Amazon Studios? Seriously? Ok, don't get me started on that stuff, let's talk about this "Amazon Original" (oh, boy!) starring the ever-versatile Joseph Gordon Levitt as a co-pilot who shortly after take-off has his cockpit stormed by hijackers. His pilot is comatose but he's also got one of theirs, man down!
This starts a nice cat-n-mouse game as the other hijackers still in the cabin try to get Levitt to open the security door by threatening to kill passengers, etc. It's actually very predictable at every turn but the good news is they stick to the action and suspense. It's very engaging and well-produced.
Levitt, not surprising, is excellent, he's better than this role. However, as an airliner thriller and we do love those, it's pretty darn good. Not as good as last year's Plane but close. Levitt makes the difference as best as he can.
Now this is what I love about the whole Amazon Studios crap. I first checked this out in 2019 when it was only available with Prime. Now it's on Tubi, Pluto or Freevee, take your pick. Thumbs up!
