The movie you're making us watch today is Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace. Despite the star power, this action thriller stumbles at nearly every turn. The plot, which centers on a high-stakes flight with a fugitive, feels like a tired mix of clichés, and the performances, while competent, can't save it from its unconvincing dialogue and predictable twists. Gibson’s direction does little to elevate the material—why does a film with such a promising premise feel so flat? What happened to the tension we were promised? Join us as we dissect the film’s many missed opportunities, from underwhelming action sequences to a story that never quite takes off.
