Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Leofwine_draca FLIGHTPLAN is a preposterous, appallingly written thriller that has to have one of the dodgiest plots in the history of film. The story revolves around a plane hijacking, but far be it from these villains to go the conventional takes-hostages-hold-bomb routine; no, they have to decide on a series of events so ridiculous and random that, with careful thought on the part of the viewer, the whole film gradually falls to pieces. It's a shame, because there's potential here; the first half of the film concentrates on the is-she-losing-her-mind? aspect of the story and does it well; they should have just left things there.But no, things gradually descend into unbelievable chaos as Foster becomes a John McClane style action hero, fending off a foe who would have trouble frightening little children. Peter Sarsgaard, whoever this guy is, is the worst actor I've seen in a long time, and he seems to think looking through half-closed eyes makes him sinister. No, buddy, it makes you look stupid. The climax descends into inanity which astonishingly rips off RED EYE, throwing that particular thriller into a good light, and it all ends with a cheesy syrup-laden Hollywood happy ending which'll have you retching.On the plus side? Well, the movie's well shot, apart from the completely unnecessary and ridiculous-looking spots of slow-motion (who would think it looked cool to have Foster running down an aisle shouting in slow motion?). Foster embarrasses herself in a film that's far below her talents, while at the same time reminding the viewer how much better PANIC ROOM was by comparison. One of my very favourite actors, Sean Bean, also pops up as the plane's captain, but his character is severely underwritten and doesn't get to do anything which sucks. FLIGHTPLAN is an awful movie, one I never want to go near again, and it's purely down to the writing. Whoever wrote this – and whoever greenlit the script in Hollywood – should never work again.

Davis P Flightplan (2005) starring Jodie foster is a very fun and entertaining thrill ride. This movie really is very well made and well written, and I really did enjoy every minute of it. I know that this film did not review very good reviews from professional critics, but I respectfully disagree. This movie is full of interesting plot twists, cool action/fight sequences, and great dramatic acting from all performers. I absolutely loved Jodie Foster in her lead role! Also, I enjoyed Sean bean's character in this film, he had some very good dramatic moments here. The plot of this film is very intriguing and engaging and the plot is well executed here. Also, I love how this movie isn't just another generic action movie full of a bunch of random effects, this is actually a very intelligent and smart movie that features a list acting and a well written script. Bottom line is that this film is very smart and fun and a true joy to watch, this is one more gem in Jodie Foster's filmography. 8/10 for Flightplan.

rodgerw-1 The quality of Jodie's acting is all that saves this waffle from total crash-landing, the missing kid had plausibility and her frantic search good acting,but the emerging of the 'Air Marshall' as the bad guy, his extortion method and the 'Die Hard 2' type conclusion left me in no doubt that I should have braved the rain and gone for that cycle. To see Jodie walking away from an airliner that was still supposedly carrying a large amount of fuel was as ridiculous as the concept that she would actually detonate the bombs while herself and her daughter were aboard. The predictability of the scene involvement the Arab gentleman was as embarrassing as any attempt to end stereotyping of a particular group. All in all Jodie is so far better than this and its a pity to waster her amazing talent on dragging dirge like this out of the mire.

SnoopyStyle Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster) is an aviation engineer. Her husband dies in Berlin falling off a building. Then she's going back to New York with his casket and her daughter on a plane she helped designed. After falling asleep, she finds her daughter missing. The crew searches frantically, but eventually doubts arises, and she's seen as delusional.There is a good element of Hitchcockian mystery, and psychological thriller. For the first half, the movie is building up to a great mystery. Director Robert Schwentke creates a moody atmosphere, but it all falls apart as the truth is revealed. It turns into an action movie, but the convoluted explanation is a wrench in the whole machinery.
