Amazon.com:
Like a lot of stylishly persuasive thrillers, Flightplan is more fun to watch than it is to think about. There's much to admire in this hermetically sealed mystery, in which a propulsion engineer and grieving widow (Jodie Foster) takes her 6-year-old daughter (and a coffin containing her husband's body) on a transatlantic flight aboard a brand-new jumbo jet she helped design, and faces a mother's worst nightmare when her daughter (Marlene Lawston) goes missing. But how can that be? Is she delusional? Are the flight crew, the captain (Sean Bean) and a seemingly sympathetic sky marshal (Peter Sarsgaard) playing out some kind of conspiratorial abduction? In making his first English-language feature, German director Robert Schwentke milks the mother's dilemma for all it's worth, and Foster's intense yet subtly nuanced performance (which builds on a fair amount of post-9/11 paranoia) encompasses all the shifting emotions required to grab and hold your attention. Alas, this upgraded riff on Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (not to mention Otto Preminger's Bunny Lake is Missing) is ultimately too preposterous to hold itself together. Flightplan gives us a dazzling tour of the jumbo jet's high-tech innards, and its suspense is intelligently maintained all the way through to a cathartic conclusion, but the plot-heavy mechanics break down under scrutiny. Your best bet is to fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the thrills on a purely emotional level--a strategy that worked equally well with Panic Room, Foster's previous thriller about a mother and daughter in peril. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Amber Alert in the sky
This movie is something like a cross between The Twilight Zone & Alfred Hitchcock presents, with some 9/11 themes thrown in just for fun. There is a missing little girl on a huge double-decker passenger jet flying across the Atlantic. Or is there a missing girl? Therein lies the crux of the storyline.

The DVD contains strong performances by Jodi Foster and Sean Bean. Foster is always a great actress, and the movie hinges on whether we can relate to her angst as a mother of ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Flightplan Full Screen Edition Review
A suspense thriller about a grieving widow transporting her husband's body on a transatlantic flight with her 6 year old daughter in tow. Jodie Foster does a great job in this movie and is very convincing in her own, doubting her own sanity at times due to circumstances and what others consistently were telling her. It kept you guessing and was not a predictable plot. I'm not a big action fan, but I did like this one. It had a story to it, not just the same old crime/vengence theme.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Too many plot holes
Taut thriller in which Jodie Foster plays a grieving widow flying back to New York from Berlin with her six year old daughter following the death of her husband in a tragic accident. Foster's daughter mysteriously goes missing on the plane flight whilst Jodie Foster is sleeping, but when Foster reports her daughter as missing, there is no record of her ever being on the plane, throwing doubts on Foster's sanity. Foster is compelling as the grieving mother desperately trying to find her daughter aboard ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:
JODY FOSTER IS GREAT AS USUAL. JODYS CHARACTER DESIGNED THE PLANE. oNE A FLIGHT HER CHILD GOES MISSING AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE SEEN HER. jODY HAS TO FIND HER AND DEAL WITH TERRORISTS ON HER OWN. JM
