MOVIE REVIEW; Gerard Butler ages surprisingly well into elder action hero status with PLANE.
Plane
, a briskly paced thriller that agreeably exceeds low expectations. In the film’s more physically demanding scenes, including a brutally prolonged mano a mano struggle that’s the most realistic onscreen fistfight in years, his complexion reddens and composure falters in a way befitting a middle-aged man who appears to be wondering whether he’s too old for this kind of shit anymore.
As commercial pilot Brodie Torrance, a widower with a college-age daughter and a history of punching unruly passengers, Butler again steps up as the hero tasked to save the day in yet another genre flick, albeit one that’s less grandiose than previous ventures that have fairly or unfairly blemished the faintly burring Scotsman’s reputation as just another paycheck performer.
A bit of a masochist with a streak of messiah complex , Torrance could be cynically dismissed as little more than a dad-bod Rambo traipsing through the Southeast Asian jungle with rifle in hand as he selflessly clashes with the villainous trigger-happy locals. But there’s something about the lead actor’s stoic presence here, with every wheeze and wrinkle in full view, that has you thinking that maybe something deeper is going on here, something just outside the tropes of an action movie.
