- 85The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzIt is all such gloriously smart stupidity that you cannot help but applaud everyone involved for sticking the landing.
- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt’s the junky, janky mid-winter Liam Neeson thriller we used to get with that first flip of the calendar, only this one stars Gerard Butler, and is directed by Jean-Francois Richet, whose two-part gangster biopic “Mesrine” was pretty juicy. This one’s more pulp than juice, but it’s enjoyable.

- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe violence in Plane is sudden, shocking and damned personal, as director Jean-François Richet keeps his camera tight and hand-held on the hand-to-hand combat sequences, and he stages the shootouts on a “unruly mob vs. professionals” level.
