“If someone took everything you live for – how far would you go to get it back?”

“Flightplan” attempts to answer the movie’s tagline using a little girl and an unbelievably large airplane. The film was written by Peter A. Dowling and Billy Ray and directed by RobertSchwentke stars Jodie Foster (“Silence of the Lambs”) and Peter Sarsgaard (“Garden State”)

Kyle Pratt, played by Foster, is escorting her daughter Julia, played by Marlene Lawston, to New York from Berlin after her husband dies in an accident. Shortly after the airplane takes off, the two move to some empty seats in the back to sleep. Kyle awakes a few hours later to discover Julia is missing.

Subsequently she begins the frantic madness and redundant chanting of, “Where’s my daughter?”

From here, the searching and conspiracy theories began to unfold.

The airline crew is very apathetic and flighty ?” not one of them remembers seeing her daughter on board nor do they care. It’s not only the airline crew that does not remember her daughter, none of the other passengers — not even the children sitting next them do.

Foster’s acting is strong; she plays a frantic, distressed mother very well (“Panic Room”), and being creepy seems to come natural for Sarsgaard. However, these two just can’t seem to carry the movie’s weak plot.

Lucky for the viewer with a running time of 88 minutes, it’s hard to get bored.

The movie’s plot and those involved were too predictable and nothing seems to truly connect.

The motive and actions taken to execute the plot were extremely far-fetched and highly unbelievable.

Put this one low on your cinematic itinerary or just wait for DVD.
