“He’s not going anywhere…”
Flight Risk released in theaters on January 24th 2025. The action thriller film stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty minutes.
A US Marshal boards a flight to transport a key witness to a trial, but they soon learn that not everyone onboard is who they claim to be, risking all of their lives while flying above the Alaskan wilderness.
Here is the trailer:
Flight Risk has a recognizable cast with a decent enough premise for an adrenaline-filled thriller, but is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:

Fun cast.
I was excited about this cast (even though it was a small one) and was really looking forward to the dynamic between them while tensions built. Mark Wahlberg was over-the-top and insane, but he was probably the only redeeming part of this movie.
Everyone else played their role well enough…although I didn’t really connect with Topher Grace’s awkward humor the way I usually do.
The pros stop here though…
The Cons:

Not thrilling at all with terrible dialogue.
Look, I typically love most thrillers and was really hoping for an intense ride here, but this film was SEVERELY lacking in this department. The dialogue was ATROCIOUS and the plot was awful. I didn’t connect with anything in this film and I kept looking at the time, praying for it to be over.
Takes itself way too seriously.
I really thought I was watching a spoof movie of an action thriller at first…it was that absurd and silly. There were several moments that were supposed to be moving or intense and I burst out laughing. I didn’t expect this movie to be great, but I didn’t realize it would be this awful.
So am I in or out?

I’m out on this one…
Flight Risk is neither thrilling nor entertaining with a cheesy plot and cringe-worthy dialogue.
I was really disappointed with this one.

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…
When sisters, Nina and Gemma are vacationing in Hawaii with their friends, they get invited to an exclusive party on a private island that seems too good to be true. There’s only one rule…they can’t miss their ferry at midnight or they’ll have to wait until morning to leave the island. Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.
Who will make it off the island alive?
I hope you enjoy my island thriller!
