Negative Positive
Title: Claustophobic tension and Foster's strong performance make this film work.
Review: After her husband's death Jodie Foster takes a plane trip with her daughter only to discover halfway through the flight that she's gone...or did she even exist?Terrific psychological tension ensues in a great setting that preys upon our most primal fears(losing a child)and our new fears(Post 9/11 flying anxiety).Foster's intense desparate performance is a nice contrast to the cold demeanors of the pilot and flight attendants.I love the fact that Flight Plan keeps you guessing about what's going on for most of the movie.Unfortunately when all is revealed it becomes more of a routine thriller and if you give it some thought there are plenty of logic gaps.Ordinary ending aside however Flight Plan is a well crafted suspense film and Foster proves once again she's one of the best actresses we have today.(Now only if she would make more movies!)
