Flight Plan
Flight Plan – 2.5 out of 5 stars
Jodie Foster plays a woman, Kyle, who is flying back from Berlin with her daughter and the body of her dead husband. They're flying back on a massive plane (two stories, a full bar, recliners in first class, etc) that Foster's character helped design. Early in the flight, Kyle wakes up to find her daughter missing. Unfortunately no one on the plane seems to remember her daughter getting on the plane, Kyle can't find the boarding pass to prove her daughter is on the plane, and the gate back at the terminal denies there being any record of her daughter as a passenger. Foster then goes into full on "I'm NOT crazy" mode.
There are a couple of twists in the plot (which I don't want to give away) and the movie is fairly watchable and even entertaining overall. There really aren't any huge special effects and very little in the way of fancy directing. It reminds me a lot of another Foster movie, Panic Room. They're both very low impact movies that make you say, "meh." Rent it if you want a moderately entertaining PG-13 movie you can watch with your parents.
