Flight Risk
A pilot transports a U.S. Marshal accompanying a government witness to a trial in New York. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.

The film dips significantly during the convoluted corruption reveals around the midpoint, then surges strongly in the final act as the action intensifies.
Flight Risk delivers solid B-movie entertainment with strong opening setup and increasingly tense final act action sequences. The middle section suffers from plot holes and dialogue issues, but Wahlberg's committed villainous performance and the claustrophobic cockpit setting help maintain engagement. Critics appreciated it as unpretentious popcorn fare that succeeds within its modest ambitions.
