The new action movie Sicarios en el aire premieres on June 13, promising an intense and entertaining experience that moves away from the lengthy productions typical of the genre. Starring Josh Hartnett, Katee Sackhoff, Charithra Chandran, Marko Zaror, and Julian Kostov, the film is produced by the renowned Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, known for their work on the successful John Wick saga.
A movie that aims to be the big surprise of the season
The plot centers around Lucas, a retired mercenary in Thailand who receives a surprising assignment: to capture a criminal on a plane bound for the United States. As the story progresses, Lucas discovers that he is not alone in his mission, as over a hundred hitmen compete for the same target. This triggers a series of chaotic events that test his determination and morality.
With a runtime of 97 minutes, Fight or Flight opts for a concise and dynamic narrative, in contrast to productions that exceed two hours. The critics have received the film with positive ratings, describing it as a solid and entertaining B-movie option. John Nugent from Empire gave it three stars, highlighting Hartnett’s performance as a convincing action hero and praising James Madigan as a director to watch in the genre.
Additionally, Nick Schager from The Daily Beast noted the film as fun, energetic, and smart enough to sustain its brief duration, while Nicholas Brooks from CBR rated it as one of the best action movies of 2025. With its light tone and unpretentious action, Fight or Flight presents itself as an appealing option for those seeking uncomplicated entertainment.
