Entertaining But Takes Self Way Too Seriously, Needs Humor
21 March 2024
I laughed reading the wide spread of reviews here and totally get how people can love or hate this movie. For some reason Netflix really struggles to consistently make quality in-house feature movies.

This movie could have been so much better if humor and self-awareness were injected, it takes itself way too seriously. Now, that's fine if you have a tight script, strong character backstory, and believable/internally consistent storyline but this film doesn't. They should have taken a lesson from Robin Wright and added a couple doses of Princess Bride. Regardless, there is action and the story moves. Great airplane movie.

I hardly ever complain about this but the diversity in this film seems so forced and is borderline cringe. 2024 and Hollywood still seems to have not figured out how to incorporate diversity in a believable way.
