Gerard Butler's latest action thriller, "Plane," got buried earlier this year due to little marketing and no momentum heading into its January release, which is a shame because it's honestly one of the actor's best. The film follows pilot Brodie Torrance (Butler) as he's forced to crash-land a plane onto a remote island where his passengers are taken hostage by a local rebel faction. With the help of one of his passengers — a former soldier accused of murder named Louis (Mike Colter) — Brodie must rescue his passengers and help them get off the island.
"Plane" features one of most harrowing crash-landing sequences you'll see in a movie, and it perfectly sets the tone for the incredibly tense fights that follow. All the great suspense and strong chemistry between Butler and Colter help lead the film to an undeniably epic firefight finale that leaves viewers on edge and hanging off every moment. Sure, Butler action thriller flicks have been a little one-note in the past, but "Plane" is far from generic and provides viewers with the kind of thrill ride with great action that audiences are always searching for.
