Plane (2023, dir. Jean-François Richet) - review by Rookie-Critic
I may not outwardly rave about them as much, but I am a fan of action films. When they're done right they can be some of the most purely entertaining films around. Joe Carnahan's Copshop made my top 20 films of 2021 and it was one of the most welcome surprises of the year. So, when I first saw the trailer for Plane, a trailer that, every time it played before another film in the theater, everyone around me would scoff at or say, "Well, that'll suck," I tried not to just dismiss it outright. In fact, I was secretly hoping it'd be great. After all, Gerard Butler (who starred in Copshop) was playing the protagonist and, almost even more enticing than Butler, Mike Colter plays the main supporting character. I loved season 1 of the Marvel/Netflix Luke Cage show (even season 2 had its moments), and was excited to see Colter getting a chance to show everyone what he's got on the big screen. With all that in mind, I went into Plane with an open mind, ready to be tossed into a wild 1 hour and 47 minute ride. I must say, I was not disappointed.
Now, I'm not gonna sit here and say that it's as good as those movies mentioned above, because it isn't, not by a long shot. What it is, however, is incredibly entertaining. Maybe a little slow to get to the good stuff, but still good. Sure, the characters have practically no personality and their motivations are the same overwrought, clichéd, and tired beats that have plagued movies like this since the dawn of movies like this, but honestly who cares! I'm not here for that. I'm glad they've made some effort to give a sense of story and stakes to the movie, but ultimately that is not what's important to me at all when I walk into Plane starring Gerard Butler and Mike Colter. I'm here to see the Plane go down, I'm here to see Gerard Butler fist fight a man to the death, I'm here to see Mike Colter hit someone with a sledgehammer so hard they're flung, like, 30 feet through the air. Who cares about Gerard Butler getting back to his daughter? Who cares if we don't give every single passenger on the plane a unique and interesting backstory and character development? We're here to see action, and Plane delivers, plain (no pun intended) and simple. I'm not insinuating that action films can't rise above the trappings and deliver something truly unique and wonderful (see aforementioned examples above). If they have something that makes them feel like more than just a piece of entertainment, then by all means, I'm down for that, too, but it's not a requirement of the form. There's a decent chance that it's also just personal bias. Something about seeing well-done action in a movie that taps into my monkey brain and makes me smile, makes me burst out laughing when something absolutely buckwild happens, not because it's poorly done or looks dumb or anything, but just because I'm having so much fun at the theater, and ultimately isn't that the ideal popcorn film experience? To each their own, of course, but I think that Plane did exactly what it set out to do, and I respect the hell out of it.
When lightning damages his plane, pilot Brodie Torrance makes a risky landing on a war-torn island. Rebels end up taking most of his passengers hostage, so Brodie must turn to Louis Gaspare, an accused murderer who was being transported on the plane by the FBI, to recue the passengers and escape the island.
Plane stars Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Yoson An, Daniella Pineda, Paul Ben-Victor, Remi Adeleke, Joey Slotnick, Evan Dane Taylor, Claro de los Reyes, and Tony Goldwyn.

TL;DR – Not the biggest or most bombastic action film I have seen, but it knows precisely what it wants to be and makes it work because of that.

I'm watching the old tv series Invisible Man, which aired for two seasons back in 2001 - 2002 or so. It's an extremely low-budget science fiction show that was (I think) produced and originally aired on the Syfy Channel when they were new. The SFX are mostly computer generated and the CGI is very rudimentary, but what sells it is the writing and actor Vincent Ventresca, who stars as the title character.
This show is such a great example of how to make something interesting with almost no money. None of the actors on this show are famous but they are all professionals and give it everything they've got. I'm watching the pilot right now and so far the most famous actor I've seen is Joe Polito, who was in a number of Coen brothers movies (Miller's Crossing and The Big Lebowski come to mind), and his role was pretty small.
Vincent Ventresca's most famous role outside of this was probably the tiny role of "Fun Bobby", who made a few appearances on the tv show Friends.
He plays Darien Fawkes, a cat burglar who wears vintage clothing and has amazing hair and is constantly quoting various philosophers so I guess he likes to read. He's kind of a gray-area good guy, an anti-hero of sorts (I guess? The term "anti-hero" is overused), and he botches a job pretty bad and ends up looking at life in prison. Lucky for him, his brother is a scientist working on a top secret project as the creator of an artificial gland that can be implanted into a person's brain and allow them to secrete a substance called "quicksilver", which makes them invisible. Fawkes reluctantly agrees to be the test subject for the gland, undergoes surgery, becomes The Invisible Man, and then his brother gets murdered so now he's stuck with the gland and he wants it out.
He gets paired with a secret agent named Bobby Hobbes, played by Paul Ben-Victor, who has never had a major high-publicity role but has shown up in minor roles in a lot of movies and shows. Bobby Hobbes is basically a top agent who is burdened with a lot of mental health problems and he struggles to be taken seriously. He and Fawkes have a great rapport and are very much one of the highlights of the series.
The two of them work for The Agency. They didn't even give it a name, they just called it The Agency because that's how secret it is.
The Agency is headed by The Official (no name given), played by Eddie Jones. The only other thing I've ever seen Eddie Jones in was C.H.U.D. (the 1984 horror movie). He is usually seated at a desk with his "bean counter" sycophant, Eberts (Mike McCafferty, who was in Idiocracy).
Fawkes can turn invisible, but the bad guy, Arnaud de Ferhn, put some kind of glitch in the gland that causes him to lose his mind from quicksilver toxicity or something, and it has to be regularly controlled with a "counteragent" that has to be injected whenever the plot needs it to happen. When Fawkes has "quicksilver madness", he becomes dangerously malevolent and his eyes get really bloodshot.
The person on staff who studies the gland and Darien, and administers the counteragent, is just called The Keeper (played by Shannon Kenny, I've never seen her in anything else), sometimes called Claire Keeply, but it's hard to say if that's her real name.
Anyway, the show is mostly about them investigating weird phenomena that always turn out to be something that combines science fiction with spy fiction with a touch of horror here and there.
It got cancelled after two seasons. It had a pretty small but vocal fan base but it was never enough to get a third season produced.
