Horizon Line
Sara & Jackson are a former couple who awkwardly meet up again for a friend’s island wedding & end up passengers on a small plane. When their pilot suffers a major heart attack mid-flight, this mini-disaster thriller spins laughably out of control. Neither knows much about flying a plane, the GPS breaks, radio communication is spotty, the compass breaks, they head into a threatening storm, & they are running out of fuel. With each new problem, these two manage to come up with a solution, no matter how absurd. Climbing outside of a flying plane to fix a problem seems just so ridiculous. So why do this twice. It seems like the writers were trying to pack in as many aeronautical problems as possible. The only reason to continue watching this film would be to see how much sillier the situation could get. Will this couple be able to land safely or will they have to ditch at sea?
Alien gives it 1½ “mayday, mayday” stars out of 4.
