Synopsis
If you weren't afraid of flying before, you will be now.
On a flight transporting dangerous convicts, murderer Ryan Weaver manages to break free and cause complete chaos throughout the plane. As various people on board fall victim to Weaver, it is ultimately down to flight attendant Teri Halloran to keep the aircraft from crashing, with on-ground support from an air traffic controller. While Halloran struggles to pilot the plane, Weaver continues to terrorize the surviving members of the crew.

Astonishingly perfectly-pitched trash, single-minded in its pursuit of cheap thrills. Liotta is hilarious.
Discussed on Episode 42 of The Suspense is Killing Us.

This is yet another 90s thriller that must have seemed like such disposable braindead schlock when it was released but now feels like a precious relic of a bygone artform. A 100-minute thrill ride featuring an unhinged Liotta performance full of psycho charmer grace notes, plus it's a Christmas movie.
-
A slasher in the sky with Ray Liotta at his most hilarious and unhinged best? Fuck yes. Seriously I don't think I appreciated just how much fun Liotta was in this at the time - definitely enjoyed it more on a rewatch.
-
love how this starts out like some sort of legitimately serious Passenger 57/Con Air riff and then it turns into a histrionic live action cartoon with Liotta doing his best Wile E. Coyote just prancing around the plane with different weapons, winking at the camera like we are all just here to watch him wreak havoc — and we are
-
Ray Liotta’s crazy acting was a bit too much. 1997 had two prisoner plane transport films come out, which is kinda crazy, but I haven’t seen Con Air yet. It should be the better film, but don’t hold me to that. The plane photography was decent, and when it crashes through buildings, that was awesome.

Critics are easy to crash Turbulence as a cluttered and horrid thriller about a Christmas flight hijacked by a criminal intent of killing everyone on board. Granted, the film’s first half is clichéd and weary but things took a sharp turn midway; suddenly the storytelling became disturbing and unconventional. Acting wise, Ray Liotta is believable as a lunatic convict while Lauren Holly is serviceable as the stewardess who found her strength to strategize, fight back and even land a plane sans formal training. The fun may be too little, too late but I liked it. If your Christmas season watch list is few slots empty, you can add Turbulence for an escapist, forgettable watch.

That's it. I'm never flying this airline again
Ray Liotta at his most unhinged!
Despite being a theatrical flop, due to promotional trailers being pulled after the crash of TWA Flight 800, this film is better than it has any right to be. Like another 1997 pairing of Volcano & Dante’s Peak this was is oddly similar to Con Air that was released just 5 months later. Incredible cast of character actors and across from Liotta you have Lauren Holly being a total badass. And all set at Christmas, sign me up

"Turbulence" is a 1997 thriller directed by Robert Butler. Starring Ray Liotta and Lauren Holly, the film's narrative depicts an insane plane ride from hell after a cross-country prisoner transfer onboard the aircraft goes wrong. Liotta plays Ryan Weaver, a felon who questionably might hold some innocence to his name as he claims the police planted evidence to arrest him. While Weaver is transported with another felon named Stubbs (played by Brendan Gleeson sporting a southern US drawl), havoc ensues. This causes much of the flight staff compromised and Weaver calling the shots. The only soul personality left that could possibly fly they plain is Holly's character of Teri Halloran, a flight stewardess who combating if she can trust Weaver…

Robert Butler, director of Night of the Juggler, simultaneously gave us the second best plane hijacking film of 1997 (behind Con Air) and the best plane/airport set Christmas genre film this side of Die Hard 2; features an all timer performance from a scowling, singing, utterly manic Ray Liotta and about 2/3 of the runtime is an extended action sequence - spawned two sequels, should have spawned more
-
Absolutely tons of fun and 100% entertaining even if many aspects are mediocre. Isn't this what we mean when we flippantly say "disaster" flick? Ray Liotta must have gained a full 50 pounds after this performance for not only chewing the scenery but completely devouring it and I am here for every single second. The other person worthy of appraisal is the ultra-charming, uber-paternal Ben Cross with his calm assertion to help our girl Lauren Holly land a Boeing 747 without ever flying before. Throw in a solid Christmas atmosphere and you have all the positives. Mega-cheesy blockbuster with some flair. Brendan Gleeson's southern accent is terrible, and the rest of the cast doesn't do anything to write home about, but who cares if Liotta's your guy? Hopefully I haven't given you turbulence with my mostly positive review and my two-star rating!

Ray Liotta didnt even know it was a film

"Turbulence? More like TURDulence" - Gene Shalit, I assume, at some point.
This was a script that sold for a million dollars!!??
It oozes that 90s style and has got a handsome visual sheen, Ray Liotta's madcap performance, and Shirley "Batman: The Animated Series" Walker's bombastic score, but this has got zero tension! Almost everyone gets killed off-screen! Half-the film is just Liotta walking very slowly toward Lauren Holly as the camera shakes.
This was directed by a 70-year-old TV vet who quit the business after this movie because he had finally said everything he had to say.
