« As it is, Plane offers you what nearly every middling airline experience does: peanuts. »

« Plane is fodder, but the picture brazens through its own implausibilities, carried along -- and occasionally aloft -- by Gerard Butler's squinty dynamo resolve. »

« The banally titled Plane doesn't exactly break new cinematic ground, feeling like the sort of routine actioner that might have starred Rod Taylor and Jim Brown back in the '60s. But it gets the job done, which is more than you can say for most genre films these days. »

« While Plane is definitely not a blockbuster tentpole, it's actually a whole lot more entertaining than most movies I've seen recently that had three or four times the budget. It's just a damn solid time at the movies, and it ranks as one of Butler's best all-around action movies. It's nice to see an old-school action star that still has the chops, and lack of vanity, to do these movies right. »

« Reste maintenant à voir si Jean-François Richet poursuivra son alternance entre le film de genre international et des films issus de son pays natal. »

« Certes, Gerard Butler livre la marchandise dans les scènes d'action, mais son jeu manque singulièrement de nuances dans les moments plus dramatiques. »
