- Jason Tyree13 april 2026Fun movie. would recommend.
- PatrikStar13 februari 2025Bullet Plane in economy class
- theicephoenix18 maj 2025This movie is absolutely ridiculous, and I loved every second of it. It’s like someone fed an action movie script into a blender with a comic book and a six-pack of energy drinks. Josh Hartnett is out here having the time of his life, and honestly, so was I. The action? Bloody, over-the-top, and gloriously absurd. The jokes? Surprisingly on point, I actually laughed with the movie, not just at it. Sure, the script is full of clichés and you can see the twists coming from a mile away, but let’s be real: nobody came here for Shakespeare. I’m fully on board for a sequel. Bring on the chaos, just maybe add more explosions and snacks next time.
- stuhannaford9 februari 2026Surprisingly fun throughout. A good balance of humour and action, and a lead in to a potential follow up. Hartnett brings an almost sarcastic physicality to the role, which works really well from start to finish, but the scene stealer is Ashok in the earlier parts of the movie. It does feel like it tails off a little towards the end, but on the whole, it's certainly an enjoyable thrill ride in the sky. Clear inspiration from Bullet Train, but more than enough to stand on its own, rather than feel like a cheap knockoff. A little bit of a hidden gem, and worth a watch.
- Alex | Pop Culture Brain9 maj 2025This movie is absolutely insane And to think I wasn’t going to see it at all I saw Fight or Flight So here’s the good and the bad without spoilers I’ve seen a lot of action movies this year Love Hurts, Novocaine, The Amateur, The Accountant 2, Havoc And finally something actually surprised me Fight or Flight, directed by James Madigan, starring Josh Hartnett The basic premise is Josh Hartnett is an ex secret agent and he has to detain a mysterious wanted hacker on a plane But of course shit goes awry and he has to punch his way out of it This could have been another John Wick or The Raid rip off But Madigan is after something more fun and silly, crafting some truly wild and very bloody action scenes in this tight space This movie had some really crazy kills that I was not expecting But throughout it has an excellent sense of humor and peppers in the right amount of silliness and excess Hartnett is great at nailing this tone, you could tell he had fun making this wild movie But I’ll also credit Brooks McLaren and D.J. Cotrona’s quick and twisty script, that doesn’t bogged down with clunky exposition or unearned melodrama And hats off to their punk rock ending that leaves you wanting more Now that said, I thought some of the 2nd act complications felt really forced And I was confused at times by how many bystanders there were on the plane And the layout of the plane’s various spaces. The filmmaking didn’t build a cohesive map of the place in my mind. Also there was some over the top, cartoony sound design This movie is currently flying under the radar, I doubt most people have even heard of it But if you love a truly fun action movie, definitely seek it out
- jackmeat15 november 2025My quick rating – 6.6/10. Fight or Flight is one of those movies where I saw the trailer while tossing it into my weekly “upcoming movies” slider and thought, “Yeah, that looks like it’ll scratch the itch.” And sure enough, it does. The setup is simple with Lucas (Josh Hartnett), a mercenary with the sort of résumé that definitely comes with hazard pay, taking on what should be a straightforward job. Track down a target on a plane. But when said target becomes the center of a murderous free-for-all at 30,000 feet, Lucas suddenly becomes the unwilling guardian of a person everyone else on board is trying to kill. Naturally, chaos follows. Brooks McLaren and D. J. Cotrona put together an enjoyable storyline—nothing groundbreaking, but solid enough to give the frenzy some shape. The plot twists are predictable, and the themes aren’t exactly deep, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. This isn’t a film pretending to be more than it is. It knows it’s here to deliver punches, quips, and blood spray, and it does so proudly. Because most of the film’s action stays confined to the plane, the movie leans hard into frantic brawls, hand-to-hand chaos, and “grab whatever’s within arm’s reach and hit someone with it” fight choreography. That approach works far better than it has any right to. The action is consistently energetic, sometimes outright hilarious, and always inventive. And when a few idiots decide it’s smart to pull out guns inside a pressurized metal tube, things escalate in the kind of over-the-top fashion that made the '90s action era so fun. Someone even finds a chainsaw in the cargo hold—because why not? I won’t lie. The second that thing revved up, I knew director James Madigan understood the assignment. Madigan doesn’t shy away from bloodshed either. The film isn’t a gorefest, but it absolutely doesn’t skimp. Between the messy kills, the frantic melees, and a surprising amount of creativity in how bodies hit walls, seats, and occasionally in the luggage bin, it delivers exactly what a movie like this should. The action set pieces are excellently choreographed, fast but readable, and they keep the momentum high. The pacing is another strong point. No long stretches of dead air, no tedious detours. It moves quickly and confidently from one skirmish to the next. Josh Hartnett is clearly having a blast, and his chemistry with Charithra Chandran brings some unexpected warmth to the carnage. Their connection gives the film a little emotional glue without slowing things down. When a movie features both chainsaw duels and surprisingly sweet character moments, you know it’s aiming for “fun first, logic second,” and it lands right where it should. Fight or Flight is silly, stylish, packed with energy, and built for audiences who just want a good time. It’s absolutely set up for a sequel, and I’m sure it’s coming. For an over-the-top airborne assassination extravaganza, this one delivers.
- gibbens13 augusti 2025This was a lot of fun. Nothing new but a lot of fun.
- shivs21 januari 2026Definitely worth the watch, highly enjoyable
- ruckstande1 december 2025Goofy, silly fun. Josh Hartnet is great.
- Eddie Willis-Blunt4 juli 2025Way better than I thought. Maybe they'll make a sequel
- Scott Smith10 november 2025A fun fast-action comedy-action-drama that is very familiar to Brad Pitt's "Bullet Train". Hartnett is good in this, and it was a fun watch. A good popcorn movie with a ton of martial arts and fighting throughout.
- Nirupam12 maj 2025a lot of thoughts rumbling in my brain about blonde josh hartnett but none of them really appropriate for plex if you get my gist.
- ayayron19 april 2025Either every TSA agent went on strike that week or else it clearly takes place in a pre 9/11 world
- runinhot27 september 2025Not Bullet Train, Bullet Plane
- Jared O'Neal2 september 2025Very fun Bullet Train vibes
