Fight or Flight is a high-energy action-comedy directed by James Madigan, set almost entirely on a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. Josh Hartnett stars as Lucas Reyes, an exiled agent tasked with identifying a mysterious figure known as The Ghost, all while battling a plane full of assassins. The film thrives on chaotic, cartoonish violence and fast-paced action, with Hartnett delivering a dry, confident performance. The supporting cast, including Charithra Chandran and Katee Sackhoff, adds strength to the film, although the relentless pace leaves little room for character development.
While entertaining, Fight or Flight struggles with a weak plot and repetitive fight scenes that occasionally drag out the runtime. Although the film is filled with high-concept B-movie fun and sharp comic moments, it treads familiar ground and lacks the depth needed to leave a lasting impression. Despite its flaws, the commitment to fast-paced chaos and Hartnett's engaging presence make it an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre.
