The title says everything you need to know. You're in a 200 foot long aluminum tube flying at 35,000 feet with snakes loose everywhere and Sam Jackson is getting very tired of them. I thought that this film, which wasn't screened for critics, lives up to the hype that has buzzed around it. It's entertaining and delivers, unabashedly what it promises. Snakes, some gore and Sam Jackson. The plot is simple enough. A man is witness to a murder by a crime lord and Sam Jackson is an FBI agent protecting the witness until he can get to LA from Hawaii to testify. Snakes are released on the plane in mid-flight and chaos ensues. I would recommend this film. It's fun, funny and extremely entertaining. It's a rare film that delivers straightforward what it promises. A good time, Sam Jackson yelling and lots of snakes on a plane.

I'd give this a negative rating if I could. I went into this movie not expecting much, but I had an open mind. The whole thing is stupid! The snakes are obviously fake and the first two things they bite are a boob and a guys johnson. Oh how original; if I were a 12 year old boy I might laugh at that. I have no idea how this movie became so popular. Seriously,the worst thing I've ever seen. I wasn't entertained, it wasn't funny,I wasn't even bored! I wasn't anything. It wasn't even so bad it was good, it's just bad. Ridiculous actually. Please do not waste your money on this movie. Don't even rent this movie. No clue how it's getting such a high rating.

Apart from the internet buzz this movie had over the ridiculous premise and name, it doesn't have much going for it. If this is the best Hollywood has to offer then we are in sad shape indeed creatively. I have a hard time believing that, among the thousands upon thousands (maybe millions) of books sitting on the shelves of the Library of Congress there wasn't something more interesting to make a movie about then poisonous snakes being let loose on an airliner. This movie was not "so bad it's good"...rather it was just "so bad". The entire premise is just so ridiculously stupid and unbelievable that there really isn't anything more to say beyond that - in fact, debating the finer points of the movie would be an insult to your and my intelligence...
