Movie 2008.03.10 - Flightplan

There's no doubt that Jodie Foster is one of the best drama actresses out there. Think Contact, Silence of the Lambs, Panic Room, etc. However, even she can't save a bad script. I mean, you bring your child to the airport, go though immigration with her, pass though the boarding area, surely you were greeting by a couple of stewardesses as you board the plane. You wake up three hours into the flight, and your girl vanishes into thin air (no pun intended). Yet the most intriguing part is, no one in the whole plane even remembers seeing the child with you. How incredible can that be?

So Jodie threatens and strong arms the flight crew into search the place from top to bottom, head to tail. She accuses a groups of Middle Eastern guys of kidnapping her daughter for blackmail. She sabotages the plane's control system to create a diversion, then crawls up the cargo hold in search for her daughter. She takes on the terrorists who are bent on blowing up the plane unless they get their money. Ah, all in a day's work for a Hollywood Mom.
