Passenger 57
Airline security specialist John Cutter, finally returning to the job after his wife's death, finds himself stuck on a flight being hijacked by notorious terrorist Charles Rane. Unfortunately for the terrorists, they're also stuck with him.
Critics Sentiment
Cutter kicks Rane out of plane during explosive decompression
Cutter chases Rane and accomplices through local fairground
The film drops significantly when it abandons the airplane setting for a pointless fairground chase, then recovers when returning to the plane for the finale.
Passenger 57 starts promisingly with effective hijacking sequences that showcase Snipes' action skills, but stumbles badly in the middle act when it leaves the airplane setting. The film recovers somewhat for a satisfying if rushed finale, with reviewers consistently praising Snipes' charisma while criticizing the derivative plot and missed opportunities.
