Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort. The film is titled “Flight Risk” and, despite some flaws, is a brisk, sometimes clever thriller that features a strong performance from Michelle Dockery as a federal marshal tasked with bringing an uncooperative witness named Winston (Topher Grace) from Alaska to New York to testify against a brutal mob boss. Trouble is, the pilot of their little puddle jumper is actually a sadistic assassin tasked with killing Winston for said mob boss. The assassin “Daryl” is played by Mark Wahlberg, chewing scenery and sporting a truly impressive bald pate. The film isn’t perfect, but Gibson brings a streamlined energy to the proceedings that make “Flight Risk” an entertaining watch!
