Sssssssssssss...
Snakes On A Plane is of course a stupid, cheap, trashy concept and even with Samuel L Jackson, the coolest guy on the planet, signed to star it looked like it was going to suck. It could quite easily have turned out to be really bad. Fact is though that it's a better movie than everyone expected.
Yes I'm pleased to say that Snakes On A Plane rocks!!! Well 80% of it does. Sam Jackson plays an FBI agent charged with transporting a murder witness from Hawaii to attend a trial in LA. The nasty perpetrator, gangleader Mr Kim, is determined to kill the witness before he gets a chance to testify. So what does Mr Kim do? He fills the plane's cargo hold with hundreds of venomous snakes! Pheromones that make the snakes extremely aggressive are circulated though the air conditioning and then the snakes are set free... What follows is an hour of hilariously exciting fanged mayhem as the snakes bite the passengers in all ways imaginable. Will they get the baby? Will they get the annoying little yappy dog? Will Sam save the day? Is there anyone alive who can fly a plane?
SOAP won't win any stuffy awards but it is a damn good disaster flick. A real thrill ride, fun popcorn entertainment. See it with a crowd or even better... as an in-flight movie!
