Review
In the niche sub-genre of over-the-top
action-comedy, Fight or Flight takes its place confidently
and plays out its silly story with quite a bit of playfulness and
creativity. Josh Hartnett stars as an invincible
John Wick-ian
professional killer who – due to plot-driven circumstances – finds
himself on a plane with an unidentified hacker named the Ghost
(Charithra Chandran) and dozens of contract killers looking to cash
in on her bounty. The ensuing altitudinal action extravaganza is
every bit as outrageous as you could have hoped (or feared).
Hartnett's performance is in many ways a follow-up to his work in M.
Night Shyamalan's Trap,
and it turns out he revels in these types of roles. His natural
charisma and obvious enjoyment rub off and give the character the
unassailability it requires. With slightly more professionalism, and
perhaps a better actress in the Ghost role, Fight or Flight
might even have soared to heights transcending its current status as
a fun curiosity.
