Very stupid screenplay! Could have been much better and more realistic for a 2023 movie!
Watchable, if there's nothing else.

Gerard Butler’s an interesting guy. He studied law at the University of Glasgow, but was reportedly fired from his first law firm one week after getting his law license. After establishing himself as an actor, Butler created a productionGerard Butler’s an interesting guy. He studied law at the University of Glasgow, but was reportedly fired from his first law firm one week after getting his law license. After establishing himself as an actor, Butler created a production company (it’s now called G-Base Productions) which bankrolls all of his movies. The company’s first commercial success was “Olympus Has Fallen.” It was soon followed by “London Has Fallen” and “Angel Has Fallen.” The company has no known relationship with Life Alert.

G-Base’s current offering is “Plane.” Like the movie’s title, the film is a stripped-down, bare bones action film. There are no elaborate set pieces. There’s no extraneous dialogue. The main character has no love interest. Turns out, it’s satisfyingly self-sufficient.

Main character a pilot. Plane flies into storm. Plane loses power. Beverage service discontinued. Plane crash-lands in jungle. Good news: plane intact, passengers survive. Bad news: island overrun by ruthless rebel militia. Passengers captured. Pilot must rescue passengers. Entertainingly predictable action ensues.

There’s absolutely nothing new here. The story centers on two main characters. Veteran Captain Brodie Torrance (Butler) is flying for a low-rent airline after being caught on video choking out an unruly passenger. He is square-jawed, stoic, but also prone to introspection, of course in a totally manly way. When trying to rescue the passengers, Brodie is led/helped by Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter – “Jessica Jones,” title role in “Luke Cage”). In a surprising development, Gaspare is not a mustache-twirling Frenchman, but a formidable-looking, manacled prisoner convicted of capital murder who once served in the French Foreign Legion. Mon dieu. Both actors are excellent.

There’s something refreshing about a movie willing to just do simple things well. Here, the creative team is self-confident enough to tell a story without diversion, subterfuge or distracting subplots and to still believe their effort will satisfy the audience. In other words, welcome to the 1990s. Think of “Plane” as furthering the tradition of “Con Air” and “Air Force One.”

That’s not to say the finished product is flawless. At one point, Brodie voluntarily goes to the captors and offers himself in place of the captured passengers. It’s a little too messianic. But perhaps this airline has created a frequent flyer program where loyalty works both ways.

If you’re looking for two hours of pleasant diversion, this film is strongly recommended. It’s ideal for the moviegoer who found “Top Gun: Maverick” a little too complicated.… Expand

If your plane is going to crashland on an Island even the nearby governments are too afraid to go near, well then it’s a good thing your pilot is Gerard Butler.

Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) is a pilot, a father and only delighted to be onIf your plane is going to crashland on an Island even the nearby governments are too afraid to go near, well then it’s a good thing your pilot is Gerard Butler.

Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) is a pilot, a father and only delighted to be on his way home to his daughter for New Years after one last flight. Well on what should have been a routine flight ends badly during a lightning strike and they are forced to “land” on a war torn Island. Better than landing on the water right? Wrong, turns out from all the places they could have landed, the Island is filled with dangerous rebels practically queuing up to get shot and battered by Gerard Butler. Turns out “the crash was just the beginning.” Gerard Butler must now find a way to get help while also protected the passengers from these dangerous criminals.
Plane is a mindless action flick that writes itself, offers no real surprises but is entertaining in the moment and does the job. It’s fast paced, wastes absolutely no time getting going and is just an all-round fun movie. There’s also enough time allowed to set up the characters before things go south so you’re invested enough in the story to care what happens. The fight scenes are very well shot, none of this over the top shaky cam stuff. It’s actually clear to see each and every vicious punch to the head. It’s not exactly going to go down in history as one of the best action movies ever made but it’s enjoyable all the same. Pretty sure the only reason anyone is seeing Plane is for Gerard Butler. It’s definitely one of his better movies, and believe me I’ve seen some of his worst ones (yeah I’m looking at you Gods of Egypt), so when I say Plane is a decent movie you can trust me.

If there’s one thing cinemas will never be short of is an action star thrown into a perilous situation and must save the day before it’s too late. Plane is actually what it advertises, no more and no less. If you’re looking for something different to all the award contenders right now, then look no further, Plane has you covered. Highly recommended for all the diehard Gerard Butler fans.… Expand

The side characters, the 'crisis center' the militias and the daughter were perhaps a bit poorly worked out, but the main story was action packed and had a good pace. Despite the killings, to me there was a bit of a Hallmark whiff to it all, with no grey in any of the characters, but not to the extent that it became annoying. Decent action packed movie if you're in the mood.… Expand

Muito eficiente a ideia de tornar o avião o protagonista da história, que basicamente é uma luta pela sobrevivência após um pouso forçado.
O tempo de duração é curto, portanto, o roteiro não enrola com cenas desnecessárias. Absolutamente tudo é econômico, e há uma cena de luta à mão realmente muito boa.
O grande problema, além da previsibilidade, é que já assistimos a esse conteúdo centenas de vezes. Uma das cenas iniciais mostrando o laço do piloto com a filha me desanimou total, como se esse tipo de filme sempre precisasse criar um laço familiar para justificar o drama da luta pela sobrevivência. Não se basta por si?
Enfim, temos um típico filme, ainda bem que as atuações são boas (com a ressalva de que os estrangeiros continuam caricatos e "malvados"), e tecnicamente está ok. Cinema pipoca bom.… Expand

There's tensionGerard Butler plays a pilot whose plane has a forced landing on a remote island ruled by warring rebels. There are actually 2 movies here: The flight, which is pretty gripping, and the fight, which is standard action fare. There's tension building up to the emergency landing, but once they arrive in the jungle the threats become human and not especially intimidating. The rescue attempt has lots of gunfire, but not much else. Once you've experienced the entire movie, the absurdity of the premise becomes even more ridiculous. Still, it's a passable but quickly forgotten action flight.… Expand

Whenever there is a film starring Gerard Butler in the lead, you automatically think that it is going to be a leave-your-brain-at-home-action bonanza. I thought Plane would be no different, especially when I viewed the trailer. But yet again,Whenever there is a film starring Gerard Butler in the lead, you automatically think that it is going to be a leave-your-brain-at-home-action bonanza. I thought Plane would be no different, especially when I viewed the trailer. But yet again, I was surprised with the warm reception the film got and on Monday, I made it a point to go and watch this film. Suffice to say, just like the rest, I was surprised and impressed as well. Plane isn't just an action film. It is a thriller as well and all in all a good entertainer.

Of course I am not giving away any spoilers but from what the trailer shows, it is a story centered around a Airplane Pilot Brodie Torrance (Gerard Butler) and what unfolds on new year's eve with him and his passengers and crew. The 1st half of the film is a pure thrill ride and it keeps you glued to your seat, although you know what is going to happen, you still want to see it unfold. You might think that the 2nd half of the film is gonna be a Rambo-like film but actually it isn't which is a good thing and honestly a great approach to a predictable plot.

Performance wise, of course it is Gerard Butler who is the star of the show, since the entire story revolves around his character.

After him it is Mike Colter who has done a good job although, he doesn't have much to do accept beat up the bad guys.

The Supporting cast and do their adequate best in their respective roles.

Charles Cumming and J. P. Davis who have written the script should be acknowledged because Plane is a film you go in expecting the same-old, same-old action madness but you come out satisfied because it isn't that.

Director Jean-François Richet has done a good job 'merging' two genres into one. Kudos to him for this attempt and waiting to see more from him.

In conclusion, Plane is a good entertainer because it tries to be different and for that I give it accolades. Go for it if you like Pure-Popcorn-Entertainment.… Expand

PLANE was better than it had any right to be. It is a shining example of what a fun action popcorn movie that doesn't take itself too seriously should be.

Generally speaking, it depends on the viewer, I for one think knowing the parameters of what Gerard Butler usually does in the genre, this is far from the best he's done, but not the worst of his repertoire either and Mike Colter is a good addition for him in what is ultimately basic and undercooked.

The last 20 minutes are very fun and the Gerardness of it all is exactly what was needed. But the middle third is dreadfully stale, predictable, and boring, luckily that doesn't last for too long.

I mean, if you watched the trailer you know what this is. A slightly more expensive version of the action-thrillers Liam Neeson has been putting out, with a fun plane crash and a good shootout or two. Definition of a turn your brain off movie.

A fun popcorn movie. Kept me engaged start to finish. No complaints. It's not going for any awards, but who cares. It's just fun. They probably saved a lot of money by not doing a bunch of outside CGI shots of the plane, uh, landing.
