Review of Turbulence

Turbulence (1997)
Simply the Best!
2 February 2003
Ray Liota offers up a god-like performance in this high-altitude thriller! The big R is simply amazing as the creepy Ryan Weaver. Why this movie was never in contention for some serious awards I will never know. This classic good vs. evil film is the type of movie that any good red-blooded American should love. It has the big R, babes, and a classic, yet unpredictable plot. I've flew in quite a few military aircraft during my service to our great nation, but my favorite has always been a 747 cargo conversion. They are such sweet planes - how they gracefully fly through the sky like honey across hot toast. This makes the 747 the ideal choice for a mid-air terror flick. Lauren Holly sizzles in this epic as the sultry flight attendant, and the other supporting superstars such as Jeffrey Joseph leave their mark on this incredible epic as well. Chances are, if you like this movie you also: 1. Love beer and cheese-filled hot dogs. 2. Use a small black comb to comb your hair instead of a brush with one of those comfort-grip handles. 3. Own a patriotic dog like a Pharaoh Hound or Golden Retriever. 4. Don't care if your vehicle only gets 9 mpg. 5. Know all the words to every Whitesnake song ever released. 6. Hate turkey bacon and salmon cakes. 7. Don't spend a long time looking for a perfectly clean public restroom when you have to go. 8. Would rather have noodles than rice. 9. Can bring yourself to believe that Britney Spears is not actually as talented as everyone says she is. And last... 10. Attend patriotic services on memorial day. This movie is an American experience. Billy Drago might have been able to improve this movie but only if he pulled out all the stops and gave his very finest performance.
