Big, dumb and stupid but sometimes you’re in the mood for that, and the fact it’s set during a snow storm makes it visually different. The performances of the bit part actors is shocking (those British Airways passengers and staff, that hostess to talks to Bonnie Bedelia) and the one liners woefully unfunny, but it’s clever to get out of the plane by an ejector seat, the twist of the soldiers being bad too is good, the villains are imposing and different (military men as opposed to Europeans). Some irritating stuff: why is it so bad journalist William Atherton wants to report that terrorists have taken over an airport? Isn’t that something people should know?
