ℹ️We wish we could give a more positive review of this movie, starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Mel Gibson; however, it definitely wasn’t that good. There was some great acting by Wahlberg, but the rest of the cast wasn’t as impressive. Also, it seemed to drag on with little to engage the audience until the end. On a positive note, it is free of LGBTQ+ content.

For Parents:
If you’re wary of violence, crude language, or threatening sexual undertones, Flight Risk might not be a family pick.

Plot:
Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson, is an action thriller set aboard a small plane transporting a key witness to trial in New York. Mark Wahlberg plays the pilot, Winston, who seems affable but hides a darker agenda. Michelle Dockery is Madolyn, a Deputy U.S. Marshal tasked with escorting the witness, Harold (Topher Grace). As the flight progresses over remote Alaska, tensions rise, secrets unravel, and a deadly confrontation unfolds. The confined setting amplifies the suspense, though the film leans more on dialogue than action, with some comedic moments cutting through the turbulence.

Characters:
Winston (Mark Wahlberg): The pilot with a folksy charm that masks sinister motives. His role is pivotal, but his dialogue includes cringe-worthy lines that cement him as unlikable by the end. .
Madolyn (Michelle Dockery): A tough, brave federal marshal who tries to stick to protocol but falters due to incompetence. She’s not a damsel in distress, yet she’s no shining hero either.
Harold (Topher Grace): The witness under protection, caught in the crossfire. He’s less developed, serving as a plot device rather than a fully fleshed-out character.
