Hello friends, good vibes to all.
It had been a while since I got a movie with these characteristics, one of those that instead of being an action and suspense film, as it is supposed to be, it turns out that we are facing a film with a high load of comic and crude moments that at the end it seems that we were watching a parody of itself. I like to watch random movies and this one was perfect because it is directed by Mel Gibson and stars Mark Wahlberg, clearly two ultra well-known names in the world of cinema. I really didn't know what I was going to find, its synopsis is very common and cliché but I still gave it a chance just because of the couple of names involved.
Basically we have three protagonists in the whole movie, that's all. A pilot (Mark Wahlberg) who is in charge of transporting a U.S. Marshal (Michelle Dockery) and a protected witness (Topher Grace) who plans to testify against a mob in a trial in New York. It turns out that they leave Alaska, since this witness was fleeing from justice and it is in that place where he was hiding, in order to arrive on time to the trial. As they fly over the snowy mountains of Alaska, the situation begins to twist a little and not everyone in the plane is who they say they are.
When I was about 10 minutes into the film I began to notice certain inconsistencies in the way they were approaching the situation, I am no expert on the subject but I think they made a couple of mistakes that threw me off a little. This is terrible for me because one is already conditioned and predisposed for the rest of the film and the cynical and mocking personality inside me appears and I start to criticize everything. The plot is intended to be a kind of aerial thriller which makes everything more risky and tense because there is simply no escape, I repeat, that is the initial intention. Instead, what do we have? - An imitation of what a thriller is. In the end it's all a series of unfortunate events.
The entire plot takes place in the plane, so all the action scenes are reduced to a few meters of maneuvering, this in order to increase the need for urgency and overwhelm in the viewer. Obviously we are not facing big fights or struggles, only those necessary to give more depth to the story. The film is boring? - A little but because I'm sure you know what is going to happen at the end, there is only one plot twist that you might not expect but from then on everything is extremely linear and without detours. I think it's a film that for a Mel Gibson directed film is a tremendous failure, I think it's the proof that good films don't always come out of the hat even though The Passion of the Christ is his.
I give it a 5/10. It can be seen in moments of extreme boredom but it is true that I expected something with much more substance having in the lineup such important names in the industry. It lasts an hour and a half, positive point. I leave the trailer here.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people, that's all for today, I hope you liked it.

Watched this movie just two days back and really enjoyed it!
It's not bad but I wasn't completely convinced.
Es una película más que todo entretenida, Pero que no.sburre incluso con sus fallas. Sirve para pasar el fin de semana
Correcto, es mero entretenimiento para cuando no hay más nada que ver.
