While there's a place for high-octane dumb fun, Flight Risk dives straight into unpleasant camp without a parachute.

Kat Sachs Chicago Reader 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 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 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 Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine It won’t win any awards for originality but Flight Risk is a fun, unpretentious, tight 91 minutes — especially if you’ve always jonesed to see Downton Abbey’s Lady Mary cream someone with a fire extinguisher. Rated: 3/5 Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Maxance Vincent FlickSided For a good chunk of [Flight Risk's] lean 91-minute runtime, no frame feels like Mel Gibson directed it, but rather a journeyman who kowtows to the studio’s demands with little to no personal flair behind the camera. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Awais Irfan The Hollywood News But the direction is bland and with a script that doesn’t offer much, Flight Risk is perhaps not the successful takeoff Mel Gibson was looking for. It’s a pretty disastrous crash landing. Rated: 2/5 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Cris Parker 3C Films (YouTube) Flight Risk is one of those film you watch and ask yourself “Who thought any of this was a good idea .” Rated: 4/10 Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Fun 90s Throwback feel Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Matthew I would watch it again but I hated that the ending came to a quick close. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review JP Didn’t care for the movie. Stalls at times, predictable and not a very good plot. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Derrick R Not enough action it’s ok Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Shane F Was a very good movie, acting was very good.
