For a while this is a passable thriller, aided by some flashy direction and ever-reliable Jodie Foster in the lead (looking even more stressed out and miserable than usual). It felt a bit too familiar to
Red Eye and
The Lady Vanishes but had some creepy moments. Then the mystery is solved and its half an hour or so of a ticking clock and Jodie punching out the villain and an overlong climax. Might have been better if they'd increased the "other-ness" of other people on the plane a la
Lady Vanishes. Too many people can speak English. Could have used some humour.
