Review of Snakes on a Plane (2006) by Eric C — 24 Dec 2011

3.5/5.

I knew going into Snakes on a Plane that the film was a really cheesy idea and really stupid idea but I had to pick it up just for fun. The film is what we call a time waster film. For the most part, the film is dry and throws a lot of bad jokes at the screen but good action scenes and Samuel L. Jackson save this thing from any thing terrible.

The film is about a FBI Agent (Jackson) who is on a plane to Los Angeles with a suspect who going testify for a murder in Los Angeles. Once the plane starts, killer snakes come out and starts chaos. It is now a mystery to fiqure who put the snakes on the plane and how they will be stopped.

Samuel L. Jackson and Julianna Margulies are really the stars of this film. They really do a good job and they both help move the film.

The snakes also really do help the film. The film picks up do to them and some great kill scenes are in this due to them. Lin Shaye in this and she does a really good job and she is a really nice character.

One of main flaws of this films is the jokes. Most of them are useless and not funny at all. Many useless characters are also in this and really do not help this film.

Another flaw in this airlines in this thing. Some of the characters have dogs, drugs and alcohol on the plane. If that really happened, you would be arrested. The ending to thing is pretty ridiculous and really laughable.

Snakes on a Plane is cheesy, time waster film but some great action scenes and great actors push this film somewhat in the right direction.
