Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCillian Murphy wanted the role of Jackson so badly that he took a plane from England to Hollywood two days before his wedding to have lunch with Wes Craven. Craven later gave him the part saying that his eyes won him over.
- GoofsYou can see when Jackson is throwing Lisa against the walls in the bathroom that he really has his hand behind her head. It was later revealed that Cillian Murphy did this on purpose. In an earlier take, he accidentally knocked Rachel McAdams out and wanted to prevent it from happening again.
- Quotes
Lisa Reisert: [on the plane] So what is it you do?
Jackson Rippner: Government overthrows, flashy high-profile assassinations. The usual.
Lisa Reisert: O.K. Why don't you just tell me what you do?
Jackson Rippner: I already did.

This film is a great thriller. McAdams' and Mruphy's performances are above average. There are some funny scenes here and there. A good thing about this movie is that she finds out ways to ask for help without Jack knowing. But Jack soon finds out and Lisa's plan is destroyed. The way that she asks for help could be done in REAL life instead of in the movie. The end kinda goes over the top over realism but it's a movie.
This is also a really short movie that can be seen so many times that you won't get tired of it. The film starts off to be a romantic comedy but soon turns into a thriller. It ends with the big finale when Jack chases Lisa out of the plane. Almost 75% of the film took place on the plane, which the previews are always on the plane. Flightplan is another airplane thriller that is really good. Wes Craven captures the really terrifying moments in the movie. This is his first thriller he has ever directed and it's a good movie.
This movie will keep you to the edge-of-your-seats. This is a thrilling movie. Just sit back and enjoy the movie as it is.
