Snakes Are A Pain


Cool poster though!

SNAKES ON A PLANE-2006-I guess this movie is kind of a set-up. There’s a lot of cliched characters and everything goes from bad to worse. A guy (Nathan Phillips) in Hawaii witnesses a mobster killing a lawyer. Agent Samuel L. Jackson convinces him to go to LA to testify. The mobster knows this and sabotages the plane having snakes released during the flight. Really!

There’s a lot of stupid character build up (a guy who hates flying, a rapper who doesn’t liked to be touched, a grouchy Englishman, air head blonde with a dog) leading up to the snake attack but when the reptiles attack they come out of everywhere. Passengers are bitten on the neck, the eye, the mouth and one guy gets it while urinating (I don’t have to tell you what body part do I?). Fortunately Jackson keeps most of them at bay with a tazer! Julianna Margulies plays a stewardess.

Director David R. Ellis was a former stuntman who also made FINAL DESTINATION 2.

Thanks for reading!
