Another enjoyable movie. Jodie Foster is great in the role of Kyle Pratt, a recently widowed mother whose husband was killed in an accident. Kyle is traveling from Berlin to New York with her 6-year-old daughter when the unthinkable happens and her daughter disappears. She searches the plane (which is much bigger and more impressive than any plane on which I've flown) to no avail. She enlists the help of the flight crew. The only problem is that there's no record of her daughter ever being on board. None of the flight crew or passengers remember whether or not a little girl was ever with Kyle. They believe that maybe her recent loss has caused her to snap and imagine her daughter was with her. Kyle understandably gets more and more upset as more time passes and her daughter remains missing, but this only makes her look more unbalanced. She is on her own in trying to find her daughter.
The movie was a little slow to get started, but after that it was suspenseful and entertaining. In general, I like Jodie Foster; if you like her, you'll probably like this. One did have to suspend disbelief at times. I never thought anyone could be that hard to find on a plane, even though it was a much bigger plane than any I've flown on. I did enjoy it, however.
