snakes on a planePredictable.

We know Samuel L. Jackson’s character is going to carry a big gun. We know he’ll probably shoot something. We also know that he’ll probably fly the plane.

This film is predictable.

And that’s why I don’t understand how it is getting high ratings from movie critics.

The premise goes something like this:

  1. Cute kid witnesses a murder
  2. Bad guys chase cute kid
  3. Cute kid not so smart but hooks up with a badass authority figure.
  4. Authority figure has to save the day (while losing 50 or so passengers in the meantime) and turns the air back on in the plane, helps fly the plane, and shoots a hole in the cabin of the plane (first class, no less!).

Honestly, the best part of this movie was when the audience started cheering because Mr. Jackson finally used the “motherf-ing” term not once, but twice.

That made the movie fun.

Want mindless action that will make you remember why you hate snakes? Snakes on a Plane is the movie for you.
