« Flightplan » hinges the whole movie on Jodie Foster's character, Kyle who lost her daughter on a New York-bound flight from Berlin. Her daughter and her left Berlin after her husband's death. The problem is, nobody seemed to have seen her daughter, Julia. Was she hallucinating? or was there something going on?

It was a well-made thriller: plenty of scares, Jodie's right hook now and then, plus the dramatic plight of a mother who just lost her daughter and the sinister remarks made by the flight attendants behind the curtains. Nevertheless, the plot was just not strong enought to carry the movie.

It's a thriller, so surprises are what make it interesting, thus I won't divulge too much information here. But, generally speaking, most of what's happening was just a string of once-in-a-blue-moon coincidences. She must be the unluckiest person on Earth for all these to happen to her.
It's hard not to compare it to a similarly-themed movie a few weeks back, Red Eye which seemed to be packed with much more content, punch, and fun than this one.
