The trailer starts with a U.S. marshall getting chained in an airplane with Wahlberg portraying the role of the pilot. However, Michelle Dockerey’s character notices what appears to be a bullet hole on Wahlberg’s right arm.

Guns drawn, knives pulled, it turns out that Wahlberg’s character is not what he pretended to be. The film quickly turns into a thriller escape situation at 10,000 feet in the air and the stakes are as high as can be. Check out the trailer below:

With Mel Gibson attached as director, the hype is real. Having starred in the Mad Max franchise during its inception and going on to direct films like Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ, Gibson is the apt man for the job.

Being a thriller film about getting stuck in an airplane with a hit-man pilot and a witness, the film takes a nosedive (like the plane) into what can only be described as a thriller/escape plot with nowhere to run (or fly).

Fans Are Loving Mark Wahlberg In This New Role!

Well, Wahlberg is presently associated with dad roles since the actor starred in movies like Arthur The King and The Family Plan in recent years. Well, this new look of Wahlberg has gotten fans excited and riled up!
