The last time Josh Hartnett can recall doing his own stunts for a movie, he was 29. The movie was Bunraku, a martial arts action flick that came at the tail end of a streak of movies that positioned Hartnett as the next Hollywood heartthrob — from Pearl Harbor, to Sin City, and Lucky Number Slevin.
But now, at 46, Hartnett finds himself enjoying something of a career renaissance with back-to-back turns in the critically acclaimed Oppenheimer and the future cult classic, Trap. All eyes were on his next project. So, it felt like a bit of a left-field choice for Hartnett to star in a wacky assassin thriller that could be described as “Bullet Train on a plane.” But for Hartnett, Fight or Flight was exactly what he wanted to do next.
