Fuck you, Eddie Kim!
One clever guise deserves another.
Review: Snakes on a Plane
Every once in a while, something special comes along in the american cinema.
A movie event. A film experience that is unrivaled by it's contemporaries.
Snakes on a Plane is that experience.
Some guy plays witness to a murder comitted by classic asian villain Eddie Kim (played by some asian guy). Moments after that, defying all forensic logic, Nelville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) rescues some guy from a terribly suspensful situation.
Now some guy has to testify and put the evil Eddie Kim behind bars for life.
But not before flying from Honolulu to LA. And Eddie Kim doesn't want to choose what he "prefers. Gas or lethal injection". So he calls on the capable hands of some illegal snake smuggler, and has him rig up an ingenious contraption to release a cocktail of international snakes upon the unknowing passengers.
So Flynn and some guy board the plane with Flynn's "tough ass" partner along with a motley crew of other passengers for a ride that they (or we) will never forget.
And this movie is just brilliantly executed. Director David. R Ellis does an excellent job pacing this movie out. It moves naturally and flows chronologically forward. The use of color in film is a great idea. Red, green, blue. All the filter are top notch here.
And Samuel L. Jackson's Nelville Flynn is inspired. So inspired. He delivers his lines with an expertise and poise that is so often left out in modern roles.
And those lines! John Heffernan and Sebastian Gutierrez expanded incredibly well on David Dalessandro and John Heffernan's story. It was a true work of brilliance.
Do yourself a favor, and go see this movie.
Grade:A+++++
Drunk. Go see it drunk.
Tschüs!
