Snakes on a Plane
FBI agent Neville Flynn boards a flight from Honolulu, Hawaii to Los Angeles, escorting a key witness to testify against a mob boss at an upcoming trial. An on-board assassin releases a crate full of hundreds of deadly venomous snakes in an attempt to eliminate the witness. Flynn and a host of frightened passengers and crew must band together to survive the slithery threat.
Critics Sentiment
Flynn delivers his iconic expletive-filled line about the snakes
Passengers settle in as flight attendants serve and Kim's plan unfolds
The film jumps from its slowest, most boring setup phase to genuine entertainment once the first bathroom snake attacks begin, gaining over 1.5 points as audiences finally got what they came for.
Snakes on a Plane delivers exactly what its title promises but struggles with pacing and execution. The film starts slowly with generic setup before finding its groove once the snakes are unleashed, peaking with Samuel L. Jackson's iconic line delivery. While audiences enjoyed the spectacle and camp value in packed theaters, critics found it competently made but ultimately mediocre, neither bad enough to be hilarious nor good enough to be genuinely thrilling.
