Flight Risk

"This was not good at all. Making Mark bald without him being bald is criminal.."

"Why Mark? Why? "

"I was pretty satisfied with this action movie. It took a different plot than I had assumed it would based on the ads, but I still ended up liking it. Mark Wahlberg takes more of a ridiculous, angry, insane take on his antagonist role in this film (I was expecting something closer to Fear). There's also some really funny and silly moments in this film. Overall, I think the thing that is both the most confusing about this movie (and the most interesting) is its strange but entertaining mix of tones- comedy and violent thriller. Overall, my boyfriend and I enjoyed it, I think it was quite a bit of fun and kept us watching. Just not exactly what I had expected, and maybe that's a good thing."

"Accountant for the mob is in hiding, gets caught by the us marshal, agrees to testify, mob sends an undercover hit man, plans were secret so there must be a leak finally stay alive and find the leak. It doesn’t get any more basic than that. A pretty standard set up and execution. Mark Wahlberg looked like he was having fun with the role. The action and comedy elements were just ok. However, this is not a very smart movie. The script was made in such a fashion that everything was telegraphed, and things happened simply for the point of the plot. For example, would the US Marshal with a very important witness really get into a plane without even knowing what the pilot looked like? Would she leave it up to the prisoner to secure the hitman? Stuff like that was clearly done to make the story go in a way they wanted. They need to be a little more creative with such a basic story. The direction felt dated which surprised me since Mel Gibson has proven to be pretty good over the years. You have seen this story before done much better. No real reason to watch this other than curiosity. You can skip this one. Please check out my podcast Mostly Low Budget Movies Reviews with Clarence for a full break down. On all streaming platforms. Link is in the bio. Thank you!"

"This reeks of "January stinker" miles away. Acting from the entire cast felt phoned in. The writing wasn't great, and neither were the action scenes. While I love a good, dumb action film, this one was too dumb for my own enjoyment. "

"Good graphics and Mark Wahlberg was creepy and had some good acting with not his usual roles. Wouldn’t say it was my favorite thriller 💥✈️"

"Alright, Flight Risk kept me watching, so I’ll give it that. The setup is solid—Madolyn Harris (Michelle Dockery), a serious U.S. Marshal, is stuck on a private flight with mob informant Winston (Topher Grace), and their pilot, Daryl Booth (Mark Wahlberg), is just a little too country, too talkative, too comfortable. Right away, you know something ain’t right with him. Wahlberg plays Daryl like a goofy hick who’s got a few screws loose but somehow stays one step ahead—except it never fully adds up. He’s cracking jokes, playing dumb, but then he’s pulling off stunts that don’t make sense. He breaks out of his handcuffs twice, and the movie just hand-waves it like, don’t worry about that, just go with it. The first time, maybe I buy it. Some country-boy survival trick, whatever. But the second time? Now you’re just messing with me. The movie wants him to be both a slick operator and a loose-cannon redneck, and the balance never quite lands."

"The female lead was amazing. "

"Mediocre at best "
