Wesley Snipes tries to pilot Passenger 57 away from turbulence, but even he can't help this implausible couch-class action bomber from nose-diving.

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. Go to Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media 06/03/2024
Passenger 57 is a lean but smart popcorn flick that blends a dash of social commentary with its high-kicking, high-altitude set pieces. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 04/14/2024

mohammed M. @9mr_0 Feb 7 أكشن بلا وزن القصة ضعيفة وسطحية، كلشي متوقع ومكرر، الأحداث تمشي بسرعة بدون أي منطق أو عمق حقيقي . التحولات بالسيناريو غير منطقية أحيانًا، والشرير يضحك و ردات فعله مبالغ ببيها لدرجة انها تضحك اكثر ما تخوف ، وكل تصرفاته مصطنعة وكاريكاتيرية. التمثيل تعبان ردّات الفعل مبالغ بيها وتافهة، والبطل تمثيله أوفر بشكل يضوج و ما عنده شعور بالشخصية مبين ان قام بالعمل من اجل المال فقط .الشي الوحيد اللي ينذكر زين هو أداء بعض الشخصيات الثانوية اللي تحاول ان تثبت نفسها لكن ظهورها و حواراتها كان محدود. الإخراج ضعيف، مشاهد الأكشن ما فيها توتر او اثارة . المخرج سرد القصة بسرعه جدا تحس ان عنده شغله اهم من الفلم يريد يروح يقضيها. الكاميرا تتحرك بسرعة بدون تثبيت، واللقطات ما تعطيك إحساس بالفلم او اجواءه . الموسيقى مقبوله لكن في بعض المشاهد مزعجة أو مستخدمة زيادة عن الحاجة. باختصار، الفلم أكشن سطحي، تمثيل أوفر، شرير كوميدي، أحداث متوقعة وفوضوية و سريعه جدا.
