Flight Risk directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, starts off a bit shaky but really picks up steam as it goes along. Some people have called it a bad movie, but I had a great time watching it! Wahlberg gives a strong performance, but the real standout for me was Topher Grace. He brings a refreshing energy to the film that kept me hooked. His sarcasm is a total riot given the situation.
The story may have a few cliché moments, but Gibson’s direction keeps things moving and exciting. As the plot unfolds, I found myself more invested in the characters and their journeys. It’s fun, fast-paced, and definitely worth a watch if you’re in the mood for a solid action thriller.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
