'Horizon Line' [Blu-ray]
(Allison Williams, Alexander Dreymon, Keith David, et al / Blu-ray / PG-13 / 2021 / Universal Pictures Home Entertainment)

Overview: Former couple Sara and Jackson board a single-engine plane for a routine and casual flight to their friend's tropical island wedding.

However, within minutes of takeoff, their pilot suffers a fatal heart attack, leaving them with no idea where they are, and no clue how to land the plane.

With nothing but miles of ocean and sky in every direction, and a terrifying storm that's about to envelop them, Sara and Jackson have only one shot ... and there's no going back.

Blu-ray Verdict: The plot follows Sara (Allison Williams) and Jackson (Alexander Dreymon) who are having a conflict as a "couple" due to the fact they both live in different countries!

When they are invited to a mutual friends wedding they both hop aboard a small plane to fly over to the island, but when the pilot has a heart attack, Sara is left trying to fly the plane!

Oh, and then there's an impending, and bad storm a'coming, of course! They now have limited fuel and no land to be found out in the sea to come safely down on, so it's all hands to the pump, as they say!

The plot is decent and you start to feel for the couple up there after the first bout of turbulence. And sure, their "relationship" is tested when they are both fighting for survival in the skies, but overall it's a very suspenseful film, in truth.

The film does have some thrills also, like when Jackson tries to patch a broken fuel line while in the air or when Sara tries to refuel while hanging on the planes wing!

The cast performances were also good with Allison Williams and Alexander Dreymon at the helm of their lead roles.

Personally, I liked the suspense and edge of seat moments in this film. I can't recall seeing Allison Williams in anything before, but I thought she played a fantastic, believable character in this film.

I'm also a HUGE fan of Alexander Dreymon and so it was a refreshing change of pace to see him in a different role other than Uhtred in The Last Kingdom (which happens to be one of my favorite shows ever).

Indeed, I look forward to seeing Alex in many more roles in the years to come in his career that steer him away from LK.

In closing, yes, for sure 'Horizon Line' is a predictable, farfetched thriller, but aren't most movies? Isn't the purpose of movies to entertain the audience with the "impossible" and "unrealistic"? If so, which it is, this qualifies as a GREAT film! This is a Widescreen Presentation (2.37:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Bonus Feature of Deleted Scenes.

'Horizon Line' [Blu-Ray] arrives on Digital, Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand February 16th, 2021 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
