A textbook case of heavy hype and puny payoff, David R. Ellis' Snakes on a Plane became a much-talked-about phenomenon thanks to huge buzz on the Internet, only to crash and burn when it opened in theaters. The plot would fit on the underside of a bottle-cap: a drug kingpin puts a time-release crate of squirmy poisonous reptiles in the hold of a plane bound for California carrying a hotshot FBI agent (Samuel L. Jackson) tasked with transporting a Hawaii surfing dude (who saw the narcotics thug whack an L.A. prosecutor and has agreed to appear as a witness). Once the critters are loosed, many onboard screams and deaths ensue, coupled with the obligatory examples of macho courage and nobility punctuated with bursts of really lame humor. Meanwhile, the FBI station chief on the ground works with a scientist to collect the antidotes that will be required if the crippled aircraft ever makes it back to the mainland. Totally absurd premise, right? Unfortunately, the filmmakers try to turn this into a legitimate thriller (despite the shabby special effects) rather than playing it for ludicrous trash, resulting in unintentional giggles. A quintessential high-concept movie that never manages to take off, this is not recommended. (F. Swietek) Copyright Video Librarian Reviews 2006.
