Jodie Foster never disappoints whenever she is on screen. Peter Sarsgaard did a good job as well. The first portion of the film was intriguing. When it gets to the middle you would know the rest of it. Cheesy ending and lack of a better screenplay melted down the excitement. It tried hard to be a good thriller, unfortunately, the execution was sub par.

There's a lot of tension in this skillfully-made thriller. Jodie Foster channels the concerned mom character she displayed in "Panic Room." However, the "secret" of the film is, quite frankly, dumb, and, once it is revealed, the rest of the movie plays out kind of absurdly, ruining the superb first half.

Do not watch this movie if you are planning on traveling by plane in the next 3 months. The suspense in the first half is palpable, but the "reveal" is a bit of a let-down.

It seemed like this movie came out about the same time as "Red Eye" did because for almost a year I thought they were the same thing. However, "Flightplan" has a much rounder story and at the same time offers a dramatic spin to a classical thriller. When Jodie Foster's daughter goes missing in the middle of a transatlantic flight, the crew is asked to find her, but they receive news that her daughter, in fact, never boarded the plane. She is not going to stand for it, and begins a desperate search to find her daughter and prove to everyone that she exists and that she is safe.

Flightplan is one of those films that has an Interesting concept or idea, then ruins it. The Film is not exciting and not intense. The Acting is quite good but the film is hollow and predictable, with a twist that you can see coming a mile away. Jodie Foster is good in the lead. Sean Bean and Peter Sarsgaard are also good. The screenplay is bad and the direction is sloppy. Is it just me, or, have we seen this concept before?.. in a movie called Panic Room.
