Comedy star Lenny Henry literally changes his face for this, his Hollywood debut.
He plays Miles, a budding actor who hears the confession of a Mafia hitman on an out-of-control plane, then has to use the help of a friend who's a movie makeup genius to disguise himself as a white man to stay alive when the plane lands safely.
A fair showcase for Henry which does at least allow him full scope for his talent for mimicry and impersonation.
The humour is pretty obvious, and it's uncomfortable in parts; even so, you'll find it hard not to chuckle on several occasions.
