Air travel is safest, the FAA says. But the FAA never figured the risk with Charles Rane on board. “The Rane of Terror” has masterminded four terrorist attacks. Soon there will be a fifth - and that's bad news for passengers on Flight 163. But there's good news too: the man in seat 57! Wesley Snipes earns his wings in this exciting airborne adventure. He plays John Cutter, an undercover security operative who enters the lavatory and exits to find Rane (Bruce Payne) and his gang have taken over. Cutter's next move is clear. Do. Or be done to. If it's action you seek, Passenger 57 is the only way to fly! (Warner Bros. AU)

The running time of this film is the most peculiar. 84 minutes is a truly interesting number and ideally suits the ongoing game of good-guy Wesley Snipes and wannabe tough guy Bruce Payne. The action is surprisingly fast, dynamic, and the fights are well executed. The frequent change of locations prevents any stereotypes, so do not expect the monotony of Die Hard or Under Siege. However, the film doesn’t lack a series of nonsense and logical mistakes, but if you are willing to accept certain pitfalls and consider Passenger 57 a genre film from the 1990s, when the word “reality” was not taken so seriously, you will certainly not be disgusted.
