Flight Risk
In “Snowblow” Alaska, Federal agents arrest a fugitive, Winston (Topher Grace), on the run. He was an accountant for a crime boss. He knows too much & had skimmed a little off the top. He plea bargains to turn states evidence. US Marshall Madelyn (Michelle Dockery) takes flight risk Winston into custody on a small plane piloted by Daryl Booth (Mark Wahlberg). Once in the air, the fun begins in this thriller. Madelyn realizes her situation has been compromised. A struggle breaks out in the cabin. Who can she trust? Will anyone survive this flight? Who can help her fly the plane? Will they be able to land safely? I️ noticed at least 3 critical mistakes by Madelyn but they were crucial plot points. Wahlberg was excellent stepping out of his usual comfort zone character portrayals. The film was intense balanced with humor in the cockpit. The wild action ramps up near the end.
Alien gives it 3 “1 million dollar bribe” stars out of 4.
