...a briskly-paced thriller that fares best within its opening and closing stretches...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 24, 2025

Flight Risk had potential, but early reveals and predictable characters lessen its overall impact.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 14, 2025

Mel Gibson’s sadistic bent as a filmmaker is well established by now, so it’s not surprising to see him drawn to this script. But beyond that, it’s hard to imagine what he thought he could bring to such a threadbare story.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 8, 2025

Wahlberg and Gibson have starred twice together (Daddy's Home 2 and Father Stu). There's a joke to be made here about Catholicism and paternal issues but laughing off anti-Semitism and violence against women doesn't seem so funny now, for some reason.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 5, 2025

If you're willing to go along with it in the spirit in which it was meant to be seen, you just might find that these quick 90 minutes offer a fair amount of amusement, entertainment, and even a thrill or two as it proceeds on its intentionally-campy ride.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 1, 2025

Mel Gibson's genre entry offers blast of airborne thrills, chills.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 24, 2025

Executive Decisions are made on Mel Gibson's Non-Stop airplane thriller with a Flightplan elevated by a shrewdly appealing Michelle Dockery and Mark Wahlberg as a strange, primordial goon - but there are no surprises in its Final Destination.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2025

Gibson and Rosenberg’s storytelling choices lead to predictable bursts of peril, e.g., tussles in the cabin that find Grace shouting “Don’t shoot him, we NEED him!” and anxiety-ridden moments where non-pilots are forced to be pilots.

...it is somewhat sad to witness the wasted potential of having a creator of [Mel Gibson's] caliber making low-budget, confined-space pieces like this present imitation of Con-Air... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2025

An unpretentious B series, which unabashedly bets on seamless entertainment, and with camp in the form of a killer toupee. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 26, 2025

It’s very early to make the call, but I would be shocked if [Flight Risk] wasn’t the worst studio film of 2025.

| Feb 17, 2025

The plot and runtime had me hoping it’d be a throwaway of the Edgar G. Ulmer variety, but alas, it’s kind of a mess, made worse by the Mark Wahlberg character’s indiscriminate sadism.

| Feb 13, 2025

A really cool idea, but the dialogue is terrible. I hate this script so much... There's a crassness that is really unnecessary.

| Feb 11, 2025

With its few twists telegraphed in advance, Flight Risk finds little room for surprises on its bumpy way to a rushed climax.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 11, 2025

Flight Risk relies on elements and interactions between [its] few characters to create suspense, and resorts to decadent ingenuity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 7, 2025

Gibson does action well – given enough space. Confining him to a crop duster is a sure shot to disaster. “Flight Risk” doesn’t fall in that category, necessarily, but it doesn’t exactly make you want to dispense with safety rules.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 6, 2025

An action adventure movie that delivers the thrills

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 6, 2025

...a story that sustains the tension throughout with genuine resources, above all with that bloody vitality so characteristic of Gibson's cinema.[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2025

“Flight Risk” is not the best film that madman Gibson has ever made, but it is an absurdly entertaining experience, full of moments of tension and delightfully exaggerated performances. [Full review in Spanish].

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2025

Gibson maintains his own style and, without seeking grandiosity, offers a story of action, tension and faith in equal measure.[Full review in Spanish]
