Review of Flightplan (2005) by Monty — 22 Sep 2005
Tepid and proposterous thriller about a mother whose child goes missing aboard an intercontinental flight. A potentially intriguing "Lady Vanishes" type premise is mangled by outrageous storyline.
Visuallly flashy but utterly lacking in tension or suspense. The always-enjoyable Jodie Foster, plays a mother, trapped in a Kafka-esque situation, her sanity questioned as she tries to convince a skeptical captain and crew that her child has somehow been snatched aboard the plane.
Sadly, Foster 'is given little to do except look angst-ridden throughout her ordeal; Peter Sarsgaard is horribly miscast as an air marshall though Sean Bean is effective as the captain of the high tech airliner.
Don't wasate your money.
