Horizon Line

Horizon Line is a Swedish adventure thriller film directed by Mikael Marcimain.

The film tells about a young woman Sarah, who finds it hard to say goodbye to loved ones, leaving her lover, Jackson, for a career. A year later, Sarah returns to a tropical island for her friends' wedding, and an awkward meeting with her former lover awaits her. Now they need to distract themselves from personal grievances and get to the celebration, where both are notoriously late. Heroes board a private jet and keep up with the schedule until an unforeseen event occurs. The pilot dies of a heart attack, and Sarah and Jackson find themselves hovering over the ocean, having only a general idea of how to fly the plane, not even knowing how to land.

The leading actors and the only title characters could previously be seen in well-known projects. Actress Allison Williams starred in the horror film Get Out and appeared on the series Patrick Melrose, while Alexander Dreymon starred in the series The Last Kingdom and the third season of American Horror Story.

Thriller Horizon Line may be the most unsuccessful project in actors' filmography because of a simple plot, reluctance to interest the audience with the main characters, who manage to get bored in the first fifteen minutes, and unrealistic events.

The one significant advantage of the film is that the constant action keeps the film under tension and is fascinating to watch until the end.

Has a couple tense moments but otherwise this was just dumb. The acting was at best average and the plot thin, far too thin for the 90-minute running time. One of those watch and forget-it films. **2.25/5**

Ok, so you really do have to suspend any sense of reality if you're going to get anything out of this totally far-fetched airborne fantasy - but I still didn't hate it. The acting is terrible - but did anyone expect any less from Alexander ("Uhtred") Dreymon? It takes for ever to get going, but when it does Allison Williams as his stranded co-passenger "Sara" has some fun and is game for a few silly escapades as the adventure lurches from the entertaining to the down right preposterous; but it's tongue is firmly in it's cheek and I've seen worse lately as the lockdown production dearth propels mediocre efforts like this onto a big screen that normally would take two years to hit Amazon Prime. Aim low and it's not dreadful, but aeronautically speaking - it's a work of fiction that needs to be taken with a whole bucket of salt!
