I’m undecided if it may be thought of a subgenre, however I really like an airplane film. Trapping your characters 30,000 ft within the air inherently brings a lot pressure as there’s no escape. No less than not one which gained’t lead to a sticky touchdown. However in addition they must cope with the minimal house and fundamental air journey guidelines (don’t shoot the fuselage!), so it may be fairly confining. That’s why I favor my airplane films to go the over-the-top route, going extra for enjoyable versus realism. And, as you’ll be able to inform by my assessment for Combat or Flight, this was my form of movie.
I sat down with the solid and director of Combat or Flight to debate their motion movie, and it was a delight. Regardless of us not seeing it within the movie, Josh Hartnett will get into how a lot of his character’s background he labored out. Katee Sackhoff (who I’m certain to get in some Battlestar Galactica reward) explains why her character is a lot extra attention-grabbing than these sorts normally are. Charithra Chandran tells us the second within the script that received her to signal on (it could or could not have been one of many movie’s large twists). Director James Madigan talks in regards to the unbroken motion and the way it was solely doable as a result of Hartnett took the battle choreography so properly. Just like the movie, this was an brisk interview you don’t wish to miss!
Combat or Flight plot:
Exiled American agent Lucas Reyes (Josh Hartnett) is given one final probability to redeem himself – the project is to trace down and determine a mysterious, worldwide high-value asset identified solely as The Ghost on a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. Complicating issues, the airplane is stuffed with assassins from all over the world who’re assigned to kill them each. The pair should work collectively in a battle for his or her lives. At 37,000 ft, the stakes have by no means been larger.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT IS PLAYING IN THEATERS ON MAY 9TH, 2025.
