While on the plane Wesley Snipes reads the book 'The Art of War' Snipes later starred in the film ¨The art of war¨ (2000) that was loosely based on the book. Wesley Snipes is top-notch as an action hero, turning into tough action man in films of big budget, just like ¨Murder at 1600¨, ¨Money train¨, ¨US Marshall¨ and ¨Blade¨ trilogy however, nowadays, he only makes low/medium budget films as ¨Unstoppable¨, ¨The detonator¨, ¨7 seconds¨, ¨Chaos¨, ¨The marksman¨, among others. This film Passenger 57 (1992) was scheduled to air on a Starz Entertainment Group channel the night of 9/11, what with the themes of terrorism on an airplane, the broadcast was obviously cancelled. It's a run-of-the-mill action film in which from the beginning to the ending the thriller and emotion is continuous.

The film packs nonstop action, suspense, tension, lots of violence when the murders and fighting happen, being quite entertaining. Meanwhile, Cutter contacts with his airline chiefs (Tom Sizemore and Bruce Greenwood) who want to hide the events. Cutter must take action confronting the nasty criminal, developing a battle of wits between two charismatic opponents. He hijacks the crew and seizes control of it. Then, he finds himself accidentally trapped into the middle of an airline Jumbo hijacking executed by an arch-villain terrorist (Bruce Payne) who previously committed numerous terrorists acts. He embarks a large plane, L1011-500 "Tristar, assisted by beautiful air hostesses (two gorgeous flight attendants : Alex Datcher and Elizabeth Hurley, one of the earliest film roles). John Cutter (Wesley Snipes) is an expert security agent who's still mourning the death his wife.
PASSENGER 57 MOVIE
Reviewed by ma-cortes 6 / 10 Standard action-packed movie with the usual two-fisted hero acting in a hijacking If however you require a little bit of flair,just a smidgeon of likelihood and some indication that it isn't all a cynical moneymaking exercise.put it back in the "Special Offers" bin and walk away. As cliché builded on cliché I was forced to listen to the soundtrack as some kind of distraction.It sounded as if it was written by a jazz musician who thought it would be easy money to knock off a quick movie score.That couldn't really be the case - could it? If you believe in watching movies with your thumb up your bum and your brain in neutral "Passenger 57" might just pass muster. Mr W.Snipes as the cop is a credit to his dentist. Miss E.Hurley,who can't act for toffee,is one of Rane's little helpers. With the help from some henchpersons he escapes from his escort and goes mano a mano with an ex - cop and airline security expert who,heaven be thanked,is travelling on the same plane. "You have blown up two planes this year already"says his brief in a non - judgemental tone. Well,at least not according to his brief.Mind you,the completely barmy Mr Rane was banging the brief's face on a desk at the time in a subtle attempt to induce such a ringing endorsement.By anyone else's definition Mr Rane is what the medical profession call a nutjob. Reviewed by ianlouisiana 3 / 10 "Charles Rane is not insane". Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter, an undercover security operative who enters the lavatory and exits to find Rane (Bruce Payne) and his gang have taken over. But there's good news too: the man in seat 57. Soon there will be a fifth - and that's bad news for the passengers on Flight 163. "The Rane of Terror" has masterminded four terrorist attacks. But the FAA never figured the risk with Charles Rane on board. To request additional information Ask a Librarian.Air travel is the safest, the FAA says.
