Mark Wahlberg stars in the action-thriller, which marks the first film Gibson has directed in nearly a decade.

Lionsgate's advertising campaign for "Flight Risk" credits its latest film to "the award-winning director of ‘Braveheart,' ‘Apocalypto' and ‘Hacksaw Ridge'," which seems a circumspect way of recognizing Mel Gibson as its helmer.

Ninety minutes in a confined space with Wahlberg screaming threats of sexual violence? Hard pass It’s weird to find an animal outside of its natural habitat. A penguin floating around the International Space Station instead of waddling through the Antarctic.
