A mercenary takes on the job of tracking down a target on a plane but must protect that target when they're surrounded by people trying to kill both of them.
Fight or Flight is a fairly by-the-numbers action-comedy thriller that leans on familiar confined-space chase and protection tropes — think 'Snakes on a Plane' meets generic mercenary fare. The plot is functional but recycled, offering little narrative surprise beyond its setup. Acting appears competent enough to carry the comedic and action beats without standing out. Cinematography in a largely plane-set action film tends toward the serviceable rather than the inspired. Novelty is low given the well-worn 'enemies become allies in a claustrophobic setting' premise with no distinctive voice or craft signature. The ending likely resolves predictably within genre expectations.
