Simple and efficient thriller. - Flight Risk review by LW
An FBI agent and a witness end up in a plane over the Alaskan wilderness with a pilot they don't trust and uncertain if their allies on the ground. Everything proceeds efficiently, Wahlberg is effectively unpleasant and there are enough twists and turns about who on the ground can be trusted. At less than 90 minutes this is simple thriller doesn't outstay its welcome or try and drag out the simple premise either.

Viewer risk - Flight Risk review by Alphaville
Lo-budget single-set 80-minute three-hander. Apart from the first and last minutes, the complete set is the interior of a small plane that contains a cop, a crime witness and a baddie. Mark Wahlberg as the baddie is an OTT pain. Touted as a suspense thriller, it’s undermined by supposedly wise-cracking dialogue that makes it all seem ridiculous and unbelievable. Cgi shots of the plane over Alaskan mountains do little to open the film up and the set-up soon runs out of steam. Given set restrictions, the plot simply has nowhere to go. Hence time-filling devices such as backstory character monologues and phone conversations with off-screen characters. You’ll soon give up caring.

Silly But Entertaining Suspense Thriller - Flight Risk review by GI
A diverting, entertaining albeit silly and very unrealistic suspense thriller directed by Mel Gibson. The plot is set mostly on board a rickety small prop plane and consequently it becomes limited in what it can do and although Mark Wahlberg is advertised as the lead he actually plays second fiddle to Michelle Dockery. She plays Madolyn, a US Marshall with a chequered history, who is escorting Mob accountant Winston (Topher Grace) who has been in hiding out in Alaska and has agreed to be a witness against the mafia. They have to travel across the wilderness in this small prop plane piloted by Daryl (Wahlberg). En route the various characters have conflicted roles in the narrative and there are twists and turns as Madolyn is desperate to get her man into custody safely. The limitations of the action taking place in this small plane eventually become a little too difficult to maintain the tension as Madolyn ends having to pilot the plane and much of the plot is unwound via telephone conversations. Wahlberg plays against type and is doing a sort of Jack Nicholson impression. But the three actors manage to keep this entertaining although there are some very obvious daft scenarios. But as a piece of forgettable entertainment this does the trick quite well.
