Snakes On a Plane

When a young man witnesses a brutal mob murder, it falls to FBI agent Neville Flynn to escort his charge safely from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify. But in an act of self-preservation, the crime boss facing prison smuggles hundreds of poisonous snakes onto the commercial aircraft in a crate timed to release its deadly cargo halfway over the Pacific. Flynn, along with a frightened flight crew and passengers, must then band together in a desperate attempt to survive.

Come on, it's a plane full of motherf%!#in' snakes with Samuel L. Jackson doing the slicin' and dicin'. What do you think I'm going to say?

Story

Maybe you're concerned Snakes on a Plane isn't going to live up to the hype. Stop worrying. Those fanatic Internet bloggers, who've been raving about the movie just from the snippets they've seen, pegged the movie to a tee. SoaP is everything its cracked up to be and more, a monster movie and disaster flick rolled into one. Granted, the plot is wafer…

KEVIN O'DONNELL - February 1, 2007

The title sums up this stinker's plot, with Samuel L. Jackson as an airborne serpent slayer. So what about the disc's extras? Except for the feature on bloggers sparking buzz before Snakes' release, added stuff like bloopers and cut scenes is poor. "It's a train ride you get on and can't get off," says stewardess Julianna Margulies in promo mode. Try to resist the temptation.
