Flightplan

the characters lack depth....is where all the romance of the story is lurking..... ... Full Review

Flightplan starts well Flightplan felt like every kind of flight I've been on - the take off is much more exciting than the landing. I become more and more convinced that no one knows exactly what to do with Jodie Foster... ... Full Review

With two and a half good acts out of three and a charismatic Jodie Foster holding at the centre, Flightplan warrants the fare for paying passengers.

it is almost funny..... ... Full Review
