Just got to watch this movie this week, and I have to say it was tripe! I mean, how big was this airliner supposed to be? They made it out to be larger than the current world's biggest airliner, the A380 --- Christ, it was like running though the QE2 at times!
And WHAT was the point of her being the hostage? So she knew about aircraft engines. They never used this in the film, neither the writers nor the bad guy --- what was the significance of her knowing about the plane? She could find her way around, yes, but that was VERY peripheral to what she did. And why was her husband murdered? Why had it to be HER child, and where was the connection to, well, anything??
It was made a big revelation that her husband had been killed, and that it HAD to be her that was on that plane. So they put the detonator in his coffin. Couldn't they have done that with ANY body? How many corpses do airlines carry in a week? And even if it had to be HIS corpse, why not just go get the timer or whatever it was? Why did they need to capture her daughter?
And how did so many people conveniently "forget" that she came onboard with a child?
Finally, why was it called "Flightplan". when the plot (such as it was) had nothing to do with where the plane went?
My god, you could fly a 747 through the plot-holes in that movie!
Terrible, just terrible!
That said, Foster acted well, but even she couldn't hold this pile of cr@p tigether. What a waste of time!
Anyone else see this, and think the same/different?
