As one of our wise guests tweeted (is it still called tweeting?) upon the reveal of our title at our latest Classified Cinema screening…
 "Buckle up, it’s Fight or Flight!"

This roller coaster ride of gore, blood, and body horror does not disappoint—unless you're looking for something different.

Fight or Flight (starring Josh Hartnett) is a turbo-charged descent into madness at 30,000 feet, blending pitch-black comedy with relentless suspense. Hartnett delivers a career-highlight performance as an assassin with a past, trapped on a plane—and perhaps with a few too many fellow passengers. In this episode, we dig into the film’s jaw-dropping twists, practical effects that would make Cronenberg proud, and why director Melina Matsoukas turned a routine charter into one of the year’s most visceral cinematic experiences. Fasten your seatbelts—we’re diving headfirst into Flight Risk.
