Flightplan Review (DVD)

I heard a lot of good things about this movie and someone even said it was the best movie they had seen in the past 10 years. The only way this could be true if you watched nothing but junk in the past decade. At the beginning the movie is so boring as you watch a mother and daughter deal with a death in the family and pack up for a flight back to the US. Its about as fun as travelling in real-life. The little girl all of a sudden is missing and the best part of the movie starts. Jodie Foster does a good job of acting psycho and making the audience feel scared and tense for her situation. There are some great exchanges and insults thrown about and the mystery is setup. The end left a lot to be desired since it was so far-fetched with loose ends that didn't quite make sense. A lot of explanation is made to answer questions that everyone watching might have, but I'm not sure if you could buy everything that was explained. In the end the movie has a lot of flaws in the premise and it just seemed so unbelievable. Its not the worst movie but I was definitely disappointed.

Flightplan = Average Rental Without the Hype
