  • Starring: Brian Cox, Cillian Murphy, Rachel McAdams
  • Summary: Wes Craven presents a suspense thriller at 30,000 feet. Lisa Reisert (McAdams) hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with fear of flying. Moments after takeoff, Lisa's seatmate Jackson (Murphy), menacingly reveals that he is an operative in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security -- and Lisa is the key to his success.

    Will keep you awake, jittery and perched on the edge of your seat for pretty much the entire flight.

    After nearly a decade of duds, Wes Craven reasserts his claim to being a master of suspense with this solid little airborne thriller.

    A one-trick action thriller that feels like a poor cousin of an episode of ''24." Call it ''12."

    This movie gets a C+. It is an average movie, but well done. If you are a Craven fan, you will identify with his style. The acting was well done. I personally thought it was far fetched and cheeky. Well done, but cheese ball with a kind of incredulous plot line.… Expand

    Stays on plot and moves right along. Otherwise it's pretty much disposable.
