Flightplan (2005)
Director: Robert Schwentke
Movie review
From Time Out New York
An aeronautical engineer (Foster) boards a flight with her daughter only to awake from a nap and discover her child is missing. Is the kid's disappearance part of the mother's mental meltdown or a nefarious scheme? German filmmaker Robert Schwentke's last movie, Tattoo (2002), seemed designed to serve as a Hollywood calling card; he's now nabbed a studio assignment with the poster girl for maternal-concern thrillers. But once the inevitable final descent into ridiculousness happens, neither Schwentke's technical panache nor Foster's first-rate brow-furrowing can save the movie from severe altitude sickness.Author: DF
