PlaneMovie Review: A Plain Thriller With a Crash Landing
. He teams with director Jean-François Richet in a film that never entirely takes off from its grounded premise, offering a dull, generic cinematic experience you will not remember an hour after offboarding.
The opening act moves the pieces into place for everything you would expect from a film with this premise. Brodie Torrance is a pilot flying a plane of passengers to Tokyo on New Year’s Eve. One of the passengers is Louis Gaspare , a convicted murderer being extradited to Tokyo. The screenplay establishes a bit of characterization about Brodie’s co-pilot and the passengers on the plane while also revealing Brodie’s wife died years prior, and he is going home to see his daughter.
Furthermore, the film’s pacing hinders its characterization. Much of the movie is set in real-time, meaning that the conflicts are created and solved almost immediately. As a result, the film never utilizes the chemistry between Brodie and Louis. A pilot teaming up with a prisoner is a relationship that could have been filled with tension, but the movie never draws any conflict or friendship between them.
Not only are the heroes uninteresting, but the villains are as well. Unfortunately, this movie does not offer compelling, memorable antagonists with an understandable goal; instead, we have a conveyor belt of evil people doing evil things, and none stand out above the rest. When you have a lifeless set of heroes and villains, the big finale ends up being as exciting as a group of miniature plastic action figures pointing guns at each other.
