Détresse en plein ciel

This is a slightly comical airplane thriller. It's both deliberately and inadvertently funny almost laugh out loud so. Lacey Chabert stars as a publishing assistant in charge of a controversial manuscript. When bringing it with her on a flight to Europe she encounters some strange events and things and people go missing. Lacey is quite a good actress she just has to modulate her voice not to sound too silly.

The head stewardess is hilarious. Things are quite neatly done as you can expect. Worth one watch. Not bad for a lightweight lifetime thriller. This movie has the same name as the subsequent Liam Neeson big budget thriller that came out last year.

What stinker this was, this movie blew, but Lacey is hot.

This has soap opera style acting and production design - with a real quirky, hammy vibe... But I had to watch the whole thing. The mystery just got to me, and the story unfolded in a intriguing way. A lot of the characters don't act like real people which kind adds to the off kilter doubt-your-own-sanity plotline. Cheesy and weird but a strangely fun watch

FIRST CLASS FEAR is a ridiculous plane-based thriller that feels like one of those TV 'movies of the week'. It sees a bumbling heroine drawn into a ridiculous plot on board a Transatlantic flight and suffering from the usual problems, namely a lack of evidence and disbelief on the part of everybody else. The only way I could sit through this was to treat it as an unintentional comedy, because the plot is so very, very silly.

Lead actress Lacey Chabert once found fame of sorts in MEAN GIRLS but nowadays is content to while away her days making TV movies. This film vaguely resembles the equally poor Jodie Foster film FLIGHTPLAN although it has an ending stolen from RED EYE. Supporting cast members include SAW's Betsy Russell and old timers Bo Svenson and Veronica Cartwright. The acting is wooden across the board (particularly in Russell's case) and the eventual solving of the mystery turns the whole thing into a laughing stock.

I really liked this movie. It was put together well enough for me. It had enough variety in it that it was not overdone; it was very different from other movies I've seen.

All the characters added a lot of mystery for me so I didn't feel their acting was terrible.

I didn't know what would happen next.

The ending added to the attraction for me.

It was not depressing and foreboding like some movies I've seen. I'm not sure why it has so many poor reviews. Maybe it was too cheesy for others, but not for me.

I don't review many movies at all, nor other things I buy; but I enjoyed this so much, I wanted to review it.
