Plots(1)
A young man named Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips) witnesses vicious and powerful mobster Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) brutally murder a prosecutor bent on putting the crime mogul behind bars. Soon Kim's men raid Jones' house and attempt to kill him, but are stopped by Nelville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson), an experienced FBI agent who convinces Jones to fly to LA to testify against Kim. Aboard the flight are an obnoxious British Businessman, a famous Hip Hop star, an anxious man with severe flight anxiety and his wife, a young woman and her dog, and a ticking crate full of vicious and venomous snakes unleashed by an assassin to bring down the plane along with the witness to Kim's brutal murder. Can the passengers come together to survive or will Kim's plot succeed? (Entertainment in Video)

I read a lot of things about this film (all the hype surrounding it, etc.) only after watching it, which is good because, since all I was aware of was its average rating, the only thing I could expect was ordinary silly fun. That is exactly what I got, therefore I’m satisfied, but I can imagine going to the cinema for the “B-movie event of the year” only to get something where you can’t tell whether it’s stupid intentionally or unintentionally, in which case I think it would certainly not get three stars.

From beginning to end, a hopeless and exhausted borefest starring Samuel L. Jackson instead of Eric Roberts. By the end I was really suffering, and I like B-movie stuff a lot. If it wasn't for the stupid advertising campaign that wanted to turn this crap into a cult-movie, I'd probably be more moderate, but I won’t

Maybe more like 3 and a half. Filling a plane full of snakes is a seriously deranged idea. From the moment when the snakes start crawling out of their... um, holes, we witness the most repulsive possible snake attacks on people (compared to other places, the bite in the eye doesn’t seem that bad). And we are treated to some cute PlayStation, RedBull and surfboard product placement. An entertaining B-movie with the superb Samuel L. Jackson and a bunch of pissed snakes in the leading roles.

Riding the massive wave of various genre clichés with icy calm is a hell of a dose of detachment, which director David R. Ellis really doesn't spare. Even though the fan hype was quite a bit stronger than what the film actually turned out to be, with a cynical dose of audience perversion, one can do nothing but revel for 105 minutes in what wonders can be cooked up from the "B-movie" genre. Definitely the best ultra motherfucking cool movie of the year!

Huh? I wish it was at least stupid to the point that it’s fun, but it doesn't even have a decent dose of idiocy. It's just a stupid accumulation of clichés, moreover in a tragically boring sequence. I would perhaps only describe the solid Samuel L. Jackson as good - otherwise, I was not interested by any of it. Stupid and empty boredom without a hint of fun.
