Summary: Great movie, lots of action!
Review: I just wanted to say that I love watching this DVD. It is a great action movie. Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne deliver outstanding perfomances. I love the fight sequences. If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend you do. It's well worth the money!

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I know this movie came out in '92, but I just saw it last year. No, the story wasn't perfect, but you WILL love the performances. Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne were perfect for their roles. Especially Bruce Payne. They couldn't have picked a better villian and he's sorta funny too. (No Marti, I'm going to kill you during!) I think the video is worth having just for his performance. And this movie secured me as a fan of both Payne and Snipes. (too bad it won't be a part 2) Certain parts of the story could have used some work, plus a little more action, but trust me and try this video. Then say with me Charles Rane is not insane! :oP

Summary: Every minute is action filled!
Review: If you thought the terrorists on Air Force One (starring Harrison Ford) were nasty, check out Mr. Charles Rane as he boards an aircraft intent on murder and mayhem as much as "necessary". This movie vividly portrays action hero Wesley Snipes as the good guy, but it won't be so easy for Wesley (playing as John Cutter) to be the good guy this time. Charles Rane a.k.a. "The Rane of Terror" will freeze your heart, and everyone else's on board too. There's not a moment in this movie when your eyes are not glued to the screen, and, unlike other terror filled dramas, you can root for the good guys all you want, but the outcome on this one is not predictable. Mr. Rane cares for no one, and so cares not whom he murders, maims, or tortures. I've yet to see a hardened criminal played so excellently on any movie. Mr. Rane (Bruce Payne) has already been the brilliant mastermind behind four other terrorist attacks, and this one promises to have you holding your breath.

Summary: Passenger 57: Success!
Review: In my opinion, this film is a 99.9% success. The favourite has to be the icy-cool role of Bruce Payne (Charles Rane; infamous international terrorist) who fits into the character perfectly using dialogue and facial features. Wesley Snipes' part sunk a little in this movie, yet judging by several of his other films, he took a break for this one in particular! Some of the scenes were predictable, yet 8/10 films are, the plot is of an ex-secret-service agent, John Cutter (Snipes) who quits his job after his wife Lisa is killed in a robbery incident which he tries to prevent, as he is offered back a higher standard job than that of which he is in now, training flight attendents and night watchmen, he takes a flight to Los Angeles on the 163 Airline International plane, which, purely by coincidence, Charles Rane (Bruce Payne) is travelling on. The FBI failed to tell the airline before Rane boards and so when his trusty henchmen shoot his guards, he escapes and holds hostage all 200 passengers on board...that is excepting the man in seat 57, who is the only one who can rescue the unfortunate passengers on the flight...if you haven't seen the film I highly reccomend you do, and seeing as i'd hate to ruin the end for you, i'll leave it here! Please e-mail me on [e-mail] for further information on the film, ratings or details. Just one last thing...BRUCE PAYNE IS GORGEOUS!

Summary: simple but entertaining
Review: La película no muestra un argumento demasiado original, pero rebosa acción y con esto cumple su objetivo. Tenemos delante nuestro un producto que lo podemos decretar como "Fast-cine", con un protagonista astuto, sobervio e instruido en kcikcboxer, quien se las tendrá que ver contra un peligroso terrorista que ha secuestrado un descomunal boeing 747, y con este coctel empieza la lucha.Todo el mundo sabe que el malo morirá y el bueno se quedará con la chica. ¿Alguna vez ha sucedido lo contrario en el cine de aventuras?Muchas obras maestras parten de tramas similares.Para ver esta simple película no es necesario que seas un tarugo; pero debo añadir que básicamente contiene:patadas,cabriolas,explosiones,tiros y algún que otro chiste(carece de sexo).Con esto ya la tenemos lista. La recomiendo a los amantes al género de acción.

Summary: "Bet on black" - only in roulette!
Review: Mindless action Snipes looks, moves, acts and projects the image of an ex con. Action sequences are not at all convincing. Waste your money on something else.

Summary: PULPY FUN
Review: Most of this explosive joyride is highly implausible even while you are sitting through it (one wonders if the art of Hijacking has come a long way) but it's an enjoyable diversion.

As an action hero Snipes belongs to the school that plays it cool and cracks jokes and kung-fu kicks when the going gets rough, all with a nonchalant glint in the eye, as if he were fully aware that the film is really a live-action cartoon.

Payne as his villainous and unabashedly racist counterpart brings a similar comic-book audacity to the psychopathic fiend.

I was particularly surprised to see a very young version of a face I was certain I recognized, but couldn't put a name to. Elizabeth Hurley! Male chromosomes take note.

To its credit, the film doesn't dilly-dally in going about its pulpy routine, with some very decent action scenes for its time. You know what's going to happen, but it's interesting to see how.

Summary: Check your brain at the video counter before watching 57
Review: Passenger 57 is one of those slick action films that is best enjoyed when the viewer checks his brains at the video counter. Don't mull over how ridiculous it is for the feds to put a terrorist (who blows up planes)aboard a plane for extradition. Don't calculate how Wesley Snipes can defy every law of physics in an effort to "sneak onboard [the plane] without a ticket" as it is literally in flight. Don't think about those and many other hangar-sized logic holes in Passenger 57 and you'll be good to go. Just sit back and enjoy the action (which is first rate) and the view (which is first rate too with the lovely Elizabeth Hurley as one of the terrorists and the equally beautiful Alex Datcher as the heroine). Whatever you do, just don't think!

Summary: Great Action Film on a plane.
Review: Some called it a Die-Hard Wannabe, but i think this is great.
Westly Snipes is a great actor in my opinion, but this is one of his best. It's about a Security Officer who boards on a airplane
and suddenly it gets highjacked by Criminals, it's very entertaining and great stuff.

If you like Executive Descision, Broken Arrow and Con Air, rent this one.
