“Threat in the air”, critic: Mel Gibson shows you that you cannot land the plane

Mel Gibson Return to cinemas with The threat in the air Nine years after the great ManThe field on this occasion, he returns to the thriller installed in the present to offer a chloroprobial story inside the aircraft. Next to him he has a new face of the first level as Mark WalbergTo whom do they join Michelle dockeri (Downton Abbey) And Tooper Grace (Spider-Man 3IN Interstellar) At 69, the director firmly intends to demonstrate that he is still one of the greatest Hollywood.

Plot The threat in the air The general general takes Madolin (Dockers) to take an important witness (Grace), guarded on an airplane. This man WinstonHe will testify against the mafia for which he worked. Meanwhile, the pilot of the aircraft (Wahlberg) should take them healthy and saved through huge mountains of Alaska. But in full flight, tension shoots, since not everything on board is the one who seems to be. And at an altitude of 3000 meters there are no possibilities.

Claustrophobic film

The most interesting prerequisite The threat in the air This is in the face of blockbusters, to which he is used to Mel GibsonThis time moves the entire film to one space. With the exception of the first minutes of the launch, the entire film occurs inside the aircraft. This allows the director to be very leading to the thought of kinematographic exercises, although it should be recognized that not too figuratively.

It is true that when we find ourselves in such a small space with three characters and with the dismissal of tension, The threat in the air This conveys what was looking for a feeling of claustrophobia. Whatever happens, there is no escape. And when you are locked with a monster in these circumstances, nervousness captures the main characters and the public itself. But this surprises, besides this, Gibson I can’t offer a particularly attractive direction for such a leading story.

The director is limited by the basic pictures of the camera and the standard Telefilme lighting. There are no traces of this director who can get a nomination after the nomination. In almost any figure of the industry of such a film as The threat in the air This would be another premiere, without a special offer, but enough within the limits of their own characteristics. That it seems to be Mel GibsonIt is inevitable to feel the feeling of wasted potential.

Scenario without power

A big problem The threat in the air This is actually his script. Although the story is good, the dialogs are not on top. The characters say an extremely imposed method. They sometimes release phrases that intend to be lapidar, but do not have a claw or consistency.

In general, the set entertains and moves with a very flexible rhythm, which does not give a single respite. He knows that he is going, and throws himself without fear. The threat in the air This is a pure series of series B. Playful, cheap, simple, empty entertainment. But the fact that he remains, not having the opportunity to succeed or look outside. This requires so many circles for the same (this is the danger of creating a film in one closed space), which is ultimately a little old, although never boring.

TO The threat in the air It is difficult for you to get from point to point B, because it repeats only the same templates again and again. But this shot and DACA are enough to at least achieve the forced landing that you are looking for, and not to be a simple and slow plane crash. Except, WalbergIN Dockii And Grace They make up a trio that blooms from the ashes to pilot the ship.

Summarizing, The threat in the air This is the perfect film to turn off the brain and enjoy the series of the series B without any complaints. It would not be bad, because the cameras are such a legend as Mel GibsonWho expected a much larger number of ambitions and self -confidence. This is not a failure, and the audience will have a good time with this entertainment of fast food, but they will forget it within a few hours.
