Quick Hit

Homicidal either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands well below the line. A decent premise gets left on the table.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. The craft is either locked in or hanging by a thread, and this movie knows it. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
