I was looking forward to seeing Mark Wahlberg as a villain in Flight Risk, but I'm disappointed with how the 2025 thriller actually used him.

Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he apologized to his Flight Risk co-stars for being “locked into” his villainous character on set.

"If we weren't shooting, I was like either off in the corner by myself, or I just would kind of go back to my little dressing room and just sit there."

Mark Wahlberg needed a lot of solo time on his latest movie set.

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

"Flight Risk" stars Mark Wahlberg as a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (played by "Downton Abbey" star Michelle Dockery) and a fugitive (Topher Grace) — but over the course of a very tense 90 minutes, it becomes clear that Wahlberg’s pilot has a deadly ulterior motive.

That's the tagline of "Flight Risk," starring Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg ("The Departed," "The Fighter") as a hitman posing as a pilot hired to transport an air marshal (Michelle Dockery) and a fugitive (Topher Grace) to a trial. "It's the first time I ...
