Just another thriller with too much plot. full review
It's a tense, concise and elegantly shot film that creates a sense of menace from the very beginning - - and in a way that's unusual. full review

Flightplan delivers a frightening thriller with an airtight plot. full review

May 9, 2007awesome. this movie was exciting & fast-paced, filled w/ suspense. Kept me guessing all the way. where was julia? y did she disapppear? although the ending could b improved by her apologising 2 the arab guy since she accused him on the plane, causing him 2 get called "son of a b**ch" by a passenger.
