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 Jun 3, 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 Apr 14, 2024

Robert P @Superbad 17 hrs ago This movie has been done before it's Called Flightplane so I give this movie a *1.5* star rating! See more Farah R @Farah Aug 3, 2026 I love Wesley Snipes but what the hell is this? The script is so AI even though the technology wasn’t invented yet. Some lines were so bad, I couldn’t believe the actors managed to utter them with a straight face. The entire logic behind the premise is absurd and that generic villain was the cherry on top. It’s just so bad. See more mohammed M. @9mr_0 Feb 7, 2026 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.
