Review of Passenger 57 (1992) by Nick M — 11 Jan 2011
Actually used to be one of my favorite Wesley Snipes movies, but going back to watch it again, I could clearly see it isn't a good movie. Maybe a good movie for action movie fans who don't mind to turn their brain off for a hour and a half, but it still isn't good.
The plot is pretty much the same as any other movie like this. I've heard is be called a Die Hard rip-off and I can see that. The only difference is that Die Hard was great and this is forgettable.
The story just didn't interest me and the movie felt kind of rushed. I felt the story wasn't moved along like it could have been. At least with Die Hard, you're introduced to the characters and can actually feel for them.
With Passenger 57, it was pretty much, here's the character and move on. The action scenes weren't any better as I felt most of it was to show off some martial arts that Snipes knows and it felt out of place.
The gunfights were also very bland. Lastly, I thought the acting was ok. Wesley Snipes played an ok hero in John Cutter. Bruce Payne, on the other hand, actually played a decent villain in Charles Rane.
