Plane Reviews
But Plane is stifled by just how ordinary it is, and how closely it hews to the standard tropes of action films with longer, more descriptive -- yet less ridiculous -- titles.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2023
Even by Butler’s B-list standards, this is borderline inept.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2023
It may be big, brawling and somewhat inelegant in approach, but this Gerard Butler vehicle is an aviation fuel-powered good time.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 29, 2023
It would be easy to nitpick action-thriller Plane for its plot holes, old-school machismo and paint-roller-broad characterisation of Asian villains. But it’s also an adrenaline-pumping banger, skilfully executed by Jean-François Richet
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2023
Plane plays things resolutely old school, from the electronic score zee-yowing away in the background to the script’s pub quiz sprinklings of pilot jargon, and above all the cartoonish brutality of its violent set-pieces.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2023
Gerard Butler is a treat – the runtime seems to fly by.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 26, 2023
This is just the kind of tosh you want it to be. Brisk, easy, brutish. It has explosions, punch-ups, shoot-outs and more than one bit where someone gets smacked in the face with a big hammer. How much more could you reasonably ask? It’s a blast.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 24, 2023
What starts in a comfortable disaster-movie mould quickly handbrake-turns into a generic, by-the-numbers action thriller, serving up a stale platter of fist fights, gun battles and hostage-taking.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 23, 2023
The gloriously named Plane is yet another action movie that showcases the actor’s talents, and proof that they just don’t make ’em like this anymore.

Reminded me of a picture of a beautifully-drawn horse that turned into a stick figure by the end.

I really enjoyed this in a sort of old school, guilty pleasure kind of way.

Plane achieves liftoff, and for old-school action fanatics, even if it doesn’t stick the landing, watching it skid wildly off the runway into a ditch with such raucous aplomb is as ridiculous as it is wonderful.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 17, 2023
If you buy a ticket for this one, just know there’s no First Class option. But with moderate expectations, you’ll still get to your destination.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 14, 2023
A more accurate title would... be Island, but Plane is perhaps best at least for instructing audience on the best location to watch the film, half-awake, tipsy on wine served from a litre bottle.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 13, 2023
The highest compliment I can pay the new Gerard Butler action film is that it lives up to the conceptual purity of its title.
| Jan 13, 2023
The biggest problem with Plane throughout is that it isn't wilder; it does not revel appropriately enough in its open dumbness.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 13, 2023
Sections of the movie recall Die Hard 2 in the best way possible, as Plane delivers thrills and excitement that belie its generic title.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 13, 2023
Plane is, in essence, the Frontier Airlines of action films: It’s cut-rate to a fault, makes you endure a lot of unpleasantness on the way to its final destination, and still leaves you with the distinct feeling that you didn’t even get what you paid for.
| Jan 12, 2023
The overall exercise feels more efficient than inspired, but there's something to be said for that sort of workmanlike ethic in an old-fashioned "B" movie fashion.
