Passenger 57, Rating 0
20 February 2002 | by (NYC 'Burbs) – See all my reviews

People joke and call this film "Fly Hard"... if only it could live up to its namesake. Poorly acted, spottily directed and completely unfeasible... did you know that an airline has more hidden rooms and compartments than your typical haunted mansion? Furthermore, the terrorist villain is about as scary as my Aunt Gail. My advice: cancel this flight and leave the gate!
