Turbulence

Product Description "Twister at 36,000 feet" (Hollywood Reporter) results when a seductive serial killer takes control of a massive 747 heading into a severe storm. Can a resourceful flight attendant alter the balance of power during this electrifying thriller that's a "wild ride you'll remember" (People) Year: 1997 Director: Robert Butler Starring: Ray Liotta, Lauren Holly, Brendan Gleeson DVD Features: Filmographies Interactive Menus Production Notes Scene Access TV Spot Theatrical Trailer Amazon.com This chaotic and gratuitously violent movie deservedly took a nosedive when released in 1996. It belongs in the same category of air-disaster movies as Con Air and Air Force One, but those films could be considered masterpieces in comparison to this schlock. Ray Liotta gives an over-the-top performance as the so-called Lonely Hearts Killer, who seizes control of a 747 during mid-flight and proceeds to wreak havoc. He kills just about everyone, but Lauren Holly survives as the flight attendant who eventually has to land the damaged airliner while the pilot of another 747 (Ben Cross) talks her through the landing procedure. Sound familiar? It ought to--Turbulence is another grab bag of thriller clichés. --Jeff Shannon
