The 2025 action thriller has Wahlberg playing a pilot flying a US Marshal and a witness to safety.
The results have been mixed to say the least.
The actor really goes for a sinister performance at times and can be effective during his surprisingly limited screentime.
However, Wahlberg’s villain could have been a lot more terrifying ifFlight Riskshowed a scene that happened off-screen.
He’s not just a low-level criminal hired by the mob to take out Winston and Madolyn.
He’s a killer willing to go to extreme lengths.
It even suggests that Wahlberg’s character gets an element of enjoyment from killing people.
That could help make Wahlberg’s villain a lot scarier for audiences if the movie showed the scene.
It comes in a brief moment and is largely glossed over by Madolyn once she learns about his ways.
It also does not help thatFlight Risktells audiences about how terrifying Wahlberg’s character is rather than showing them.
The golden rule of movie making of “show, don’t tell” should have been applied here.
