Review

Exciting, packed and well-paced film by German director Robert Schwentke in which the highly selective actress Jodie Foster must search for her missing daughter inside a state-of-the-art airplane which she helped design. The movie begins as a drama, develops into a thriller and then, unfortunately, ends off as a somewhat too slick action movie. The problem isn't that the script doesn't hold up, but rather that it comes off overly plotted. The acting throughout is fine, with Jodie Foster giving a good performance in the not very challenging lead, the talented Peter Sarsgaard looking great but being somewhat confined by a restricting role, and with Sean Bean in a delightfully well-weighted character.
