    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Jodie Foster's role was originally written for Sean Penn. The original character's name of "Kyle" was even kept. Coincidentally, Penn's role in The Game (1997) was originally intended for Jodie Foster.
    • Goofs
      Over the course of the movie, Kyle's search for her daughter takes us further and further into the various compartments and holds of the aircraft, eventually taking us into areas far beneath flight deck. The problem here is with the layout of the bowels of the aircraft. As shown, this airliner's computer room is large and cavernous, with much empty and unused space. In reality, virtually every square inch of any passenger liner has a purpose, and with the exception of passenger and crew areas, every other part of an airliner is unbelievably cramped, filled with cargo, electronics, hydraulics, or emergency equipment. Such a waste of space, as depicted in this film, simply wouldn't exist.

      Mr. Loud: I wish you guys would do that with bricks once in a while. That way it would end faster!

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits roll over a blue wire frame animation of the airliner used in the movie.

    Panic Room but in the sky.
    First off, I loved "Panic Room" and Jodie Foster's performance in it. When I first saw the looks of this film, I was very intrigued and thought it was going to be a "The Forgotten 2"....i was very wrong.

    What starts off is with Jodie Foster playing a mourning mother after the death of her husband. Her and her daughter catch a flight to go stay with Foster's grandparents, however, after Jodie's character falls asleep, the daughter is gone....and to make matters worst, she is told that she never existed...

    Sounds like a good premise eh? Well that's what infused me to go and see it. It starts off well but once the daughter goes missing, it went downhill. Jodie's performance throughout is good, not Oscar worthy but it is one of the highlights of the film (as well as the ever-cool Sean Bean.) Unfortunately I can't go into great depth of anything else of the story because of spoilers, but I will say that the ending plot is horrible, totally impossible and so therefore ruins the impact of the film and its good beginning.

    There are also a lot of other things that annoy me about the film, to cut a long list short here are some examples: - a brilliant, new state of the art plane...and there's hardly anyone on board.

    • Foster's character, although confused and frustrated does get annoying after a bit, and seeing as w're meant to identify and sympathise with her, is not a good thing.


    • The overall twist / ending plot is ridiculous, as I stated before.


    My vote is 6/10....go see the film for the enjoyment of Jodie Foster and some thrills. however, do not expect a masterpiece..because this is FAR from great.
