Critics get their teeth into Snakes On A Plane

Critics get their teeth into Snakes on a Plane
Film critics finally got a chance to see Snakes On A Plane this week when the most heavily hyped movie of the year opened in the US and Europe.

Thanks largely to an unprecedented internet campaign fuelled by movie fans, Snakes On A Plane acquired a cult status before it even reached cinemas.

The film stars Samuel L Jackson, who plays an FBI agent escorting a key witness on a flight over the Pacific Ocean.

However, someone wants the witness dead and has smuggled a crate of poisonous snakes aboard.

Mayhem then ensues as Jackson and the crew battle for survival against their slivery foes on board a 747.

Critics had to wait until the official screening to get a look at the film as there were no advanced viewings.

This was partly because Snakes On A Plane was already getting all the media coverage it needed and perhaps because it could never hope to live up to the hype.

Audience reactions have so far been enthusiastic and the official reviews have also been quite positive, with Empire magazine giving the film three stars and Total Film magazine describing it as a "much-needed portion of bloody-minded pulp".

Snakes On A Plane opened in the UK last night and is at cinemas nationwide.End of story
