John Cutter (Wesley Snipes) is an anti-terrorist expert who is flying to Los Angeles to begin a new life after his wife was murdered during a supermarket robbery. On the same aeroplane is Charles Rayne (Bruce Payne), a dangerous hijacker being transported to prison. Agents have been placed on the flight to help Rayne escape, but they hadn't banked on Cutter being on the plane. The cast also includes Tom Sizemore, Alex Datcher and Elizabeth Hurley. (Warner Bros.

The running time of this film is the most peculiar. 84 minutes is a truly interesting number and ideally suits the ongoing game of good-guy Wesley Snipes and wannabe tough guy Bruce Payne. The action is surprisingly fast, dynamic, and the fights are well executed. The frequent change of locations prevents any stereotypes, so do not expect the monotony of Die Hard or Under Siege. However, the film doesn’t lack a series of nonsense and logical mistakes, but if you are willing to accept certain pitfalls and consider Passenger 57 a genre film from the 1990s, when the word “reality” was not taken so seriously, you will certainly not be disgusted.
