Forget terrorists or hijackers -- there's a handful of deadly assassins aboard a jet liner and they don't even have arms or legs in this airborne thriller. Neville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) is an FBI agent handling what seems like a routine assignment -- serving as bodyguard for Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips), a Hawaiian surfer dude who is flying to California to testify in a high-profile criminal trial after witnessing mobster Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) murdering one of his underlings. However, Flynn's job gets a lot more challenging when he discovers Kim's associates don't want Jones to talk, and have devised a unique way to ensure his silence. A cache of highly dangerous poisonous snakes has been hidden on board the jet, and is released using a timed mechanism once the flight is well underway. The snakes quickly attack several members of the flight crew and are eagerly eying the passengers when Flynn decides its time to get medieval on the reptiles. Also starring Rachel Blanchard, Benjamin McKenzie, and Mark Houghton, Snakes on a Plane was produced under the title of Pacific Air Flight 121, but in several interviews Samuel L. Jackson expressed his enthusiasm for the script's original title, Snakes on a Plane, and the high-concept moniker quickly made the film's title and theme a favorite with bloggers and on Internet fan sites all over the world. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I thought this would be great with Samuel L. Jackson and Keenan (from Keenan and Kel), but the entire film had raunchy, sexist one-liners filled throughout. A mother had to suck out snake poison from a kid's arm and a couple guys saw it and said, "Now that's what I'm talkin' about. I've been bit too". The entire movie had this raunchiness in it. The ending was really bad. The writers must have been on strike because the movie abuptly ended with no real conclusion. Only see this if someone else rents it, if you must.

Don't rent this to see a "classic." It is what you expect it to be - a fun, thriller. If you like movies such as Friday the 13th and Halloween, you'll like this one. Bring your friends - fun to watch in a group.

OK now this movie brought a totally different type of story to the screen about a in air highjacking that is without a doubt kick ass there is almost nothing like it around and everybody has one of two reactions when you think about snakes love them or hate them and this movie makes hating them the thing that keeps you gripped at times to the edge of your seat nice job by Jackson and all right job by the rest its a different theme and a take away from the everyday catch the cool snake eating a guy whole 3/4 of the way threw
