Action fans in the UK have already been able to sample the hyper-kinetic lunacy of the new actioner Fight or Flight starring Josh Hartnett but we over here in the U.S. have had to wait for the flick which is finally set to hit this May. Hartnett stars in the John Wick/The Raid infused bombastic action-comedy from first time director James Madigan and Vertical Entertainment, which acquired the movie for North American consumption has unveiled a brand-new trailer and poster for the film which launches this spring. Check out Hartnett looking all bad ass and humorous at the same time below!
Exiled American agent Lucas Reyes (Josh Hartnett) is given one last chance to redeem himself – the assignment is to track down and identify a mysterious, international high-value asset known only as The Ghost on a flight from Bangkok to San Francisco. Complicating matters, the plane is filled with assassins from around the world who are assigned to kill them both. The pair must work together in a fight for their lives. At 37,000 feet, the stakes have never been higher.
This film has definitely climbed the levels of my must-see flicks for 2025. Hot off his starring role in M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap, Josh Hartnett is ready to channel a little John Wick and The Raid while in a Die Hard scenario on a crowded plane loaded with fierce and lethal killers. Hartnett stars as a mercenary who gets in over his head when he takes a job to take down a target only to switch it up and protect his mark when he is surrounded by lethal assassins everywhere. Cue the ballistic, brazen action design!
Hartnett stars alongside an outstanding cast that includes The Mandalorian’s Katee Sackhoff as well as action star and martial arts phenom Marko Zaror (John Wick Chapter 4, The Killer’s Game, Diablo). Other noteworthy casting additions include Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton), Julian Kostov (Shadow and Bone), and Juju Chan (Lights Out). Monkey Man’s top tier fight performer and choreographer Brahim Chad handles the blistering and eclectic bloody violent action design. Judging from the above teaser, he has definitely put his stamp of creative action chaos on this one. I’m really curious to see how the chainsaw sequence plays out. All in all, this one look to have the vibe and dark humor tone of David Leitch’s Bullet Train which starred Brad Pitt and a host of well knowns including Andrew Koji and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Fight or Flight Hits Theaters on May 9th!
