Plane (2023)

Keep your seatbelt fastened in your seats in an upright position

[8/10 · 9 April 2023]

The title of the movie did not grab me at first, just simply "plane" did not say anything, the execs wanted a longer title, but Girard insisted on keeping the title as short as possible. This movie is a throwback to the same genre popular in the 90s. Very smooth and satisfying ride.(pun intended) Gérard Butler did not disappoint and provided an excellent performance. Mike Colter was equally entertaining with a mysterious, and broody performance, Mike plays the part of Louis Gaspare, a handcuffed fugitive wanted for a murder that happened 15 years ago. His characters military training came in handy, but I have to wonder what happened to him towards the end of the movie as he disappeared into the jungle with the bag full of cash that was intended for the mercenary rescue team. The runtime was good and the movie ended before I was ready for the end. If you are into action movies with a minimal non-twisted storyline, then this might be the movie for you. I took off a couple of stars for some continuity and factual issues that I have grown to look for in previous movies as an amateur armchair critic. Overall, I would say this movie was enjoyable, so bring the popcorn.
