Completely ridiculous passenger drama


Holy Hell! Practically all of the passenger nonsense, with its unsubtle exposition and cardboard cliche writing, should have been rewritten or jettisoned. Most embarrassing was the Korean girl, fawning over pretty white people and calling herself stupid for forgetting English words. This is what happens when you let a novel's author adapt his book for the screenplay. Yikes...

It is indeed a plane load of nonsense. Eventually you start hoping the whole lot crashes into the sea.
