A couple flying on a small plane to attend a tropical island wedding must fight for their lives after their pilot suffers a heart attack.
Horizon Line is a lean survival thriller built on a well-worn premise — two people trapped in desperate circumstances must cooperate to survive — executed competently but without distinction. The plot is functional but paper-thin, leaning heavily on escalating crises rather than character development or narrative surprise. The acting from Allison Williams and Alexander Dreymon is adequate but rarely elevates the material. The aerial cinematography and use of the open-sky setting provide some visual tension and make decent use of its exotic locale, which is the film's strongest suit. However, the concept offers nothing audiences haven't seen before in survival thrillers, and the resolution feels predictable and convenient rather than earned. Overall a passable but forgettable genre exercise.
