Panic Room meets Snakes on a Plane as Jodie Foster has her child stolen whilst aboard a flight from Germany to the U.S.
From the trailers this film intrigued viewers, it has a tense plot, an interesting premise, and a decent cast, but there was a worrying doubt that it would look more like the latter of the films aforementioned. Luckily, this is not the case, Flight Plan is a fast-paced thrilling movie that is full of action and suspense.
The story is of mother bringing the body of her husband back from Berlin for burial. With her is her traumatized daughter who is terrified of everything, especially flying. Once in the air, the mother goes to the bathroom and returns to find her daughter missing. Her pleas to flight staff fall on deaf ears when it is revealed that her daughter is not on the flight’s manifest. And when pilot Sean Bean does some research and discovers that her daughter apparently died with her father, the situation…excuse me…takes off!
A great film that entertains from beginning to end. It does not let off at any point, and Foster is brilliant in her role (albeit very similar to the role she played in Panic Room). The plot is somewhat unbelievable, but they piece it together well.
An enjoyable “journey” for anyone afraid of planes, abduction, bio-terrorism, or ghosts.
