So the summer movie season is coming to a close, most movies came and went, but Hollywood saved the best for last. I know what your thinking; how could this “B” titled film be held in such a high regard? Let me explain it with one word: FUN!

Hollywood spends so much time trying to create the biggest bang for their buck that they seem to forget why we go to the Summer Movies in the first place; to be entertained, not to sit through 2 hours of somebody having a blast with an unlimited budget.

Jackson, who put his “BAD MOTHER FU#&ER” Wallet back in his pocket, is in top form here. He is the perfect antidote for this snake-bite freight-fest. From the moment we leave the tarmac, which takes about ten minutes, till the moment we arrive at our destination, there are thrills to be had. Some moments are over-the-top, and others are added to keep you on your toes. However there is never a sense of over-kill. In the tradition of great Summer Drive-In movies, like The Blob, Tremors, and many 50’s and 60’s features, Snakes on a Plane gets you to your destination on-time.

So check your bags and have a safe flight!
