FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Fasten your seat belts and sit back but don’t relax as this high-altitude fight-fest takes off. When mercenary Lucas Reyes (Josh Harnett) is assigned to capture a fugitive known as The Ghost during a commercial flight, he unknowingly steps into a deadly game of survival. There’s a $10 million bounty on The Ghost’s head, plus a hitman contract out to eliminate him. Reyes must slice, dice, and ice dozens of assassins, while trying to keep The Ghost alive. He’s a reluctant hero, struggling with addiction issues and his past transgressions. It’s a humorous and violent ride that’s not for the squeamish (chainsaw, anyone?), with lots of blood spilled and multiple people dying in innovative ways. Harnett sure can move at 47 years old! Unfortunately the plot is shaky and hits frequent turbulence, with nonsensical elements that try to be too tricky. If you can ignore these you’ll be entertained by this ‘Bullet Train’ on a plane.
