The texture of "Plane" has not been unseen in movie memory but its effectiveness is undeniably sound. Instead of more CG or heightened thrillers, Gerard Butler has delivered a more grounded, economical but also well paced and well acted action movie.

"Copshop", a lower budget but efficient par-for-the-course entry from director Joe Carnahan continues to shows his love but also texture to make small taut action movies.
