Plane

**Plane is a well-done action thriller with a solid lead and good fight sequences. Nothing more. Nothing less.** Plane is a low-budget action/survival movie that checks all the boxes and provides plenty of gritty Gun fights and brutal melee combat along the way. The film that didn’t spend much time picking a clever name also didn’t waste much time on character development. Instead, the plot is centered on Gerard Butler as he works to secure the safety and survival of a small group of passengers. Unfortunately, the island they crash-landed on is full of a bunch of pirate/terrorist types, so Butler does some shooting and punching, and choking to save the day. Plane won’t win any awards, but it is a solid action movie that I would watch again and recommend renting (probably not a whole $20 purchase to own, though) to any action fan. I’m glad it got a theatrical release so people can trust that it’s a little bigger budget and higher quality than most straight-to-stream action films.

MORE SPOILER-FREE MINI-REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/mini-reviews-2023-edition "Plane exceeds low personal expectations. Originality, creativity, and deep exploration of themes or character arcs aren’t exactly part of the screenplay, but Jean-François Richet executes all his ideas in such an efficient manner that it fully justifies releasing in theaters instead of going straight to VOD. Gerard Butler uses his charisma to lead a by-the-numbers survival-rescue mission that surprisingly holds beautifully shot action sequences and quite high entertainment levels. A film that delivers what it promises and a bit more." Rating: B

Another quality action film from big guns Butler. The plane flying/landing sequences were tense. The fight scenes were well executed. The story was fine. All around an entertaining action flick.
