And as for moments of comedy, from yokel local cops to Tom Sizemore as the scared of flying Sly Delvecchio just feels cheesy.
Nope some of the casting is less than impressive and no matter how attractive Elizabeth Hurley is she is no action chick. There are some things which are genuinely bad and I don't mean that if you were to focus on the storyline you would find as many holes as plot. Even the action which Snipes delivers with real gusto is nothing new and whilst martial arts infused fist fights look impressive it is little more than Snipes kicking butt usually followed by some comical quip.
Heck Rane is even a terrorist making it even more "Die Hard" like and with his range of gun totting henchmen there is little originality to either the characters or the story.
#Passenger 57 cast movie
As already mentioned this is a movie made in the image of "Die Hard" and so whilst we have the unoriginal element of Cutter being haunted by the death of a loved one what everything comes down to is being in the wrong place at the right time to tackle Charles Rane. And with Bruce Payne you get a very icy bad guy, an evil Brit whose menacing tone and the hard stare makes him a little unsettling.īut that is really the only thing you can praise "Passenger 57" for, two bits of casting because everything else is very ordinary. In fact it's not just the fights as Snipes sells every moment of action brilliantly be it punching someone's lights out or jumping on to the lifting gear of a plane.
#Passenger 57 cast how to
Whilst Snipes may have a thoroughly unoriginal character to deliver and some even worse dialogue which at times seems to be poking fun at James Bond he certainly knows how to deliver a fight. And the good is two pieces of casting that of Wesley Snipes as John Cutter and Bruce Payne as Charles Rane. So let me get what is good about "Passenger 57" done with first because there is something good to this run of the mill action movie. But Rane and several of his men, who are travelling aboard the plane, over throw the FBI and take control of the plane leaving Cutter to try and stop him from not only blowing the plane up but escaping yet again. There is a tiny bit more to it than that but not much and in many ways "Passenger 57" is basically " Die Hard" on a plane, good guy in the wrong place at the right time to save the day.įormer cop turned security expert John Cutter ( Wesley Snipes - New Jack City) finds himself on a plane with terrorist Charles Rane ( Bruce Payne - Oxford Blues) who having been arrested by the FBI is being escorted to L.A. As such with "Passenger 57" we get various stock situations the former cop haunted by the death of a loved one, a terrorist who takes over a plane and it just so happens that are former cop is on the plane to tackle the terrorist. "Passenger 57" is what I refer to as a ready meal movie they come in different varieties but at the end of the day they less than memorably fill a gap.
