	Blu-ray Review: Flightplan \| High-Def Digest
		In fact, 'Flightplan' was originally written for a male lead until Foster stepped in, which only further proves her weight in Hollywood: if you have the power to get a script greenlit and retooled for your distinct persona, you must be doing something right.
		Lest one think from reading this that 'Flightplan' is somehow some sort of art film, there are a couple of moments of typical bombast in which the surrounds are more pronounced, namely the film's eye-rolling conclusion.
		'Flightplan' is a thriller with a set-up is so good that it is impossible to not to be disappointed by its rote conclusion.

	Flightplan - ComingSoon.net DVD Reviews
		Flightplan uses every parent's fear of losing a child as the basis for its suspense.
		In Flightplan, Kyle faces just such a crisis and it's made worse by the fact that people don't believe she really had a child on the plane in the first place.
		Flightplan is good for some light entertainment and dumb fun, but not much more.

	Filmtracks: Flightplan (James Horner)
		In Flightplan, Jodie Foster is taking her daughter across the world on a flight to address the death of her husband, riding on a newly designed super-aircraft which Foster's character helped engineer.
		To understand why the music for Flightplan starts and stops, builds hope and the deflates, and generally exists in a sort of dazy lack of focus, the relationship between Horner's direction and Foster's immediate frame of mind seems the be the key.
		The recording quality of Flightplan is well executed, with the percussion-heavy orchestra (no brass, eight piano performers) easily allowing for the lighter elements of woodwinds and percussion to be enjoyed clearly...

	DVD Times - Flightplan
		Flightplan is a Jodie Foster vehicle through and through, to the extent that the other participants on either side of the camera scarcely seem to matter.
		In a sense, Flightplan stays much truer to the central gimmick of using its deliberately setting to evoke tension, remaining on board the plane for the duration of the movie, whereas, in Red Eye, not only the final act but also the main threat located on the ground.
		Flightplan is a film that provides no real challenge for either the cast, the crew or the viewer, but it is a slickly produced affair and is certainly watchable enough provided you don't set your expectations too high.

	Flightplan Review :: Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Such is the dilemma posed in Flightplan, but like any good suspense thriller, it's best not to spoil things by talking about it too much.
		This is sort of the case with Flightplan.
		Flightplan also plays upon the fearfulness and distrust in air travel these days, as did the recent taut thriller Red-Eye.

	FLIGHTPLAN - WIDESCREEN DVD
		The solution is so twisty and specious that it makes absolutely no sense and requires, besides, that Kyle possess a detailed knowledge of explosives and, ultimately, that she demonstrate a puzzling lack of concern for the child for whom she's spent the whole film chewing scenery.
		Marooned in Flightplan, then, is a premise that pings off the things in our innate nature that are most sacred and animal: the instinct to protect your child; the fear of being falsely-accused; the fear of being plotted against; the fear of being perceived as insane; and the fear of actually being insane.
		Its best moments are therefore those where Kyle's fear is at fever pitch--when a cabin-ful of people look at her in mute judgment (or join in ironic, hostile applause), for instance, or when she's convinced by positions of authority that her child was, in fact, a phantasm created by grief.

	Flightplan - Rotten Tomatoes
		Flightplan is well worth seeing for the first 45 minutes to an hour, but unfortunately the third act goes down in flames.
		Flightplan isn't the most intense thriller to roar down the runway, but provides its own sort of satisfaction.
		Flightplan is sillier and more outlandish than Red Eye, and ultimately less effective, but it’s still fun and certainly not boring.

		Not only is she gone, but nobody on the plane remembered seeing the girl and the flight manifest shows no trace of the girl ever being on board.
		It’s a sign of the times when you can’t make a movie about plane trouble without throwing some Arabs into the mix, but it worked for the story, even if it was in a nice liberal hunky dory way.
		Flightplan is a very short and driven thriller that takes place almost entirely on the plane.

	DVD review of Flightplan (Widescreen) - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		If I revealed everything that happens in the 2005 thriller "Flightplan" you'd realize that most of it is pretty far-fetched; so preposterous, in fact, and yet presented so straight, that it would sound like a total disaster of a movie.
		It works because enough of it catches our attention and keeps us guessing that we don't entirely mind that the last third falls into clichés; and the performance of star Jodie Foster is so good, she helps us forget just how absurd the whole thing can really be.
		I think most people looking for a decent thriller will find it in "Flightplan." It's not a great movie because it takes the easy way out at the end, but it holds your attention long enough to get your money's worth.

	Flightplan DVD at Video Universe
		Three years is a lifetime in Hollywood, but Foster is one of the few stars who can afford to take such a lengthy hiatus from the industry and still command major roles on her return.
		Robert Schwentke's FLIGHTPLAN is the movie Foster chose as her comeback vehicle; playing the recently widowed Kyle Pratt, she sticks close to PANIC ROOM territory, delving further into fear and isolation as her character boards an airplane to escort her dead husband's body from Berlin to New York.
		Kyle brings her young daughter Julia (Marlene Lawston) on the plane with her, and they fly on a craft that was designed by the grieving widow during her tragic tenure in Berlin.

	Flightplan \| The A.V. Club
		Flightplan attempts the more audacious possibility of a kidnapping in the main cabin, where presumably no one can hide (or be hidden) without virtually being in someone's lap.
		When the big twist finally arrives in the second act, the grand design turns out to be pretty ingenious, though it relies on such an improbable sequence of events to take place that it might as well have coincided with a lunar eclipse.
		Flightplan received a new title after the marketing department deemed its original name, Jodie's Sexy Non-Stop Thrill Ride, a little too sensationalistic.

	Flightplan (2005) Jodie Foster
		Jodie Foster is a fine actress and has portrayed a wide range of characters from "Silence of the Lambs", "Somersby" and "The Accused" to Anna and the King.
		"Flightplan" has the same intensity of Foster's 2002 movie "Panic Room", in which she stars as a terrified mother who hides in a room with her daughter as three men search for money they believe is in somewhere in the house.
		Flightplan and Panic Room (2002) are available from Amazon.

	Flightplan (2005)
		That movie enjoyed a similar theme in which a mother is led to question the presence of her child.
		Of course, when we down to the truth of the matter, everything becomes unhinged due to its inherent absurdity, but I was too invested in things to lose interest.
		Flightplan appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	CNN.com - Review: 'Flightplan' flies high - Sep 23, 2005
		Given Foster's presence, it's easy to tag this film as a reworking of another of her movies, "Panic Room." And there are similarities, notably a fearless mother fighting for her child's life while trapped in a confined space.
		But "Flightplan" takes a different tack, and is a better film for it.
		With her at the controls "Flightplan" flies high as an entertaining, popcorn-munching thriller.

		Three years later, she's at it again in Flightplan, playing a recently bereaved mother who misplaces her six-year-old daughter in another confined space - the cabin of an airliner.
		Her efforts to protect her "cub" leave her bruised, battered and wild-eyed, but we are never in much doubt that she will prevail because she looks a lot smarter than her co-stars.
		Flightplan is the work of Robert Schwentke, a German director who is making the leap to Hollywood.

	UGO.com Film/TV - Review - Flightplan
		Flightplan is nice and smooth, well-made and interesting, until the writers hit some turbulence in the third act, realize they had to write themselves out of an impossible corner and lose all of their engines.
		Flightplan is the kind of nonsensical thriller that you may enjoy while you're on the plane, but as soon as you disembark and start to try and put it back together, you'll realize this bird doesn't fly.
		If Flightplan starred B actors and premiered straight to Cinemax, no one would mind the silly final act, but the setup and the ensemble make the trip that much more bittersweet.

	Flightplan Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Like that film, the actresses latest star vehicle, Flightplan, is a thriller set in a confined space—albeit a massive, double-decker jumbo jet—that depicts a single mother's attempt to save her young daughter.
		The warmth and humor she once displayed (for example, in Little Man Tate) has given way to a chilly stoicism.
		Although she usually comes across as stiff in romantic roles, like, Anna and the King, she is boxing herself into a corner by playing a brainy version of the tired "woman in jeopardy" role in Panic Room and, now, Flightplan, which never quite makes it off the runway.

	The Arts Glance
		The film Flightplan, directed by Robert Schwentke and produced by Brian Grazer contained many elements of well-crafted suspense and drama, but the overall plot was found to be disappointing.
		Jodie Foster’s acting was key to capturing the drama of the film, and she did so brilliantly in her role as Kylie Pratt, the girl’s terrified mother.
		My opinion is that, for some reason, Sarsgaard isn't able to carry the part--somehow he can't attain the specific level of depth of motivation called for in the script.

		“Flightplan” is certainly not a bad movie, it does have its ups and downs but does benefit from good direction and a solid script.
		That said "Flightplan" is presented in a 2.35:1 transfer that leaves little room for error.
		Suffice it to say that "Flightplan" sounds a few notches better than the standard DVD counterpart; which is good.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Flightplan" movie review (2005) "Flightplan" review, Robert Schwentke, Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard
		For two smart, nerve-wracking acts, "Flightplan" is a thriller almost worthy of the tag "Hitchcockian," in which Jodie Foster plays a distraught mother whose forlorn 6-year-old girl has disappeared in the middle of an overnight flight from Berlin to New York.
		Already an emotional wreck because her husband has just died -- his coffin is in the cargo hold -- when Kyle Pratt (Foster) wakes up three hours into the flight to discover her daughter gone from her side, she loses it.
		Soon Foster's intense performance of raw emotion and redoubtable maternal instinct is all that's left keeping "Flightplan" in the air, as she sneaks around in the bowels of the plane, which she had once helped design in her job as a propulsion engineer.

	BBC - Movies - review - Flightplan
		In one of those bum coincidences that studios seem unable to avoid, Flightplan touches down just months after Wes Craven's distinctly more entertaining mile-high thriller Red Eye.
		Aside from the location, the films have little in common; Flightplan owes more to Hitchcock's classic The Lady Vanishes with its tale of a grieving wife (Jodie Foster) who loses her daughter on a commercial flight, only to be told by passengers and crew that she was never there in the first place.
		After an exhaustive search of the super-duper jumbo flight (the film is very good at exploring the nooks and crannies behind the public face of air travel), hunky captain Sean Bean concludes that poor old Jodie must be bonkers.
