The first hour and ten minutes are really excellent filmmaking. Gorgeous cinematography and excellent intensity. But toward the end the writing just falls apart. Why the hell is the FBI involved in a crime that took place on a flight to Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada? And then there are everyone else's reactions to the situation which are at the end totally unbelievable. So it's a mixed bag. Worth watching but nowhere near as good as Panic Room.

Well directed. Unfortunately, during the second half, plot degenerates into absolute mess.

On the surface Flightplan appears to be a decently constructed clostrophobic thriller in the line of Hitchcock, but it soon shows itself to have little enjoyment past the interest attained from the ridiculous plotline. For a while it is interesting while you're trying to work out what is going on behind all the smooth characters, one is obviously deeply involved underneath his false facade put on for passengers and crew. However there are multiple plotholes and the revelation comes too early.

I like this patently-ridiculous thriller more than I should, even second time around. (Though to be fair, it had been seven years, and I'd forgotten every last twist and turn in the intervening period, somehow.) The thrills are solid and I was consistently enthralled; Sarsgaard makes for a great counterpart to Foster.

Entertaining and well shot, but very, very silly.

Do you remember that "Simpsons Did It" episode of South Park? OK. Hitchcock did it.

An okay watch I guess, but the plot is hugely flawed, and the terrible last 20 minutes destoy an chance of repectability this movie had.
