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.
