Chicago Sun-Times How can a little girl simply disappear from an airplane at 37,000 feet? By asking this question and not cheating on the answer, "Flightplan" delivers a frightening thriller with an airtight plot. It's like a classic Locked Room Murder, in which the killer could not possibly enter or leave, but the victim is nevertheless dead. Roger Ebert

Reelviews Flightplan is the latest motion picture to take an intriguing premise and flush it into the septic tank. Despite the participation of selective, talented actress Jodie Foster and a screenplay that borrows heavily from The Lady Vanishes, Flightplan can't avoid falling apart during its final half-hour. Instead of an intelligent, inventive finale, we are stuck with the same approach employed by every half-baked thriller. James Berardinelli

The Boston Globe Ultimately what makes this picture fly is Foster, who's playing another character who turns jeopardy into vengeance as a rite of motherhood. The last film she carried was David Fincher's "Panic Room," which failed to live up to the formidability of its star. Wesley Morris

San Francisco Chronicle Just the gimmick of "Flightplan" is enough to hook audiences: A woman gets on an airplane with her 6-year-old daughter, takes a nap, and when she wakes up, her daughter is gone. Vanished. Even worse, no one has seen her, and the flight crew starts suspecting that the little girl was never on the plane at all. Mick LaSalle
