Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Flight attendant Teri Holloran thought it would be an easy flight. On board the 747, a few weary passengers are taking the trip home on Christmas. Then four marshals and two convicts board the plane, transferring to Los Angeles. One of the criminals, Stubbs, breaks free. He is taken down, but not before the other man, Ryan Weaver, is set free. Quickly, Teri finds herself alone in the cockpit, the plane's auto-pilot unable to handle the rough weather outside. And as supervisors on the ground fear for the worse, Weaver decides that he wants to go out in a blaze of glory, right into Los Angeles.......This is one of those films that you have to take a huge pinch of salt with to get through. If you haven't seen the film as if yet, chances are you know its a bad movie. But there are bad movies that are really a chore to get through, and there are bad movies like this.This fall into the category of the latter. It's a bad movie for sure, but the second act onwards is just so bonkers, and Liotta so over the top, so hammy, so pantomime villain, you cannot help but enjoy the ridiculousness of it all.It starts off pretty solid, Liotta is pretty sinister as the killer, his portrayal in the first act is that of Ted Bundy, charming, friendly, likable. But he almost turns into a parody once the carnage starts, and if he didn't want to be typecast as the on screen psycho in film, he sure does a good job of making sure he didn't command a big budget movie after this. He certainly goes all Tex Avery, and spouts one liners like his life depended on it.Lauren Holly is OK, but it's no surprise that you haven't heard from her in a while, unless you like straight to Blu Ray trash.The film is a load of rubbish, but it's a lot if fun, even if you wouldn't dare admit it.

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.

At one point there is an untutored bloodied flight attendant in a bra trying to fly a jumbo jet over Los Angeles during a level six (out of six) thunderstorm so she can land at LAX, while behind her a cackling maniac who has just murdered everyone else on board and wants to crash the plane into a densely populated area has just disabled the auto pilot with a mountain-climbing ax and is now hacking his way through the floor of the flight deck so he can rape and murder the flight attendant at the controls.Every moment is like this. It's as if a committee had sat around a table drinking cafe lattes until they started brainstorming on all the things that could go wrong, or could threaten to go wrong, while a couple of convicts were being transported by U. S. Marshals on an airplane.It makes one nostalgic for the 1970s when these kinds of movies were just getting started and depended on plot, character, and atmosphere a bit more. Remember "Jaws"? What this movie is like, is what "Jaws" would have been like if it had opened with a shot of "Bruce's" head surging out of the water towards the camera, mouth agape, and the remaining two hours were taken up with the shark chomping on everything in sight. We'd never get to know the sheriff or his family or any of the other characters, except in the most one-dimensional way. (The guy in the black T shirt is the sheriff. The guy with the glasses is some kind of scientist. Etc.) It wasn't so long ago that they knew how to do these things with a bit of panache, relying less on strobe lightning and electronic thunder and more on suspense. "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" is as unpretentious as this and yet is easier to watch because it's so much more interesting to know something about the people involved, something more than that they have destructible physical bodies.Going back even farther in filmic history, I'm beginning to weep with a sense of loss, going back even farther, imagine how "King Kong" would have turned out if, instead of Kong not showing up until the movie was half over, the entire movie had Kong trashing the ship's crew and then all of New York City -- during a thunderstorm.There isn't a moment's pause in "Turbulence." It snaps from crisis to crisis so quickly and with such little logic that it makes "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" look like a masterpiece.Let me comment on the acting. I think I liked Ben Cross's part the best. He plays a British pilot in another airliner who coaches the flight attendant once in a while. His role never requires him to leave his seat.Are you down in the dumps? Are you obsessing over a lost love? Do you want your mind benumbed for about an hour and a half, so thoroughly that it takes you a while to answer the question, "What is the name of the planet you're on?" This is your movie.

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.
