Title: Too good to be true and it was!
Review: The first part of the movie was well done. Was her daughter with her or was it just the thought of her daughter that overcame her? I began to have doubts, as the flashbacks appeared on the screen, and with the growing certainty of the passengers and crew that they never saw her on the plane. I thought of Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES, where the gentle older woman disappears as her newly made friend takes a nap on a train.But then everything changed. The movie was too good to be true, and it degenerated into a standard, nonsensical thriller, with Arabs, with hints of hijacking, with threats of a remote controlled bomb, with ransom demands, with guns, and with an intricate murder plot.It is always a pleasure to see Jodie Foster, and to see the quality of her acting. But she just couldn't save this movie.
