Movie Review - Flightplan

The flight now departing from gate 3 is trash!

This film is garbage. I've read that the lead character was going to played by Sean Penn. What happened there then? Jodie Foster is going to annoy you in this film. Parents might relate to the film better than people who haven't got any kids. Right. The start of this film is rubbish, and totally not needed. We don't need to see her husband or see her seeing him in the morgue. All we needed was someone telling her he's dead and their transporting him back to America.

Also seeing all the passengers board. Not needed. The family sitting in front of Jodie Foster quite obviously do see her child as they are all looking over the seats and talking to her for a good few minutes. I didn't really see the need to show the coffin on the luggage transporter. All that was required was Jodie asking a steward if the coffin was in the hold and then a shot of it in the hold.

I didn't understand why Jodie didn't explain her husbands death which would have made her state of mind better. I don't see how there was no record of the daughter on the plane. This would mean that there was someone on the ground helping them as well. She wasn't on the manifest but she'd be on her mothers passport at age 6 wouldn't she? Throwing the Arabs into the mix was a bit naughty, and racist. The whole idea of them being kidnappers or white slavers. The idea that the girl died, she'd have her own coffin. So why Jodie opened her husbands coffin, and how she was able to? I thought it would be well and truly sealed.

The whole "Sky Marshall is a terrorist" was a bit of a c***py idea. I didn't get why the pilot refused to search the hold. Generally this film is naff. And people say they've watched this on a plane? Isn't that a really bad idea. Avoid this. It's beyond awful.
