Snakes On A Plane - Dir: David L Ellis


The internet hype of this movie was so massive before it came out that they went back for reshoots for a week to make it even better. They shouldn't have really bothered. It's very easy to see quickly why this movie didn't explode at the box office the way it was expected. The direction is immediately very poor reminiscent of some ultra low budget action movie with z-rate actors. The only thing that really drags this through to the climax is Samuel L Jackson. The snake SFX are a mixture of good to very bad and the action was all a bit messy. That said, you certainly get what you see on the tin and if you are after a couple of hours of extremely light distraction then it's okayish. This is a JM SUCK IT AND SEE.
