Plane - Movie Review

Plane Review

Chris Stuckmann reviews Plane, a January action movie about a commercial pilot forced to crash-land in a storm-struck war zone. The pilot, played by Gerard Butler, and a convict being transported on the flight, played by Mike Colter, must work together to protect the passengers from danger on the island.

Stuckmann calls it an entertaining, old-school action film—something like a lower-budget Air Force One crossed with Behind Enemy Lines. He praises Butler’s commitment to the stunts and emotional moments, and says Butler and Colter have strong chemistry. The crash landing and increasingly violent encounters with the men on the island provide the most tense, memorable action. One fight is staged to look like a single take.

The review isn’t entirely glowing: Stuckmann finds the handheld direction uneven and says the scenes following people on the ground lack the urgency of the jungle sequences. Still, he likes that the movie knows what it is and delivers a bloody, escapist thrill. He jokes that January releases are a cinematic wildcard—sometimes terrible, sometimes unexpectedly fun—and thinks Plane falls into the latter category.
