Imagine Red eye, Forgotten & Panic Room, roled up into one movie, but remove all the good bits and you get Flightplan.
A simple plot, Jodie Foster, is on her way home (on a plan duh!) and while on bored she miss-places her daughter. But know one beleives she exists & Jodie starts to a little bit mental.
This is a good film, rapped by a really average one. There are so many bad things in it, its a shame, because it really could have been very good. Jodie is her usual self, good, nothing better IMO. Sean Bean (who plays the captain) is criminaly under-used, he's a great actor and says about 10 lines is this. The marshal on the plan (Sarsgadd) is just not very good, they needed to get someone like Keifer "Jack Bauer" Sutherland to play him.
I also think the dreaded PG13 factor spoiled this. Imagine your daughter has gone missing, do you not think you might utter the odd rude word to the (very unhelpful) air steward's. I Fu***** would! lol. That was another bad thing, the air stewards were aparently up in arms about how they were portrayed in this, and i can see why. They all seem like heartless & brainless idiots.
In the original script Jodie's role was ment to be played by a man, and i think that would have been much better. There are to many films about mum & daughter, we need a dad & daughter film. The raiting i give this film, probably seems like a contradiction to what i have said, but it was enjoyable, it just wasn't as good/tense as it should of been.
6/10
