Passenger 57 1992

Predictable, but very fun action flick for a saturday evening. Score: 6/10.

Way better than its rating would suggest IMO. I recommend this film.

"Well, let me give you a word of advice. Always bet on black!"

I am not saying that this is even close to being Die Hard, but it does have similar elements. If you are looking for a fun 90's action film with some fun Snipes action, look no further.

• Cliché catchphrases
• Predictable, No engagement
• The protagonist has no aura
• Throwing away jokes repeatedly in a life or death situation
• forcing a romantic relationship without giving it any tiny sort of depth
• At one point a woman being knocked down looks like she's having an orgasm
• It's a good movie to laugh at.
• 4/10 poor.

From the movies I've watched, I can't say "Passenger 57" was the one establishing standards for the genre, but movies with a similar plot like "Non-Stop" with Liam Neeson or even "Red Eye" with Rachel McAdams and my favourite (on-screen) psychopath Cillian Murphy, are much better developed than this one. Is it bad? Absolutely! But while it might have been great in 1992, it's not very exciting for a nowadays' audience.
