This movie was absolutely fantastic! Taron Egerton, Jason Bateman & Sofia Carson were huge prominent actors in my childhood, so it was great to see them acting together. I loved the action and how it wasn’t just “BAM BAM BAM ACTION” the entire time, and how there were a few calmer scenes to let you relax before getting back to the main plot. I got very attached to Mateo once we realized he was in the same situation as Ethan (and him being queer was an added bonus- casual representation is very important and I’m glad it was there!). It absolutely broke my heart when he died, but it worked with the plot so well I can’t even be that mad. This was very realistic from what I know about airport security & terrorist threats (which, reasonably, isn’t a lot as I am a 16 year old boy just trying to make it through life) but I digress. Everyone did a fantastic job acting, the filming was incredible, and Jaume Collet-Serra directed another wonderful movie. Props to everyone who worked on and in this movie, keep up the great work!!
