Mel Gibson clearly brought energy to the "Flight Risk" set as director ... emanating the intensity of his iconic character William Wallace in a promo pushing his newest film -- face paint and all.

Mel Gibson challenges himself to just make a normal potboiler with the Hitchcockian premise of Flight Risk. He's not up to it.

Director Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg, is new in theaters. Does the airplane thriller have a smooth or bumpy landing with critics?

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.

Ninety minutes in a confined space with Wahlberg screaming threats of sexual violence? Hard pass It’s weird to find an animal outside of its natural habitat. A penguin floating around the International Space Station instead of waddling through the Antarctic.

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.

On a quiet weekend, even for the typically frigid movie-going month of January, the top spot went to the Lionsgate thriller starring Mark Wahlberg.

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.

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.

The premise is simple: Michelle Dockery plays U.S. Marshal Madolyn, tasked with transporting wiseass accountant Winston (Topher Grace) on a prop plane from Alaska to Seattle. Daryl (Mark Wahlberg), their shady pilot, is secretly working for the bad guys and tasked with killing Winston before he can testify. That’s it. That’s the setup.
