What to Know

Critics Consensus

The actors are all on key here, but as the movie progress, tension deflates as the far-fetched plot kicks in.

The alternations between reality and illusion could have been intriguing but the filmmaker doesn't want to go on that track at all. Go to Full Review

It's always a bad sign in a thriller when the big reveal is greeted by hoots of derisive laughter. Go to Full Review

A disposable B-movie without much excitement or ingenuity. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ 02/25/2021
3.5/5
Fans of action flicks will lap this up, but for those expecting an adult thriller, the 11th-hour diversion into unexpected territory is unwelcome turbulence, marring what, up until then, had been a slick, smooth and extremely enjoyable ride. Go to Full Review

3/5
Has there been an abduction, or is this a figment of a rattled mind? Nothing becomes clear until late in the film, by which time you should be fully gripped by this bizarre mystery. Go to Full Review

Sets up its premise quickly, then simply has nowhere to go. Go to Full Review

L B Nov 26 I thought it was a decent film and don’t understand the low rating…… Yes the plot is a little far fetched but I’ve watched worse films with higher ratings….. all down to personal tastes I guess! See more Andy S Oct 4 So the plot makes no actual sense. I was all ready for it to be a whats real vs whats in her head kinda like Shutter Island. Only for it to be in fact a nonsensical conspiracy hijacking thing. Also no one involved in this film has ever been on a plane before because the aircraft is insanely large and filled with nothing. See more Martin F Sep 15 Strong Jodie Foster, idiotic script. Enjoy the first 60‘ and then shut off, imagining how amazing they could be. In reality the last 30’ make no sense whatsoever and border on an unintentional parody. See more Thalles F Sep 11 Honestly, i don't understand the bad rating. There are movies much worse than this one with better ratings. See more Marcella B Aug 13 So it wasn’t awful. But pretty early on clear what the plot is. No surprises.. also the actress mom for some reason made me even want to root against her. Wouldn’t recommend. See more Luis R Aug 4 Even after 18yrs on; was still a good movie, to think how things used to be with travel. Also, great cast. However; story could still have been more polished.
