Die Hard provided such a perfectly structured action-movie template that Hollywood has been reluctant to leave the idea alone; cue this silly but hugely enjoyable airborne thriller. Wesley Snipes plays the security expert who finds himself on the same aeroplane as obligatory British master criminal Bruce Payne, temporarily in police custody. Of course, Payne's henchmen have hitched a lift as well and when they duly free him, it's up to Snipes to save the day. Despite the hand-me-down plot and dialogue, director Kevin Hooks manages to wring the requisite suspense out of some expertly staged action set pieces. He is helped enormously by charismatic turns from Snipes and Payne, and a solid supporting cast that includes Tom Sizemore, Bruce Greenwood and a then little-known Elizabeth Hurley.

"...Like taking a ride on a sleekly designed roller coaster....[Snipes] strolls through the role with a glint in his eye..."

Passenger 57 - Brill!
John Cutter (Snipe at his best) is a security expert, He is on a fight going for a meeting when on the same plane is Charles Rane (Bruce Payne) , a disturbed terrorist, who was caught by the FBI . The plane is taken over by Rane’s people however Cutter puts “a spanner in the works”. Fantastic Action, Thriller with lots of violence. Elizabeth Hurley isn’t a bad actress either. Well worth watching, I watched it lots of times.

Solid Action Film
This film acts as one of the last great action films of the 80s and early 90s where men could shoot one another and have little reason to do so.
This film does not stand out particulary, being a generic action film, but it does contain one of my all time favorite movie lines :
Wesley Snipes to the bad guy :
'When playing Roulette. Always bet black!'
If you like that kind of cheese you will like this. -
