Seattle Times

Despite its flaws, “Flight/Risk” is a comprehensive and stinging critique of a once-proud company that has lost its way and is struggling to make a comeback. And it’s a tribute to the people who died and the families who mourn them.

Rated: 3.5/4

Ready Steady Cut

We did not expect Flight/Risk to play out as a suspenseful political thriller that smartly presents legal arguments, entanglements, and political views as they are, with archival footage and live recreation of the hearings.

Rated: 4/5

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

In short, avoid Flight/Risk and watch instead Downfall, another 737 Max doc. It at least mentions the stock buybacks...

Most moving of all are the stories of personal loss and the dogged pursuit for fair compensation, a fight that raised the obnoxious idea that skin colour and nationality could be factors in pay outs.

Rated: 3/5

Cinemalogue

There’s not much new insight for those familiar with the story, especially in a broader context, but it’s carefully researched and assembled.

The film is about the erosion of public trust in institutions of and within capitalism.

Giant companies using political power and money to avoid criminal responsibility and accountability.... who would have thought? Despite the predictable nature of the topic, it delivers strongly and we can only imagine what we would do to those execs if it happened to us.

I am a documentary junkie, on every topic from Antarctica yo UFO's and this is quite possibly the most powerful one I've ever watched. I've never reviewed a doc, show, or movie in my life but, that's what an impact Flight Risk made on me. Since watching it, I took a deep dive into the 737 max, reading everything I can find. Fascinating, compelling, heartbreaking, frustrating, striking.

It was shallow, predictable, and poorly acted. Don't waste your time.

Predatory Capitalism. Crony Capitalism. Everything that's bad about Capitalism. Boeing suffers from it all. This doc nails the problems associated with the 737Max disasters and Boeing's horrifying response. The fuse for these disasters was lit on August 1, 1997, when Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas. On that day Boeing stopped being one of the best engineering companies ever, and started on the path to being a money hungry, take no prisoners Wall Street juggernaut. This doc tells that story and more. Highly recommend!
