Seen a lot of movies, but nothing quite like this

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2008)

Hands down one of my favorite movies, that doesn't make me think but has enough action and plot to keep me watching, and watching.
Not one of Nicolas Cage's best performances, but he is the same actor in almost everyone movie he is in, his voice never changes, and neither do his expressions. However, he is nonetheless one of the main, and key characters in this action flick.
John Cusack, actually, one of John's best acting performances, really I haven't seen a great John Cusack movie ever, however, with these set of actors he actually puts on a very suspenseful drama induced part, of an FBI agent.
Steve Buscemi, he adds to the motley crew of killers and rapists that all happen to be on this airplane. He is in fact a very smart and intellectual killer, but he is said to be psychotic.
What makes this movie so great is its simplicity, yet complexity. It's a very simple theme, however, the cast of characters that were casted for this movie is just so diverse that it makes this simplistic theme a drama ridden tale.
After watching this movie you sadly won't be any smarter, or no anything more about the world. However, you will be throughly amused and delighted. Unlike many of the great "thinking" movies of the last decade, this movie plays on it's use of great acting, and average story to produce a wonderful, and likable movie.
