Plane Movie Reviews | Plane Movie explained
STORY LINE
Brodie Torrance saves his passengers from a lightning strike by making a risky landing on a war-torn island – only to find that surviving the landing was just the beginning. When most of the passengers are taken hostage by dangerous rebels, the only person Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare, an accused murderer who was being transported by the FBI. In order to rescue the passengers, Torrance will need Gaspare’s help, and will learn there’s more to Gaspare than meets the eye.
Stars Gerard Butler and Mike Coulter and is in fact about a plane a pilot finds
himself caught in a war zone after he's
forced to land his commercial aircraft
during a terrible storm he was also
transporting a convict played by Mike
Coulter on that flight and now the two
of them as well as a bunch of passengers are forced to try and survive and before we get into the rest of the review I think I really like January when it comes to movies I do I don't know what it is but it's so unpredictable okay if
you tell me that the summer is going to
have a bunch of really cool big movies
I'm like yeah well I know that's how it
always goes if you tell me that
Christmas is going to have another
influx of big movies and family
entertainment I'm like well yeah I mean
that's what happens you cannot predict
January January is a wild card Megan
proved that the first week of January
horror movie with some comedy involved and it was really good but then you get your random Liam Neeson action films or split even and suddenly January becomes unpredictable and I really like that I can go to a theater in
January and be like this could be the
worst movie I have ever seen in my life
or it could just be a really fun time
but also another thing that Hollywood
has been doing lately is they're kind of
just putting movies in January that are
just about escapism just about going to
the theater and having fun they're not
as well made as movies like top gun
Maverick but they're still about that
and only that and that is exactly the
movie that plane is Gerard Butler is
really good in this movie and I mean
that genuinely I think he's great in
these kinds of movies he's perfect for
them and he really does put a lot of
effort into the stunts and into the
emotion there's one fight scene that's
simulated one take I believe it seemed
like there were some hidden Cuts in
there and he's getting his head pushed
back against a desk and the stunt actor
has his hand all through his mouth and
eyes and it was like you're really out
there Gerard Butler good job man he's
he's damn good in this movie and this
film at its core is essentially Air
Force One meets Behind Enemy Lines far smaller budget than those films I would say definitely far smaller than Air
Force One which I would really like to
make a video about Air Force One I
really think that's an underrated film I
have a lot to say about that movie
actually I didn't think they were able
to crack another structure for Behind
Enemy Lines and they kind of did hear in the idea that you've got a pilot who has slightly violent past with an
altercation with a former passenger who
attacked him and so you see that he's
got some I don't know about rage issues
but he has the ability to take a guy
down on and of course Mike coulter's
character as a convict who's being
transported has a very dark past and you throw these two literally in a jungle as well as a bunch of hostages this is like an instant cell kind of screenplay
scenario no this is not a perfect movie
it is kind of directed a bit haphazardly
there's a lot of shaky things going on
and it doesn't really feel like there's
a vision it does kind of feel like uh
Paul Green Grass style light it's just
uh mostly handheld you know like a
Michael Mann style and it doesn't always work but when it does it really works and there are some very intense
sequences that are surprisingly white
knuckled including the initial Crash
Landing as well as mini sequences
involving the hostages as well as mini
sequences involving the group of men
that they run into on the island and as
soon as you realize what's going on with
those guys it actually gets surprisingly
dark and very violent the movie is very
bloody and there are some moments that actually took me by surprise so this is a lot that I like here it's a 90s style
action movie combined with two action
films I've always sort of enjoyed Behind
Enemy Lines is a very very cheesy movie and Air Force One has its moments too but God do I love that movie and it's also rated R and it's just a violent action movie coming out in January and this is one of those sort of Surprises by no means is this movie going to break any records and it's it's got nothing to say about its politics and it's certainly 100 is not going to wow
anybody but from the audience members in my theater that routinely clapped and shouted whenever something cool happened
I think people will really enjoy the
film if they go to see it and for my
money it's the kind of film I really
like to watch every once in a while a
movie that knows exactly what it is I'm
not going to say the word mindless
because I don't really
I don't really give that word too much
attention anymore I think that even
films that most people might call
Mindless had a lot of thought put into
them and I disagree with that
wholeheartedly I think the structure of
the movie works really well from a
screenplay standpoint there will be
pilots who watch this movie who scoff at
everything and that's fine what works
about the movie is Gerard Butler and
Mike Coulter they have great chemistry
together uh the action scenes are very
violent and I love that and I felt
legitimately tense from the first
thunderstorm that takes the plane down
all the way through you know there were
moments where it kind of had lulls they
cut back to people on the ground trying
to figure things out very much like Air
Force One and Glenn Close as the vice
president and I didn't think those
sequences had the urgency that the
sequences in the jungle did but for a
movie called plane you get exactly what
you paid for I do think this is a really
fun January movie and so far this
January is good and I would like to
continue seeing good January movies guys thank you so much.
