Flightplan (2005)

Fakes On A Plane...

I've loved Jodie Foster ever since being mesmerized by her in THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE. SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was the dark icing on the cake. Now, Ms. Foster has become a suspense / thriller / action hero. PANIC ROOM was great and FLIGHTPLAN is almost as good. Here we get a mother named Kyle Pratt (Foster), trapped on a plane, unable to find her 6yo daughter. Unfortunately, no one believes her, and there's no record of her daughter ever being on the plane! Is she nuts, or is there some diabolical conspiracy afoot? The tension builds nicely, while we wonder what is going on. Kyle goes from concerned parent to nearly berserk passenger to unstoppable super-mum on the loose! Definitely a flight worth taking... September 24, 2008

A serious "AIRPLANE?"

For some reason, I couldn't take this movie seriously. It was the way that all the people looked at Jodie Foster (Kyle) when she told everyone that her daughter was missing on the plane. The flight attendants and passengers looked like they were going to give "that look" from the comedy "Airplane." In fact, any minute I was expecting Leslie Nielsen to show up and say "Stop calling me Shirley." Wait a minute, I was expecting Sean Bean (The Captain) to say "Stop calling me Shirley."

Foster mentions to the captain and attendants that she was under the medication of Klonopin. Well, as the film kept dragging on, I felt like I was on Klonopin - not that I've ever taken Klono.......pin. Never mind.

It was a nice trip through the entire plane, while everyone was looking for Kyle's daughter. I loved the "pained expression" on the Sky Marshal's face when Foster was berating him. Come to think of it, seems like everyone had a pained expression when inconvenienced by Foster - in particular, the Middle Eastern guys. Goofy movie. August 23, 2008

Never under estimate a mother

Jodie Foster shows everyone that a mother will do anything to protect her child and no one will get in her way as she plows through doubters and those in authority to find her child. This movie gets your blood pumping through her struggle. Movie arrive in excellent condition. May 16, 2008

Whole Lotta Bad Acting

I usually like Jodi Foster but her performance here is over the top, and the rest of the performances are just plain bad. The story itself is formulaic. I was disappointed. April 20, 2008

Great Thriller!

A great movie. There hasn't been that many good, smart thrillers in the recent years so I was glad to have found this movie. It's sort of a chase-thriller which keeps you guessing who the culprit is or, in this case, sometimes makes you wonder if there is a culprit at all. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. Highly recommend it. April 5, 2008
