Snakes on a Plane (DVD) ... Lawson ... / DVD released 26 December, 2006 at Entertainment In Video / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL / Snakes on a Plane knows exactly what kind of movie it is, knows exactly what moviegoers expect from a title like Snakes on a Plane, and delivers the exact pleasures of a movie in which poisonous snakes are unleashed on a plane to kill an eyewitness to murder. Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, The Long Kiss Goodnight) knows exactly what he's doing in this movie and knows exactly when to pull out the superbad Samuel L. Jackson stare and deliver the infuriated Samuel L. Jackson bellow. The rest of the cast--including Julianna Margulies (ER), Rachel Blanchard (the TV series Clueless), Kenan Thompson (Fat Albert), David Koechner (Anchorman), Bobby Canavale (The Station Agent), and Sunny Mabrey (One Last Thing...)--play their parts with admirably straight faces and deadpan humor. Director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2, Cellular) gives the movie the much-needed headlong momentum you would expect from a former stunt coordinator. In summation: A perfect piece of self-aware but not self-conscious high camp entertainment, blending comedy and thrills in perfect proportion. --Bret Fetzer

Newest Review: ... amuses and entertains throughout. More obviously "Snakes on a Plane" is a homage to every B-movie horror ever made. ... more

 ... Although, certainly nothing new is to be found here, this is a film that is more than the sum of it's parts. Of course, the plot is ridiculous and threadbare at best. However, this is simply a device to set up the carnage when the snakes of the title are released on the plane in question. It is a stroke of genius that this film does not really bother with characterising the multitude of actors/snake fodder. Instead we are given us a large amount of unlikeable stereotypes from the arrogant Brit to vain ch...more

As a film fan you have to be wary of any movies that the News of the World give five stars to on the dust-cover, that the only compliment of note to be associated with this notorious B-Movie horror flick. It was reported that the star, Mr. Samuel L Jackson, tried to wriggle out of the project early on, once he realized the back-story to its creation, the coolest dude on the planet screaming the line mid movie: "I've had enough of these motherf**ng snakes on this motherf**ing plane", a fitting epitaph for this films place in movie history. So notorious was this project in Hollywood that the line is now in the top 50 A.F.I. (American Film Institute) all-time ...
