Fight Or Flight
A mercenary (Josh Hartnett) takes on the job of tracking down a
target on a plane but must protect her when they're surrounded by people trying
to kill both of them. There is a lot of action and violence throughout the
course of the 97 minutes that the movie runs for. And it was phenomenal to
watch. It was choreographed nicely and executed equally nicely on the screen,
just heightening the overall enjoyment of watching the movie. Much like John
Wick, the action and violence is almost a constant throughout the entire movie.
Fight or Flight" is laced with some light comedy, which definitely helps to top
off the violence and action.
