Flight Risk Is Not the Right Kind of Dumb
This gimmicky thriller, directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, starts falling apart almost as soon as it gets started.
Mark Wahlberg is calling his character in Flight Risk the first bad guy he’s played since Fear, that memorable 1996 cult classic in which he fingerbanged a babyfaced Reese Witherspoon on a rollercoaster before stalking and menacing her family. He’s actually a killer passing himself off as the charter pilot hired to fly US Marshall Madelyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) and her prisoner, mob accountant turned informant Winston (Topher Grace), over the Alaskan Alps to Anchorage. Flight Risk manages to waste the gifts of Mel Gibson, who, all anti-Semitism, homophobia, racism, beliefs in the cancer-curing powers of Ivermectin, and other personal toxicities aside, is an all-time great director of violence.
