Flightplan

One of those films that used to be immensely popular, though looking at it now, it's very hard to see why. No big A-listers are involved and the film is little more than a generic 90s thriller (made half a decade too late). It's not the worst thriller out there, but I can't help but wonder how this film rose to the (commercial) top.

During a flight from Berlin to New York, Kyle loses her daughter who boarded the plane with her. When she asks around, nobody seems to have seen her daughter or even acknowledges her presence on the plane. A police officer takes care of Kyle, but even he finds it difficult to believe her story.

Foster's a bit frantic, Sarsgaard could've done better with his role. The thriller elements feel generic and predictable, the presentation is lackluster, and even though the film is on the shorter side (for a blockbuster), it still feels like it outstayed its welcome. Unremarkable thriller filler.
