Director Chris Stokes and co-writer Marques Houston have taken better advantage of Tubi than most filmmakers, having several movies on the streaming platform like The Stepmother, The Stepmother 2, Best Friend, The Assistant and Howard High. They also have No Way Out coming at the end of March.

Now, they've created a slasher-style movie in which Keith Mitchell (Michael Jai White, who has been in everything from Spawn and Universal Soldier to Dragged Across Concrete, Mortal Kombat Annihilation and Why Did I Get Married?) loses his wife Sam (Robinne Lee) to a black-robed and masked killer -- the opening attack is quite horrific -- and then has to watch as a similar murderer stalks his daughter Alexis (Precious Way).

The difference is that due to a flight delay, he's trapped on an airplane 30,000 feet above the Earth while Alexis, who is on house arrest, is left all alone. When the WiFi signal keeps cutting out, getting messages and help from Keith to his daughter becomes nearly impossible. But even when you think the story is over, the danger isn't.

This film has a moment that makes cell phones works in the age of the new slasher. Keith asks his daughter to send him a photo so he can see her while he's in the air. As he studies it, he horrifically sees the killer in the window behind her. I loved how he loses his mind in the aisles of the plane while normal passengers wonder why this man is flipping out. This is moments after the stewardess tries to ask Keith out!

My other favorite part of this is that they somehow got a song on this soundtrack that sounds exactly like "Fantasy" but just one small note or two off. I was wondering how Footage Films swung that kind of budget! It does have Justin Sweat -- and his dad Keith in a small role -- in the cast though.

The more I watch movies like this, the closer I am to inventing a new genre for them. I've brought it up before, but I really am wondering if there can be urban giallo, a world that has hip hop instead of Morricone, Ciroc instead of J&B and club scenes instead of wild parties where women show up in paper dresses.

The main character talks like a baby which annoys me, I don't understand why we portray women that way. Oh I'm just a dumb woman with long nails and a bubble gum voice. This movie kind of reminds me of kids today, too dumb to call 911. Oh I'll call my daddy...at 17 years old. I mean get off the phone with your daddy and call the cops. The idea was good but her having her phone in her hand and not calling 911 was just stupid. Not to mention you can tell half the cameras and electronics in your house to call 911 these daya. Im sure the ring doorbell has this feature. And why doesn't the flight attendant actually help instead or worrying about the other passengers. Lol I mean really the pilot can contact the FAA and tell them to call 911. Good premise, bad storyline. I mean really just stay in the closet where you are safe. Also the address the dad gives on the plane doesn't match the address the girl texts. Yeah I noticed. He said 5237 Maple street bc I thought well isn't Maple mainstream USA. Also she asked what state and he said Inglewood. Lol his daughter types 1278 Hudson Street as their address. And she could have saved the other girls lives. Just dumb. I mean I watched it to the end but it had a ton of flaws and a good premise but poor carry through. It wasn't actually a terrible movie, it was just flawed.

How can an experienced filmmaker Chris Stokes with over 40 directorial credits and almost as many writing and producing credits come up with such nonsense... aren't you supposed to get better the more films you make instead of worse? Aside from the obvious Scream rip-off, adding a predictable and infantile 5-minute twist at the end doesn't justify wasting viewers time with this mess.

Stokes also seems he hasn't learned how to direct his cast properly, because aside from MJW (who was the only draw to see this mess) who can carry his own without cast direction, every other actor seemed like this was their first acting job. And if you want to see this film because of MJW, trust me, you will see zero of his martial arts skills, he was only cast to draw an audience, that like myself, will be very disappointed.

Aside from MJW, all casting and performances were amateur hour. The story was riddled with plot and technical issues, and aside from being cliched, you will get more eyerolls and cringe with the laughable dialogue and nonsense screenplay. Even at a normally comfortable 85 min runtime, this film dragged on and felt never-ending with it's sappy dialogue, terrible acting, and cringeworthy story. Even the pin-hole camera shots were more annoying than effective. There's nothing redeemable about this mess, and I can go on and on how bad this was, but I've already wasted enough time watching this mess so you don't have to, so enough said. It's a generous 2/10 all going to MJW who was miscast and underutilized. My tittle says it all.
