Mark Wahlberg Performs Balding, Psychotic Killer

The skies are heaps a lot much less nice to fly with a balding, unhinged Mark Wahlberg inside the pilot seat.

That’s the takeaway from the model new trailer for “Flight Hazard,” a thriller from Mel Gibson, who’s exchanging the battlefields of Scotland (“Braveheart”) and the Pacific Theater (“Hacksaw Ridge”) for an in-flight face-off between Wahlberg’s psycho killer and Michelle Dockery’s FBI agent. She’s been tasked with escorting a authorities witness (Topher Grace) to trial; He’s obtained a contract to shoot the turncoat sooner than he can sing. The two collide on a small airplane that’s charting a course over the Alaskan wilderness.

Wahlberg is clearly having the time of his life as a result of the follically challenged hitman, which is a departure from his typical heroic roles. Dockery, most interesting recognized for her greater crust activate “Downton Abbey,” may also be having fun with in the direction of type. Lionsgate is releasing the movie on Jan. 24.  “Flight Hazard” was written by Jared Rosenberg. 

Wahlberg and Gibson simply currently collaborated on “Father Stu,” a faith-based drama that hit theaters in 2022. Gibson, whose A-list career was derailed by a sequence of off-screen controversies, hasn’t directed a film since 2016’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” which earned him an Oscar nomination. He beforehand obtained an Academy Award for “Braveheart” and as well as oversaw “Apocalypto” and “The Passion of the Christ.” He’s planning to make a follow-up to the non secular epic.

Wahlberg was closing seen in Netflix’s “The Union,” a spy comedy that co-starred Halle Berry. Dockery appeared in “Proper right here” alongside Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. And Grace appeared inside the well-received horror film, “Heretic.”
