Plot Summary: Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer ("A Beautiful Mind," "Apollo 13") teams up with two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster ("Silence of the Lambs," "The Accused") in the taut psychological thriller, "Flightplan," directed by Robert Schwentke and written by Peter Dowling and Billy Ray. Flying at 40,000 feet in a cavernous, state-of-the-art 474 aircraft, Kyle Pratt (Foster) faces every mother's worst nightmare when her six year-old daughter, Julia, vanishes without a trace mid-flight from Berlin to New York. Already emotionally devastated by the unexpected death of her husband, Kyle desperately struggles to prove her sanity to the disbelieving flight crew and passengers while facing the very real possibility that she may be losing her mind. While neither Captain Rich (Bean), nor Air Marshal Gene Carson (Sarsgaard) want to doubt the bereaved widow, all evidence indicates that her daughter was never on board resulting in paranoia and doubt among the passengers and crew of the plane. Finding herself desperately alone, Kyle can only rely on her own wits to solve the mystery and save her daughter.

Trailer made this look pretty good. Plus, Jodie Foster is good in just about anything she does.

We're watching Law & Order: Criminal Intent (reruns nightly starting today) and trying to avoid all the previews for Flightplan, including 7 minutes of footage from the film.

:bang:

We're seeing it tomorrow, we don't want to see that much of it tonight... :D

Theater 21 at AMC Arizona Center is HUGE. There was a line weaving back and forth within some rope dividers and then along the wall, around the corner and almost out of the building...and we all fit inside without any problems.

My wife and I got our usual seats - front row middle. :thumbup: Amazing that they're always available. :D

Movie critic Bill Muller (Az Republic) was in the 4th row, first of the next level stadium seats.

Packed house...audience was really into the film. Good crowd.

Liked it a lot. Good suspense. As usual Foster puts on a stellar performance.

I just watched it. I thought it was pretty good, but Peter Sarsgaard just didn’t convince me that he could have pulled this off. The acting of Jodie Foster was great though. She actually had me questioning whether she actually did have a daughter on board.

I liked this movie right up until they tell you who is behind it and why, and then it just went into the tank.

Pretty lame ending too.

watched about half of it. tivoed it off encore over the weekend.

so far....a completely frustrating movie. aweful premise, with a more than subpar plot full of stupid holes.

may not watch the rest and just delete it.
