Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Python Hyena Turbulence (1997): Dir: Robert Butler / Cast: Lauren Holly, Ray Liotta, Hector Elizondo, Catherine Hicks, Rachel Ticotin: Total waste of film that belongs in a trash bin. Lauren Holly plays the stupidest airline stewardess to ever board a plane. She has just ended a bad relationship and not up for the Christmas cheer. Everything is routine until a couple of criminals decked in shackles are brought aboard. She claims that these guys do not look like criminals. That is how stupid she truly is. What does this moron stewardess view as criminal? Predictable elements follow as one of the criminals is granted use of the washroom leading to a shootout until Holly and one of those so-called innocent criminals are left. Director Robert Butler successfully creates a mess by allowing the action to skew out of control. He previously directed the comedy Up the Creek and this is about as hilarious and that is not a compliment. Holly is at her absolute worst as this airhead stewardess. Ray Liotta does his best as the crazed killer but the role creates nothing new thus leaving him as your standard villain. Hector Elizondo plays the standard cop who tries to talk the plane down and other such crap. Even poor Catherine Hicks gets sucked into this garbage. Pointless garbage with flimsy action scenes that unintentionally play off humour such as the plane flying upside down or its wheels snagging a car. This film should be smashed with a rock. Score: 0 / 10

PeterMitchell-506-564364 Turbulence is such as embarrassingly dumb movie, the actors must of surely had laughing fits in between. This is another half baked product, another one of these plane hijack movies, this bad review of it, made it made me want to go and see it. It's almost deserves it's place in the comedy section of the video store. Cool, handsome, smooth talking serial killer, Ryan Weaver (Ray Liotta) hamming it up here, boards a plane with another bad dude, and their two escorting officers. Liotta can be scary and he definitely has his moments here. Weaver has killed a few woman, the last one nearly losing her life too, when an obsessive detective (Hector Elizondo) and his team stepped in and saved her. Liotta as you can guess, escapes as does the other prisoner and turns this plane ride into bedlam. Lauren Holly, an innocent stewardess becomes the hero of the film, as all the pilots, most of stewardess's and some passengers who should of behaved, are all deceased. All the rest of the passengers are in the top deck, Liotta and Holly are left alone, where idle chat and some too close for comfort moments, take place. At least we are learning a bit about the killer. I like that intense scene between Liotta and another stewardess, who he childs for picking on Holly, that is before he kills her in a quite gruesome way too.I think he raped her also. There's an uglyness in Turbulence, that a lot of other plane hijack movies are void of, in terms of violence, and the loss of life, that's taken away so cheaply here. For Liotta fans, Turbulence will make your night, but this film just has a lot of incredulous moments. I can't imagine how scared I'd be if the plane did a 360. Just a good laugh/action romp, that may put you off planes for good. Why Ben Cross as one of the control tower pilots, who talks Holly through a safe landing, did this, is beyond me.

j22b Maybe it's not Academy Award winning stuff ... but every time this movie is on TV I watch it. Take a very, very smart killer. trick him, capture him, transport him on a very large jet. Oh yes, and under-estimate his abilities, especially to charm you. Add to it a kind and helpful crew with problems of their own. It's creepy and suspenseful. Even though I know how it turns out, I can't help but watch it. Ray Liotta may be at his best. Lauren Holly and the rest of the cast do a fine job. I'm not sure why this average is so low ... just remember suspension of disbelief is the stuff movies are made of; and, enjoy!

ricky roche Distributor: HBO Home VideoPlot: When a 747 heading from New york to L.A. is taken over by a seductive psychopathic killer, and the only one who can stop him is a beautiful young flight attendant, you'd better fasten your seat belts because this trip is going to be a killer ride.Audio/Video: The VHS edition has perfect picture quality and has an excellent sound quality.Extras: No extras on the video.Final thoughts: Turbulence is a thrilling movie with great acting ans excellent special effects, but after watching it a couple of times, it really starts to get boring. The sequel is pretty good. I have yet to see the 3rd part, but part 2 is cool, check it out.
