She soon finds the answer she's looking for and is then given a choice on how to proceed with a life changing option she's been given.

Review: I was very intrigued by the title of this film and the summary I read prior to watching it. It was a flight thriller and I find that these types of films can keep you on the edge of your seat being that the situation on a flight, when you are thousands of feet in the sky, can add to this edge of your seat feeling.

One of the first things I observed was the cinematography. It impressed me throughout the whole film. The camera angles and lighting drew me in to the film. There were close up angles of the character's faces that gave you that feeling of suspicion that they could be a sinister player. The way the camera angled in and moved about with close ups almost caused like a distortion of their facial features which added to the suspense that made you not sure if the character was good or bad. The dim lighting in many areas of the film encouraged that eerie curiosity that something could pop up unbeknownst to the main character, Claire, as she was doing her own investigation of what was really happening to her. The flight looked realistic expect for the fact that there was only about 10 people in total on board. The way the people were spread out on board added to the eeriness of not being sure who were the bad apples and who would sincerely help Claire out.

Another positive aspect to this film was its use of the score. The music used in this film matched the thriller type genre and suspenseful personality it was meant to convey. With each increase in to Claire's courageous moves, the music matched and complimented her bravery and struggle to find out what was really going on.

The advertisements and summaries for this film made this film come across as intriguing and one that would draw you in to keep you guessing what comes next. I read many comments and reviews of this film and found that the majority of people who watched it found that it did not have enough detail and background. Many people gave this film a thumbs down rating because of this. There were comments that the lighting and music was great and the acting was good but the film left you with questions about what was really going on in the movie. I have to agree with the majority of reviewers in regards to that aspect of the film. The film jumps right from her being in her home, taking a jog, meeting up with her friend and meeting Marco in the bar all in a matter of maybe 15 minutes. There was not enough background in to her personality, her social life, what her dad was like, what she did in her job, etc. This left many questions as to who her character really was and as to why she was put in to the predicament she was in. The film moved from personality to personality on the plane with no clear clues being given as to who the people were surrounding her on this flight. There was not enough information given about Marco and what his role was. The plot idea was very good but, in my opinion, needed a lot more detail written in to the script. It mentions her dad, in the end, but we were not given enough information about her dad in order to draw a strong conclusion about why he was important in the scenario she was in. Also, she was told that they've been "watching her." What did that mean? Why were they watching her? What did she accomplish as a young woman in her 20's that gave intrigue and interest to these people enough to do what they did to her? These are the kind of questions that ran through my mind and left me feeling a little confused about the whole premise of the film.

I will give this film a rating. I give it 5stars out of 10. Again, the lighting, the music, the acting was all good. The plot and whole concept of the film was great. The reason for the 5 out of 10 stars was because I felt confused at times for lack of detail. I craved to know more about the characters and see the main characters act out more of their personality and part in the whole situation Claire was placed in.

Whoever commissioned this movie needs to be forever barred from a movie set in the future. Most of the time, I can give an awful movie a fair chance and hope that things turn around. After seeing the reviews here, I prepared myself for the worst and knew it would be a failure.

The funniest thing is at the beginning when these two attractive women were ogling at a Neanderthal-looking being who hasn't cut his hair in five years. Also, When you see only a handful of passengers on an overseas flight, that already tells you something is amiss. All in all, the story is unexplained.

The writers stretched a potential Twilight Zone episode into 90 minutes of nonsense and predictability. Nothing is noteworthy, except perhaps for the music.

The movie was a bit jumbled, and never quite understood where the movie was going. I wish there was more to the movie as far as explaining what was happening during the movie. The idea was good, but left more contusion. The acting wasn't bad, which is why the movie was easy to get through, and the story line left enough to keep a person watching to see what the outcome was going to be.

This movie is something I would recommend to a person, if that person were asking for a somewhat decent movie to keep them occupied for an hour and a half. Is this a must see movie? Not by any means, but again it does enough.

There's no way to even include spoilers because nothing happened. I could tell what the ending was before the half hour mark and usually I'm impressed by that feat but this time I was disappointed because I guessed the ending and the movie decided it didn't want to elaborate. There's no payoff, no explanation, no reason, and it's a shame because the premise was intriguing. Good job not writing a story. The reviews here praising anything about the finished product is fabricated.

Girl gets drugged wakes up on plane. Tries to figure out what's going on. Fails. Gets invited to an unknown organization. Roll credits.

So Gravitas Ventures has produced some really good indie movies, but this one was NOT one of them.

First of all the camerawork and lighting was terrible. The colours were very bland. Picture sharpness below average.

Now the story line was also terrible. It took a long time to get to the point and the point was pathetic.

This was a poor copycatting of Miss Bala (the American version not the Mexican original). Granted Miss Bala's story line was different to this one, but the endings of both were slightly similar.

To cut a long story short, there were no thrills, no suspense, no real action, just a continuous drab. The acting was nothing to brag about.

I am disappointed in seeing Ashley Jones in this. She is a very good actress, and just as well she only had a minor part in this.

Do not watch this movie no matter how bored you are and you need to do something!
