Adam Mars-Jones Independent (UK) The film that Passenger 57 would like to be when it grows up is Die Hard, not most people's idea of a grown-up film in the first place. Nov 14, 2017 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Nov 6, 1992 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media Passenger 57 is a lean but smart popcorn flick that blends a dash of social commentary with its high-kicking, high-altitude set pieces. Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …cinema du fromage…a B-Movie classic, fast, funny, and funky… Rated: 4/5 Apr 14, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a briskly paced (yet undeniably dated) thriller that's been jam-packed with exciting, memorable action set-pieces...

Gerry B One of my favourite ever action movies. Wesley is the man. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Caiden M One of my favorite movies when I was a young kid and it still holds up today. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Adam S If you like intense, action-packed martial Arts movies, this is a "must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Rosana B Bom, mas quase uma comédia pastelão, lembra da ação no Caso Eloa, sequestrador sai do avião, ''passeia'' pelo parque e consegue ingressar novamente e decolar com o avião, eita, quanta competência, o protagonista faz o mesmo, e ainda um strike, sozinho, com todos os terroristas, um a uma, não é ruim, mas não envelheceu tão bem assim, cansativo, pouco divertido, tensão fria, boas cenas de ação, mas esquecível e pouco cativante… Passe o tempo, com pouco entusiasmo… Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Dee L I'm pretty confident that the people rating this film were not alive when this came out. It did damn good in the theaters and was a damn good movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review isa e Snipes is solid, the action scenes are competent Acting otherwise is subpar but it is worth a watch,just do not expect great and you will not be disappointed Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
