Amazon.co.uk Review
If you can forgive plot holes that you could drive the airliner of your choice through the middle of, then Flightplan is an effective, pacey Hollywood thriller, that somehow manages to hold everything together in spite of its challenging plausibility.

Credit for that must go to its lead actress. In the hands of a lesser talent, this is just the kind of movie that could descend into obscurity. But Jodie Foster, as always, injects her character with a believability and a drive that’s hard to resist, and here is no different.

The plot sees her flying her late husband’s body back home on a commercial flight. As her and her six year old daughter settle down, Foster soon falls asleep, awaking to find no sign of her child, and no one who can even remember her being on the flight. Has someone taken her? Is it all in Foster’s mind? These are the questions the film circles, and for a good hour of its running time, it’s compelling Hollywood-style entertainment.

The cracks soon appear when you examine the film more closely though, and it’s as if Flightplan is just as aware of that as everyone else. The decision therefore to keep the film moving at a good pace is a wise one, leaving the viewer free to switch their brain off and just enjoy the ride, without querying too much the glabrous script that rarely makes as good use of the premise as you’d hope.

Yet the film still works. It may, after the credits have rolled, have failed to live up to its potential, and there’s a good hour of dissection waiting to happen afterwards. Yet, crucially, there’s also the best part of a couple of hours of good, solid entertainment in it for you too.--Jon Foster

DVD Description
Jodie Foster plays Kyle Pratt, a recently widowed aircraft designer who must fly her and her daughter back from Berlin to America in order to bury her late husband. When she awakes from a much-needed nap, she realises to her horror that her six-year-old daughter Julia is missing. Kyle initially thinks her daughter may have wandered off, but mild panic turns to full-scale hysteria when after an exhaustive search Julia is nowhere to be found on the plane. More worryingly, it emerges that Julia was never even registered as a passenger on the flight. With no one on board confirming that they had seen her, the audience is left guessing as to whether this is all a figment of Kyle's strained state of mind. Tense action follows as Kyle must rely on her own instincts to save herself and find her daughter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great flight, bit of a shame bout the landing!, 2 Jul 2006
By Mr. A. J. Richards "yourbiteall" (Weston Super Mare) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well, its definately better than i expected. But thats the beauty of non-hyped films like this that probably are not going to be great ultimatly... you can appreciate them a little more and it is 90 minutes of tense, entertaining fun. So why only 3 stars? Because after the amount of films i have seen over the years, i am beginning to realise that 3 stars isnt such a bad thing. this just isnt as good as alot of other movies. It mixes different syles throughout and although generating a huge plothole and general silliness towards the end, it is definately worth watching. Foster and Bean also earn thier paychecks and this makes you respect the film a bit more. Easily forgettable but this is pushing towards a higher mark rather than a lower one.

3.0 out of 5 stars How can you get lost on an airplane?, 31 Jan 2006
By Mr. Jd Ware "wolvie-ware" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
To watch this film, you will have to leave disbelief at the door. There are far too many plot holes and plot contrivances for you to take this film seriously.

It is an entertaining piece of popcorn hokum however, that will more than keep you guessing.

Jodie Foster plays an increasingly distraught mother, whose daughter has supposedly gone missing on an airbourne flight. Foster, ever reliable, puts in a believable performance, but it's a role that she has done far too often. It's very similar to her role in Panic Room, and therefore doesn't feel much different.

Sean Bean is also notable as the plane's pilot - and for once, not stereotyped as the baddie. You can't help but love a film that Sean Bean is in!

But that doesn't make it brilliant. It starts off very slowly, and is a good half hour before they even set foot on the plane. Then the onboard antics of Foster shouting for her daughter start to get very werisome and boring.

The interesting plot idea is not fully carried out to it's potential, as it uses the same scenario over and over again: Foster looks somewhere for her daughter, cabin crew try to stop her, she looks anyway, daughter isn't there, Foster is sent to her seat, now repeat for the next hour.

It never really racks up the tension, and the longer you wait for the thrilling twist towards the end you wonder if Foster is deluded, or if it is actually happening. By the end, it doesn't really matter, because the pay off is weak, and disappointing, and you can't believe you sat through and hour and a half to get to that conclusion.

4.0 out of 5 stars really enjoyable, 2 Mar 2006
With the past plane outing, 'Red Eye' being quite a big hit, it seems that someone else is going to have a crack at the whole plane thing. And fortunatley, Flightplan too is also a great thriller. The film focuses on a woman who leaves on a trip to New York with her daughter on the newly designed plane, that has two stories, bars, lounges and the ability to travel extremley fast. Everything goes wrong when her daughter disappears on board and the crew deny that her daughter was ever on the plane. Fighting against everyone, she has to find the truth behind this mystery. Yes, the story line is reall far-fetched but if you stick with it, you will find it really enjoyable. The movie is really thrilling and has some great scenes and action but at points it is really witless. The centre of the movie is of course the come-back of Jodie Foster, who really propels this movie. Without her, Flightplan probably wouldn't be that great, but anyway it is really good and ends with an surprising twist that really was unexpected. Unlesss you are really against movies in planes or a really good thriller that doesn't fail to excite you should give it a watch and see what you think.
