I really like thrillers and I was very excited when I heard of this title. The things which really upsetted me was the computer animations were not up to the mark. I mean it didn't look real. So many snakes all together and then a giant constrictor boa on the plane. You really need to have several thousands to show that number. Secondly They never tried to tell how in the first place somebody smuggled so many snakes in. I was hoping that Sam Jackson would make some funny/interesting comments. Not really it was mundane. The only good comment was at the end...."he's my brother from a different mother." Overall if you go and watch this movie, don't go with any expectations. P.S. the only other interesting thing in the movie was to see how the girl sitting close to us completely freaked out.
