Okay, I want to get my review in real quick...
Snakes on a Plane **1/2 (out of four)
The best that can be said for this movie is it knows what it has set out to do and it certainly hit that mark...There are snakes...on a plane...that's it...
The movie is bad, there is no getting around that...things like plausibility don't get thrown out the window...That window is smashed at 30,000 feet and all believability is sucked out harshly...so the question is, Is it enjoyable...
For the most part, yes. Sam Jackson is certainly at his most over the top best here in a long time...He's having fun with this movie, you can see it in his eyes...Usually when big actors play in these B movies, there tends to be something dead in their eyes...They know it's just a paycheck...Not Sam...He's loving every minute of this cheesiness and at times, it does become quite infectious...
The rest of the cast is passable...mainly stereotypes...though the OCD rapper and video game addicted bodyguard do end up being pretty funny characters...
Basically if you are looking for brilliance or social relevance, check out World Trade Center or something of that nature...However, if you want to see a movie that was made for a large audience to hoot and holler, then check out Snakes on a Plane...
Like I said, it's not good, but were you expecting it to be?
