  1. A tense, concise and elegantly shot film.

    Has a routine finish but up to that point is a more than decent thriller--or, given its taut self-containment, a more than decent Hitchcockian "exercise in suspense."

    An enthralling, enjoyable if ultimately far-fetched thriller.

    This movie was great id go see it if i were u.
  3. Started off pretty tense and exciting, but as it nears to the end, it's definitely not as tense as it should have been. The plot is ridiculous as well - how could Kyle (Jodie Foster) mess with the whole plane, scaring the crap of out everyone and not get arrested, even if her child is at danger? My score: 62/100 Expand

    The plot is absurb at best however the acting is excellent all around and that saves it from being truely horrible.
