the air, with explosive action when a flight is hijacked. Mr. Snipes did his excellent acting performance here, working as an anti-terrorist expert while coping the loss of his wife (as in one flashback). And oh my gosh, Charles Rane talks like an darn evil Brit! It's great that there are some aerial flicks that feature bombers, and this film is one of these.
