Flightplan

Pros: Jodie Foster, Foster's dramatic presense
Cons: supporting cast needed help, ending needed work

Like most times in the movie industry, it went without saying, that when one dramatic film hit the theaters, that there would be something similar to come along soon thereafter. With films like Armageddon and Deep Impact, Volcano and Dante’s Peak, we ...

Pros: Jodie Foster. Effectively explores a realistic fear for some.
Cons: Slow start. Some unbelievable things.

I first saw a trailer for the movie Flightplan sometime over the summer. I was interested in the movie then and have been waiting for it to open. I was just able to see it and did enjoy it even though I thought there were a few minor ...

Pros: Decent script for the most part, good cast, well filmed...
Cons: ... typical thriller material, daft plot twist

In Flightplan, Jodie Foster plays Kyle Pratt, an aircraft propulsion system designer who has recently lost her husband. She boards a plane to take his ashes back from Germany, accompanied by her 6 year-old daughter. However all does not go ...

Pros: Intelligent (if imperfect) script, good cast, taut directing
Cons: It starts out feeling like a horror story, then becomes a mystery film

Three years after starring in David Fincher's claustrophobic thriller Panic Room, Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster (The Accused, The Silence of the Lambs) is once again cast as a 30-something mom whose life - and her child's - is in ...

Pros: Great cast, fast-paced
Cons: Too hard to believe

Suppose an American woman boards a plane in Berlin with her daughter. They are headed to New York City with the body of the woman’s husband in a casket in the plane’s cargo hold. The details of his death are unknown, other than the fact that he had some ...

Pros: Suspenseful and generally unpredictable
Cons: Too short; Loses steam after the first hour; Weak ending

Jodie Foster has starred in her share of movies, with some of her most memorable roles taking place in dramatic films. She has also had some memorable moments in suspenseful movies and one of her latest flicks is Flightplan, a thriller that takes ...

Pros: It keeps your attention.
Cons: Red herrings.

Six years of trying to get a female person outside of my family to go to the movies with me up here, and I finally did it this week. Okay, she's my Mom's age, so we're not talking about a date or anything like that, but I DID IT, okay? So take that, ...

Pros: richly atmospheric, fun to watch, peppered with observations, great acting
Cons: familiar, predictable, too given to lingering when it should be moving forward, too anticlimactic

I have to laugh when critics call Flightplan "Panic Room on a plane." Yes, both films star Jodie Foster, and yes, it's quite a surprise that, again, she's out to save her daughter. And yes, I guess - to the extent that a jumbo jet at 30,000 feet is no ...

Pros: some of Foster's performance
Cons: average story with weak twists and several holes, dialogue, music/score

Jodie Foster doesn't make many films these days, so when she does, it seems more than appropriate to take notice. Having not acted in a film since 2002 (not counting a very brief french-speaking appearance in A Very Long Engagement), her return ...

Pros: First half really keeps you guessing.
Cons: The second half peters out.

You can never go wrong with a Jodie Foster film, or so they say. She is a great actress that never fails to disappoint in whatever role she’s playing. In here recent project, Flightplan, she breathes some life into what could easily have been ...

Pros: Raspy Voiced Jodie Foster's Strong Female Performance
Cons: This "Regular Joe" movie has a couple lingering plot holes

Watch Out For Them Plot Holes "Flightplan" is the latest thriller by Robert Schwentke. Too bad its not as good as some of his previous work. A good example is "Tatoo", which held disturbing and mysterious figures making it a stellar thriller with ...

Pros: Jodie Foster and the other main characters. Suspense. Suspense. Suspense. Keeps you guessing.
Cons: Story isn't realistic, once you think about it.

Today was the day that I went, with my senior citizen father, and my sons, ages 11 and 14 years, to see Flight Plan, the suspense filled drama starring Jodie Foster. My eager anticipation of anything starring Foster was tempered by my reading of various ...

Pros: Special effects were decent; performances were stellar.
Cons: Plot.

Jodie Foster’s movies have taken on a decidedly mad maternal feel of late. First there was Panic Room (2002) in which Foster plays a newly single mother who moves into a rather large house in New York City only to be pursued by angry ...

Pros: Creative plot, quality acting, human touch, very suspenseful
Cons: A couple minor inconsistencies

I eagerly rushed out to see the much hyped Flightplan which released tonight in my area. While not perfect, I found this movie to be pretty darn close and my husband and I both came out of the theater saying how great it was. I highly recommend ...

Pros: Jodi Foster.
Cons: Long movie and a long search for a missing little girl.

Last week I watched Flightplan twice, the first time alone and the second time with my husband. It was kinda fun snickering at him as he tried to figure out the plot. Needless to say this 2005 movie is quite entertaining and suspenseful even ...
