Probably my favorite Wesley Snipes film, although Drop Zone is probably way better, courtesy of Hans Zimmer's score. Snipes plays airline security specialist John Cutter, who is flying to Los Angeles on the same plane that's transporting master terrorist Charles Raine. Raine gets free of the FBI's small grip and takes the plane hostage, while Cutter tries to stop the mad bastard before he gets away with his plans.

I bought this about 3 years ago and I totally love this movie--definitely a '90s action classic, if not just one of the most memorable for Wesley's big one-liner. Best part is (SPOILER) when Raine gets transported back onto the plane and one of his henchmen kills a gov't sniper and shoots up all of the SWAT and FBI guys, getting Raine back to the plane. Snipes does a slick roll and blows the bastard down a flight of stairs.



Overall I give this a 7.8/10 for '90s action standards. Mainly because of one of the single greatest dialogues ever:

Cutter: Charlie, you ever play roulette? Let me give you a word of advice: ALWAYS BET ON BLACK!

Umm... I like the blade movies... They were okay, not great. But it entertained me.
