Critics Consensus

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

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.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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

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

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

Radio Times

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

Rated: 2/5

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