Flight Risk (2025) review

Mob accountant Winston (Topher Grace) is trying to hide out in a motel in Alaska when U.S. Marshal Madolyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) and her team track him down and arrange for him to be flown to Anchorage to act as a witness in a trial against his former employer, but once they board a small commuter plane the "pilot" (Mark Wahlberg, with an ... interesting haircut) is actually a killer.  Encouraging Wahlberg to cheese it up as a mouth breathing, foul-talkin' yokel is not the wisest decision any filmmaker could make, except the ironic part is that whenever he's not saying filthy things to Dockery's character and barely conscious, this junky little genre flick is quite humdrum, since neither Winston or Harris are the most engaging characters and the bulk of the movie is confined to the inside of the rickety aircraft.  Years ago, director Gibson was placed in a "time out" due to his "personal behavior" and has slowly come back, and because he was recently appointed "Special Ambassador to Hollywood" by Emperor #47, that might indicate there's more white Christian nationalist propaganda on its way.  I imagine Goebbels is clapping from the deepest circle in Hell.
