Flight (2021) :
Movie Review -
The trailer of Flight had kinda gave me Idea that how it's gonna turn but still I refused to skip it. Sometimes the final product comes out much better then what is expected and that slight ray of hope should always be kept by a movie fan. However, with this film Flight, nothing sort of that happened. Flight was a low budget attempt already but the overall scenario and other aspects of filmmaking aren't worthy either. This flight of filmmaking is brutally banged, Hijacked and blasted by the entire team.
So, Flight is a story of Businessman Ranveer Malhotra, who against all the odds, has to face deadly obstacles on a plane in order to survive after being trapped in a conspiracy by his haters. The story seems very interesting when you look at it but the idea isn't well explored and well presented anywhere. At one moment it looks a gripping thriller, on the next moment it turns sarcastic and funny in serious situations and then how far it goes is just a matter of passing time with the use of typical masala elements with filmy flavour.
In the acting departement not a single convincing performance was found during the 110 minutes. The first scene of the protagonist (Rahul Chadda) when he's off against the baddies to smash them, he suddenly tries to be funny on the telephonic conversation throughout the entire 5 minutes sequence of cat and mouse game until he knocks them all out within few seconds at last. I didn't understand whether he was trying to be macho or filmy freak who delivers filmy dialogues during serious situations. Just bare the new stars but even well known actors like Pavan Malhotra and Zakir Hussain also doesn't hit anything on their level. As a whole, the acting departement is a disaster, if that's not an understatement.
Flight could have emerged a decent flick despite an experimental theme like mayday adventure thriller but the basic sense of storytelling seems blasted and demolished even before it takes off. The technical aspects are somehow watchable because the theme was new so we didn't actually expect anything and that helps. Otherwise, the known terms like Screenplay, Grip, Dialogues, Music, Background Score, Production design and Direction are on a bad level and such that one won't mind leaving this flight off at halfway. Overall, Flight is failed attempt to try a new idea but with outdated methods and abominable presentation. SKIP THIS CRAP !
