10 Recent Movies That Should've Ended Earlier
10. Flight Risk
Mel Gibson's new thriller Flight Risk tries to pull a Die Hard in its final few minutes by throwing one final threat into the mix once the primary villain has been dealt with.
As U.S. Marshal Madolyn (Michelle Dockery) manages to crash-land the imperilled plane, Mark Wahlberg's hitman is flung from the cabin and fatally struck by an ambulance on the runway.
Madolyn then sees her informant, Winston (Topher Grace), being wheeled into an ambulance, and everything seems to be resolved.
Except, she notices a very shady-looking man enter the ambulance, and swiftly discovers that the man is another assassin who attempts to suffocate Winston to death.
Madolyn then springs into action, shooting the second assassin, before the film ends on a hilariously awkward shot of paramedics and firefighters awkwardly staring at Madolyn and Winston in the ambulance.
Oh, and comic relief character Hasan (Maaz Ali) suddenly shuffles into the frame to take a peek for himself.
It's a wildly rushed, overcooked extra ending that feels more perfunctory than inspired, as though Gibson hastily added the scene after realising he was contractually obligated to deliver a 90-minute movie (it's 91 minutes long).
