A pilot transports an Air Marshal accompanying a fugitive to trial.
There are a couple things that excited me about this movie.
Mark Wahlberg playing a villain again.
This guy can cut a rug if you give him the right character!
Just look at his early career if you think I’m wrong.
Mel Gibson is a GOOD director.
‘Braveheart’, ‘The Passion of the Christ’, ‘Apocalypto’, ‘Hacksaw Ridge’.
This guy is capable of making some really good movies behind the camera.
After watching the movie, I can confidently say that Mark lived up to his end of the bargain.
Mel Gibson did not.
As always, here is the pro and con list.
PROS:
- Mark Wahlberg is a great villain.
Sinister and also funny in a scary way.
- The humor moments are really funny inSOMEmoments.
CONS:
- Like I mentioned, Wahlberg was great.
The movie also needed about 200% more of him and way less Topher Grace/Michelle Dockery.
- The editing on this movie isatrocious.
The biggest issue was the lack of continuity.
- On top of editing, the general post production CGI stuff was not great.
Cut to a struggle, then back to the windshield where you are somehow further away from impact.
- There was just too much shit going on.
This movie could have been as simple as “we are stuck on an airplane with a murderer”.
Instead, there needs to be like 5 sub plots going on at the same time.
Overall, this isnota good movie.
I will say that, regardless of it being bad, it was fun to watch with the boys.
Klemmer, Owen and I were hootin and hollering the whole way.
We practically got up and saluted when Marky hit the ‘Y’ALL NEED A PILOT’ line.
