Haven’t we suffered enough? Beyond all the chaos happening right now in the political sphere, there’s a new Mel Gibson movie in cinemas. Yes, the relentlessly hateful Mel Gibson, the once-celebrated Hollywood legend (and two-time Oscar winner),

Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson have teamed up for an action movie, but critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes are extremely divided about its quality.

Wahlberg plays a pilot flying a federal agent (Michelle Dockery) and a fugitive (Topher Grace) across Alaska in the thrilling flick. Wahlberg and his wife Durham, who tied the knot in 2009, share four kids: Ella, 20, Michael, 18, Brendan, 15 and Grace, 14, who all found their dad’s new do rather funny.

Critics lambasted it and audiences didn’t grade it much better. But despite the turbulence, Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk” managed to open No. 1 at the box office with a modest $12 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

After watching Mel Gibson's latest movie, Flight Risk, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace, it makes sense why Lionsgate moved it to a January 2025 release.

"Flight Risk"—director Mel Gibson’s new action thriller starring Mark Wahlberg—is targeting a No. 1 debut at the weekend box office.

Mark Wahlberg takes on his first villain role in nearly 3 decades as an unhinged pilot in Mel Gibson's high-stakes action thriller Flight Risk.

Critics lambasted it and audiences didn't grade it much better. But despite the turbulence, Mel Gibson's 'Flight Risk' managed to open No. 1 at the box office.

New in theaters, Flight Risk marks Gibson’s first turn as a director since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge, which earned Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Directing for Gibson and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield. As such, Wahlberg knew going into the film that he was in great hands before the action thriller took flight.

Despite the interesting premise, the unrelatable cast and insubstantial plot left the film to nose-dive into boredom.
