Passenger 57 | comment |
This film, directed by Kevin Hooks and released in 1992, was the vehicle that solidified Wesley Snipes' career as an action hero.An infamous terrorist named Charles Rane (Bruce Payne) has evaded capture for a long time by being extremely clever and ruthless. When Rane hijacks a commercial airliner with a security specialist on board named John Cutter (Snipes), Cutter must fight back to stop his "Rane of terror" amongst the passengers.Also in the cast are Tom Sizemore, Bruce Greenwood, Robert Hooks, and Elizabeth Hurley. | |

I Never Said It Was Poison: How Vincent gives himself away: he says they should go along with whatever "Mister Rane" orders. He wouldn't know who had hijacked the plane since he was down in the hold the whole time. Not that it matters much, since he tries to knife John right after saying that. | |

Passenger 57 / int_762f71cb | comment |
Unwinnable Training Simulation: Cutter's Establishing Character Moment involves him being part of a hostage drill for trainee stewardesses that has him getting angry at the stewardess' attempt at negotiating for a passenger's life using the standard methods told to her and "killing" the hostage out of sheer spite. This act of savage trolling makes more sense when it turns out that this happened to him in the past. One of the other trainers even tells Cutter that he's being extremely harsh on the trainees and he should take some time off. | |
