Sure it's formulaic - a typical story of two people with a troubled past together who have no idea of how to land a plane being forced to take over the thing after the sudden death of their pilot. It's been done many times. But in all fairness formulaic doesn't necessarily mean bad. I thought this was a decent enough movie. It had plenty of suspense and you couldn't really be sure how this was going to turn out - would they both die or would they both survive or would one die and one make it? You couldn't really know and any of those scenarios were possible. The main actors were Allison Williams and Alexander Dreymond. I wasn't familiar with either of them, but there was nothing about their performances I could fault; nothing that would make me shy away from anything else they were in, and their characters of Sara and Jackson were both likeable, and you do find yourself rooting for them - both in terms of their relationship and their survival. Is it a masterpiece? By no means. But it's an hour and a half of decent action and a decent enough story that held my attention throughout. 6/10.
