Mel Gibson's directing career has faced challenges, not solely due to filmmaking skills. His latest project, 'Flight Risk', marks his return after nearly a decade. This thriller, starring Michelle Dockery and Mark Wahlberg, offers a lower-budget take on the plane-peril genre, akin to a simplified version of Con Air. While the film features a stripped-down approach, Wahlberg's over-the-top performance adds a unique flavor, making the film entertaining despite its lack of ambition compared to Gibson's earlier, more acclaimed works such as Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ.
Gibson's directorial return with Flight Risk showcases a diminished ambition, working within a B-movie scope yet remains entertaining with a grounded story and performances.
Despite personal controversies, Gibson demonstrates his ability to create engaging cinema, though this latest effort is distinctly less ambitious than his previous works.
