Reviews

Flight Risk has received generally mixed to negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low score of 30%, with the consensus pointing to a promising premise undermined by a clichéd screenplay and uneven pacing. One reviewer noted, "While Mark Wahlberg offers a grounded and relatable performance, the film struggles to maintain tension beyond its initial sequences." IMDb users rate the movie at 5.2/10, reflecting divided audience reactions; many praised the action scenes but criticized the character development and plot predictability. Metacritic's score of 38/100 highlights similar sentiments, averaging reviews that cite "a lack of originality" and "missed opportunities in storytelling." Despite these critiques, some reviewers did commend the cinematography and Wahlberg’s effort to bring nuance to his role. Overall, Flight Risk is seen as an adequate but forgettable addition to the action thriller genre.
