It is all such gloriously smart stupidity that you cannot help but applaud everyone involved for sticking the landing.
While Plane is meant to be a disposable object, the marks of intelligent filmmaking will make it linger as a positive point of comparison against various irritatingly tongue-in-cheek, cartoonish action films of late.

Very successful action film of the classic kind. There is a suspense curve, the story is reasonably logical and the protagonists are believable. You can watch it with friends and beer at the weekend.

The movie is awesome, a must see! Yes, everything you want in a movie…thrills, action, suspense, and wonderful ending. Satisfies your every need…the itch you wanna scratch. Gerard Butler is genuine and kick ass. Amazing cast. 90’s feel without plot filler or drag. Perfect from start to finish and will have you gripping onto your seat for dear life but enjoying every moment. You’ll feel like you are a passenger on this flight—and you want Gerard Butler to be your pilot… kicking some serious ass and flying you to safety. Get out of your hibernation this winter and go see it now!

If you go into it expecting nothing more than to enjoy watching a sweaty Butler manhandle some bad guys while Colter manhandles him, you’ll be more than satisfied with the ride Plane offers — a well-executed hunk of pulpy entertainment.
Consider this an entertaining popcorn movie to start the year off right, and as Gerard Butler actioners go, a solid mid-tier production.
Almost completely built out of clichés and corn, there’s very little in Plane that hasn’t been seen before, but it very rarely matters. Exciting without ever really thrilling, it’s an immovably solid actioner – a fun Friday night pizza movie packing a handful of relentlessly unfussy action scenes that deliver exactly what they promise.
Plane is as broadly sketched as its title. Puerto Rico doubles here for Philippines, and most of the story elements, too, feel like they’re stand-ins for basic plot conventions.
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.
(Mauro Lanari)
Perhaps coadiuvated more by Fuqua than by Snyder, Butler has been able to carve out a personal tipology of action hero, that of the self-made man socially coming from below with a beard and sweaty tshirt, far from the irony of Willis and Schwarzy as from Vin Diesiel's coarseness. While Bruce dueted with Mrs. McLane, Gerard is obsessed with the inevitable vapid scene of the family father. At the moment his film career is on the wane but, rather than seeing him go from the testimonial of L'Oréal shaving foam and U-Power work shoes to luxury products such as Festina **** better that he self-produce in a film with few pretensions, concise and of ordinary quality in the only role that suits him.

Gerald Butler continues to succeed in making great movies for my Dad and you know, I appreciate that.

Mostly pointless with poor acting! Butler is a captain come mercenary??? Must do better!
