   This is definitely one of those films where someone came up with an interesting premise, but then struggled to find a reasonable explanation at the end. The whole third act is a bit of a dud. 11 years 1 month ago

   I really enjoyed this one. I did not guess the ending or the one(s) responsible for everything and I liked the suspense. I sort of liked Sean Bean as the pilot (though his role was not too big) and of course Jodie Foster in the main role. She was stunning - all that tension and despair she is able to express, it's fascinating. Good movie. 10 years 8 months ago

   In Flightplan, Jodie Foster's daughter disappears during a flight and everyone says she was just a figment of her imagination. Well, there are only two ways this can go, really. One is that it's true and makes a final punch impossible. The other is that she's being gaslit and with Peter Sarsgaard giving his best dead-eyed looks, it's not too hard to where we're headed. Even so, I have a thing for airplane thrillers, and I've never seen such a BIG plan in, well, anything before. A big double-decker and we see a LOT of it, every corner, even those we lowly passengers never get to see normally. So though the set-up is entirely different, it evolves into a Die Hard, and Foster is more than capable of handling herself given those tropes, a super-charged mamma bear protecting her (hopefully not imaginary) cub. A perfectly fine entry in the genre, even if it can't really hide the surprises it has in store for us. 3 years 1 month ago
