Kevin says FIGHT OR FLIGHT kinda rocks!
After a comeback with the movie TRAP, Josh Hartnett flies into an action film.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT tells the story of a burned government agent lured back to the job to find an elusive hacker on an international flight. The only problem is that dozens of hit men are also on the flight trying to kill both of them.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT takes up the challenge of having a massive, multi-layered brawl happen in the toughest of conditions. Most of the film takes place on the plane, resulting in some creative and high-octane sequences, often with hilarious results.
Whether its firearms, martial arts experts, or chainsaws, the things that made it on this plane are unbelievable, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t fun to watch.
The overall story is full of clichés and is as predictable as a Harlem Globetrotters game, but it makes things work with a committed cast and its tongue firmly in cheek. This is what BULLET TRAIN could have been if it had pared down its bloated running time.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT gets three and a half bags of peanuts out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
