Okay, 2025 thriller Flight Risk<\/strong><\/em> doesn\u2019t exactly follow the traditional formula. Although, Mel Gibson plays it safe with this one. A small criminal turns on the crime boss he works for. He is collected and transported via a Cessna type airplane. Their pilot turns out to be an assassin hired by said crime boss; hi-jinks ensue.<\/p>\n This is one I went into with mixed feelings. I really wanted to like it. A capable cast and what looked like an interesting trailer led me to believe this was something different. <\/p>\n It was, and it wasn\u2019t. Gibson played it safe-ish but despite this, it was entertaining. Flight Risk<\/strong><\/em> is not high end cinema though and I did enjoy parts of the film immensely.<\/p>\n A US Marshal tracks down a money man for the mob. He is off grid and she must transport him via small plane back to court. The pilot turns out to be a real problem.<\/p>\n Michelle Dockery<\/a> is Madolyn. <\/p>\n Mark Wahlberg<\/a> is Daryl. <\/p>\n Topher Grace<\/a> is Winston.<\/p>\n Leah Remini<\/a> is Van Sant.<\/p>\n Maaz Ali<\/a>. is Hassan.<\/p>\n Paul Ben-Victor<\/a> is Coleridge.<\/p>\n The above mentioned actors, aka secondary cast, make Flight Risk<\/strong><\/em> work with no visible presence. Remini, Ali; especially Ali, and Ben-Victor round out this story via their voice acting. Kudos to all three of them. <\/p>\n Mel Gibson<\/a> directs the screenplay written by Jared Rosenberg<\/a>. Johnny Derango<\/a> as DP works well with both Gibson and editor Steven Rosenblum<\/a>. Stunt Coordinator David Barrett<\/a> gives us fight scenes that make us wince; with imagined pain.<\/p>\n Flight Risk <\/em><\/strong> is somewhat believable. It is, however, a huge stretch to say it is really believable. However, once we look past the obvious problems of reality, the film moves into entertainment territory. <\/p>\n The performances work well. In terms of supporting this weird little tale of law and order vs the mob, everyone steps up smartly. <\/p>\n Topher Grace does what he does best, playing a Topher Grace character. He wimps out in the right places, steps up when needed and does a good death scene.<\/p>\n Michelle Dockery, still gives good American accent. Sure it is a tad tight but what is that among friends. <\/p>\nThe Story<\/h4>\n
