Plot: A young airline security guard is blackmailed by a mysterious passenger who threatens to smuggle a dangerous package onto a plane on Christmas Eve.
This film was Really Good.
Pros: I like how this did rip off die hard but also doing it’s own thing with the premise. Taron Egerton was good as the lead. The setting felt simple as you expect in a Airport. Jason Bateman did well playing a smart villain. And it kept me on my feet what going to happened next in the story.
Cons: The villains aren’t well fresh out. It’s lacking of any humour and at times I doze off in the middle of the film.
