An FBI agent takes on a plane full of deadly and venomous snakes, deliberately released to kill a witness being flown from Honolulu to Los Angeles to testify against a mob boss.
While practicing motocross in Hawaii, Sean Jones witnesses the brutal murder of an important American prosecutor by the powerful mobster Eddie Kim. He is protected and persuaded by the FBI agent Neville Flynn to testify against Eddie in Los Angeles. They embark in the red-eye Flight 121 of Pacific Air, occupying the entire first-class. However, Eddie dispatches hundred of different species of snakes airborne with a time operated device in the luggage to release the snakes in the flight with the intent of crashing the plane. Neville and the passengers have to struggle with the snakes to survive.
Although engulfed in a huge wave of hype when first coming out and starring the now cult figure of Samuel L. Jackson in the lead &#39;hero&#39; role, &#39;Snakes on a Plane&#39; did nothing for me in terms of suspense, frights or jaw dropping action and personally, was a bit of a disappointment.<br/><br/>It would be too easy to label the film as one you&#39;d &#39;love to hate&#39; but I certainly can&#39;t see why so many people do love it. This film is pretty much &#39;Eight Legged Freaks&#39; (2002) meets a Steven Seagal film of some sort; probably more akin to &#39;Under Siege 2: Dark Territory&#39; (1995) than any other. Neither of these two films got such an enormous wave of praise yet both are very similar in terms of brainlessness and both are guilty of having action serving as a substitute for much of a plot. Oddly enough, both films are probably better than Snakes on a Plane.<br/><br/>What&#39;s bad about Snakes on a Plane and what puts it close to B movie material is its acting and all round colloquial approach to itself. The acting is pretty bad all throughout, the characters and their supposed back stories are introduced in a messy manner and the representation of both English people as typically posh people who have to take business class over all the other standard class scum and that of black people who are womanising, full of money and ego but not much sense was truly ridiculous. What was also rather surprising was its representation of the pilots. Pilots and captains of aeroplanes are highly decorated and educated people; but in this film – they seem more concerned with the pretty stewardess&#39; removing their shirts rather than the fact they&#39;ve just been bitten by a snake. This was as bad as it was unbelievable and completely zoned me out of the film; something that shouldn&#39;t happen – I should be made to feel I&#39;m there: scare me, entertain me – do something. But no, not in Snakes on a Plane and this piece of representation made me laugh for the opposite reasons the makers wanted me to laugh for.<br/><br/>When the snakes finally get to cause some grief, the film goes another gear down. The snakes look too fake and although pose a threat (merely due to the fact they&#39;re snakes and they&#39;re loose on a plane) they aren&#39;t particularly frightening as their intelligence and unrealistically aggressive manner extinguish everything they should be. The snakes act as the whole excuse for the film in the first place so most scenes are going to revolve around them in some way. Unfortunately these ways are done badly. The film slips into a stupor of &#39;whenever there&#39;s a break in proceedings, let&#39;s have another snake attack to wake the audience up!&#39; Even when a scene involving the lead role going into the bowels of the plane to turn back on the electronics occurs; you don&#39;t feel anything as you know he&#39;s going to succeed in his mission and it just acts as a sorry excuse to include an action scene (which was subsequently rubbish).<br/><br/>Towards the end, the film becomes a bit of a farce with tiny, little things going the passengers way. The fact there&#39;s an axe in the cockpit, the fact the hero had a knife in his belt the whole time (which he refused to use until this point) which is impossible for commercial flights these days given the world&#39;s security situation (It doesn&#39;t matter if you&#39;re in the FBI) and the fact the plane is eventually landed without too much build up and without too much trouble all serve as good examples.<br/><br/>Maybe its because I saw it on a smaller screen than in the cinema but I feel I still would&#39;ve picked up on these things and these things alone make Snakes on a Plane a BAD film; contrary to what the masses actually think. Just because it&#39;s Samuel L. Jackson and just because it&#39;s snakes – on an aeroplane; doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s a good, great or even a cult film.
I evaded much of the hype, but dutifully went to see the movie. Throwing in my two cents is a little superfluous now, since everyone will already have their own ideas about the movie (and many have invested way too much in it to succumb to reality at this late stage) but the movie was no great shakes. Everything previous to the arrival of the motherf*cking was motherfu*king boring - and whilst we expect characters in a film such as this to be one-dimensional, do we really need to spend so much time in their company, listening to jaw-droppingly mundane dialogue not too far divorced from TV soap opera chat? Once the snakes arrive things thankfully heat up a little, and the first massacre scene was gratifyingly OTT. However, the snakes are really pretty boring and unconvincing (I&#39;ve seen better CGI in a video game). They&#39;re never as menacing as the REAL snake they used in &#39;Venom&#39;… I firmly think animatronics and real snakes should have been used like they did back in the day.<br/><br/>One can&#39;t help but feel Sam Jackson was cool but not exactly riveting or as entertaining as we might have hoped. He retains all the magnetism and charisma we expect of him, but the script never allows him to cut loose enough, and while he&#39;s right to play the role straight, he ends up just being quite unremarkable.<br/><br/>There are a few chuckles to be had and it&#39;s not a bad way to spend an evening (but a terrible way to spend months reading blogs and designing posters). The main thing I object to is that modern teen audiences seem to be reacting as though they&#39;ve never heard of &#39;exploitation&#39; films before. I hope anyone who enjoyed the &#39;Snakes on a Plane&#39; experience will check out some of the older (better) exploitation flicks, from kung fu, to blaxploitation, to monster movies to horror. Endless pleasures await you. Start with &#39;Goke Bodysnatcher From Hell&#39;.
Looming large over all this is Jackson, who glowers and growls and acts the hero better than any actor out there.
While escorting surfer dude Sean Jones (<a href="/name/nm0680667/">Nathan Phillips</a>), witness of a murder committed by notorious gangster Eddie Kim (<a href="/name/nm0493171/">Byron Lawson</a>), on the South Pacific Airlines red-eye flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles, FBI agent Neville Flynn (<a href="/name/nm0000168/">Samuel L. Jackson</a>) is forced to fight off a cargo load of venomous snakes unleashed on the Boeing 747 by Kim and his thugs in order to bring down the plane and prevent Jones from testifying. Snakes on a Plane is based on a screenplay contributed to by writers David J. Taylor, John Heffernan, Sebastian Gutierrez and David Dalessandro. The copilot accidentally releases the oxygen masks in the passenger compartment, and the snakes drop into the cabin with them. Later, Agent Flynn discovers, while crawling into the cargo hold, that a door that separated the compartment from the rest of the plane had been left open. The snakes in the cargo hold have tripped the breaker that controls the air conditioning in the passenger cabin, so Agent Flynn ventures into the hold to rectify the problem (and kill a few more snakes along the way). Meanwhile in L.A., Agent Harris (<a href="/name/nm0134072/">Bobby Cannavale</a>) and Dr Stephen Price (<a href="/name/nm0521974/">Todd Louiso</a>), an expert in venomous snakes, have determined from the photos of the dead snakes that many of them are from foreign countries and, thus, have been illegally imported. They pay a visit to a local snake dealer who has been known for shady dealing in the past. In attempting to flee, the dealer is bitten by a desert black snake, and the agents withhold the antivenom until he tells them how he got the snakes for Eddie Kim and made them super aggressive by spraying pheromones on the passengers&#39; leis. They then take his anti-venom supplies to LAX so that it will be available when the plane lands. Just when it looks hopeful that things are going to work out, it is discovered that the cockpit is filled with snakes and that the co-pilot is dead. There is no one to land the plane, so flight attendant Claire (<a href="/name/nm0000523/">Julianna Margulies</a>) asks the passengers if anyone can fly the plane. The only one with any flight experience, over 2,000 hours on his PlayStation 2 flight simulator, is Troy (<a href="/name/nm0860380/">Kenan Thompson</a>), an old friend and bodyguard to rapper Three Gs (<a href="/name/nm0018416/">Flex Alexander</a>). In order to clear the cockpit of snakes, Flynn instructs the passengers to secure themselves in their seats. He then shoots a hole in one of the cabin windows, causing the cabin to depressurize and sucking out all the snakes. When the snakes have been cleared from the cockpit, Troy takes over the controls and successfully lands the plane at LAX where anti-venom is immediately given to those who have been bitten. However, just as Sean and Flynn are about to deplane, Sean is bitten in the chest by a snake. Flynn shoots the snake, and Sean opens his shirt to reveal a bulletproof vest. Sean reminds Flynn of the first thing Flynn told him: &quot;Do as I say, and you live,&quot; and turns the tables. In the final scene, Sean is instructing Flynn on how to surf. According to Wikipedia, such a hole would merely generate a high-pitched squeal. However, if they somehow managed to make a much larger hole, the plane could be depressurized in less than a second. He apparently did. Jackson signed on simply for the title, &quot;Snakes on a Plane&quot; and, when New Line said they might change it, Jackson supposedly threatened to leave the film. He had stated that he loved the title because &quot;it tells you exactly what the movie is about. So you know what you&#39;re going to see.&quot; 68% of critics liked the film according to RottenTomatoes, with an average score of 6.2 out of 10, meaning it has generally favorable reviews. Most people expected that the critics would hate the film, but, in the end, it received more positive reviews than bad ones. Yes. There was immense Internet hype over the film mainly because of its title and lots of users rated it a &quot;10&quot; without even seeing it. The film&#39;s user rating was originally 8.4, before dropping after more people had seen it.
