Trap star Josh Hartnett's wild new thriller Fight or Flight is designed to be "be an anti John Wick", but with the same killer action

Josh Hartnett plays a mercenary on a mission in new action movie Fight or Flight, which looks like Bullet Train on a plane. His character, Lucas Reyes, is brought back into the line of duty after living on the run for several years as he's tasked with finding a mysterious criminal on a flight full of assassins.

Speaking to GamesRadar+, Hartnett says the movie has been a long time coming, but he was sold as soon as he read the script. "When we first started talking about the script it was 2021, and I hadn't seen anything like it at that point," he explains. "I didn't know that Bullet Train was coming out, which has a sort of similar concept of assassins on a train as opposed to a plane."

The big sell, the Oppenheimer star explains, was the style of the movie. "I liked the element of sort of '90s style comedy, action, it felt like a throwback, contained action film, and I liked the character too," he recalls. "I thought the character kind of just starting at the very bottom and trying to work him back up to a place where he had some dignity would be a lot of fun."
