Mark Wahlberg's most recent movie, Flight Risk, has received a plethora of awful reviews, continuing the actor's unfortunate Rotten Tomatoes trend.

Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson have teamed up for an action movie, but critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes are extremely divided about its quality.

Alissa Wilkinson of The New York Times agrees, noting “Where “Flight Risk” fails as a film is not really Gibson’s fault. He knows how to shoot action sequences. The screenplay is instead all over the place, in a way that feels tired and halfhearted.”

Marky Mark is back! But his newest film isn't funky or funny, and he's not saying hi to anybody's mom. Instead, in Flight Risk, Mark Wahlberg plays Daryl Booth, a combination hitman and pilot (hence the film title).

Director Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk,” starring Mark Wahlberg, is new in theaters. Does the airplane thriller have a smooth or bumpy landing with critics?

The Mel Gibson-directed film, which arrived in cinemas today, has earned mostly negative reviews on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, where it currently sits at a score of just 24% from 33 reviews at the time of writing. Here's what some of the critics have been saying so far:

Mel Gibson returned to filmmaking after almost a decade with Flight Risk. The film opened in the theatres on Friday and has earned a decent number on opening day. The movie remained below Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’s release day collection. Keep scrolling for more.

Mark Wahlberg's villain in Flight Risk would have been way more terrifying if Mel Gibson's movie included this moment that happened off-screen.

Before Uncharted, Mark Wahlberg starred in a $85M video game movie that he was skeptical about and rightfully so as it flopped hard.

Stepping into the world of movies is like embarking on a journey into a different world. We invest our precious time to immerse ourselves in the magic of cinema. We hope for a decent experience as we part with our hard-earned cash.

Mel Gibson's Flight Risk debuts at number one at the box office, despite a lower haul overall, while Steven Soderbergh's Presence underwhelms.
