A great quote from Stephanie (Kate Beahan), a airline stewardess, says it best [over the intercom] "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we've got a first to report. It seems our aircraft is big enough to lose a child in. Her name is Julia Pratt (Marlene Lawston), six years old, she is wearing a navy blue jumper. If she's anywhere near you or perhaps playing with one of your kids, please press the call button now. We've got an anxious mom up here. Thank you. "
Be sure and catch this when are in the mood not to be interrupted. It usually takes a while to get into this film as some film take time to develop.
I'll give this a 4/5 for the riveting performance of Jodie Foster and the Ending.

This psychological/action thriller has twists & turns
Jodie Foster gives an ...excellent performance in this psychological/action thriller. She is flying to the U.S.A. from Europe in a jet (a magnificent one) she helped to design, bringing home the body of a loved one. All of the crew and passengers do not believe she brought her daughter onboard or even if she exists at all. Fosters' character fights to make anyone believe her,the passengers are cruel to her, even when they think she is mentally ill. The movie has twists and turns and even though it is not Fosters' best movie, it is pretty well done.
It is very tough to make a really good movie tha...t only takes place in an airplane, for there is only so many places they can go to throughout the plane. I found this movie to be very well directed and kept you guessing until close to the end of the movie. What is even more scary about the movie though, is that it is not to far off of reality. There are a lot of sick people out there with alterior motives that people fall victim to.
Over all it was a great thriller/drama and I recommend it to those who like those kind of movies.
This is one of Jodie's best films. At first, you ha...ve a feeling that this is predictable and you already know the ending. You have it figured out. In fact, you could have written the story yourself. But, I found myself stumped and sitting on the edge of my seat in suspense. It does not end how you think it will. Basically the entire story takes places on a plane that her & her daughter board after a death in the family. They are in a state of shock. After awaking from a nap, Jodie finds that her daughter is missing. In a panic, she seeks out help, but only to find that no one ever saw her daughter. They don't even feel for her situation. In fact, they explain her daughter is dead. She never boarded the plane. Or did she? You will never suspect the ending!
This is a must see for everyone!
The surprise ending when she finds her daughter drugged and the Air... Marshal and flight attendant in league as hijackers so she is exonerated because the Air Marshal convinced the captain that her daughter was not on the plane and tried to make her out to be the hijacker great ending
