Hijack (2023)
Lots of promise but Fails in the end
Starts out great but the story gets muddled and confused. Sam's character as a corporate "fixer" who gets hijacked along with the other passengers and crew never really takes off as his attempts to mediate a solution are weak and often based on little to know viable information. Some very odd casting that don't help us understand the characters or action (which there isn't much until the last episode). A few technical goofs, specially in regards to the jetliners operations and capabilities, that make the final action just plain dumb. "The engines are flaming out, we're at 1500 feet and 6 miles from the airport!. We're gonna glide it in." No, You're not.
The Gray Man (2022)
Didn't Need to be Done
So far from the source book material it should have been named something else. The book characters act with a high level of care and respect within their tasks and responsibilities. These characters are so off the rails they are not likable or relatable in the least. Over the top and gratuitous violence.
Without Remorse (2021)
Without A Clue
A complete departure from the Clancy novel. Nothing but the name conveys. All that and a terrible screenplay, labored direction and marginal acting.
