From starring in the Transformers franchise for quite a while to portraying dad roles in comedy films, Wahlberg has indeed come a long way, but this time, things could be very different!
Mark Wahlberg And Mel Gibson Join Hands For Flight Risk
Getting scratches on the neck comes as an occupational hazard for Mark Wahlberg’s character in the upcoming movie, but things aren’t what they seem to be.

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).
