    Not worth it

    A great story ruined by a very poor script, bad direction and pathetic acting (except that of Victoria Pratt). With a much better script, direction and cast, this could have been a winner!

    Late night TV grade insomnia special

    A dirtbag senator kills a woman, and all that stands between him and acquittal, we're to believe, is a clear video of him murdering the girl. The quick-witted senator comes up with a foolproof plan: have an FBI agent delete the video and he'll get off scott free!

    Sure he will.

    The video in unequivocal and has been seen by dozens of people. Even without the video they can all attest to what they saw. Ooops. The senator wasn't wearing gloves and touched the girl in various places on her body. DNA. Ooops. People saw the two of them leave together. Ooops. Even without the video the case against the senator is compelling.

    Fitting the plot is the terrible acting. Dina Meyer plays an FBI agent with zero skills or training. She's a helpless victim the entire run of the movie. She deduces that the kidnappers aren't going to let her family go regardless, not to mention she herself has seen a kidnapper's face, yet she complies with their demands anyway. How stupid is she? If they're sentenced to die, grab Victoria, beat the location out of her, call the cavalry, and hold her as hostage. Victoria Pratt is her usual unconvincing self. Nothing to see here. The woman can't act. Everyone else gives a soap opera or lower grade performance.

    Three stars for a movie with three sets.

    Could have been better

    I do not know why people are rating this thriller less than 5. I found this very fast moving and good edge of the seat thriller.. Of course there are many loopholes.. But, if you forget the loopholes, then you can definitely enjoy this thriller.

    Speechless

    There was nothing to this film except boring clichés and mediocrity. The acting, the plot, the direction, the dubbing (I watched in italian), the dialogue... nothing above second-rate and dim. The implausibility of the dialogues (scattered with improbable pauses and unbearably dull and emotionless expressions) and total disconnect from reality of the settings and overall environment left me honestly flabbergasted. I seriously hope a 7 year old scripted and approved the financing of this movie because the professionalism and creativity is just not there.

    Not even enjoyable for a trash film's standard. Total waste of time.

    Outstanding movie

    Its an outstanding movie. Well made, well thought about. The curiosity really builds up because of the actions in the flight. A must watch, binge worthy moviefor a perfect weekend!

    • Trivia
      Also known as "Flight 192"
    • Goofs
      The technology plot holes abound. The FBI would use secure video conferencing for a briefing in 2016, not require a supervisory agent to fly across the country. The "fix" could not work as depicted, since the LAPD would have a copy of the footage, plus deleted files can be recovered. The FBI would have no control over LAPD footage. Next, the IP address of the bad hair gun thug could be determined just by having Michelle's laptop. They did not need to wait for him to be online as stated. In the most glaring one, the son uses his cell phone to call 9-1-1. In a kidnapping case, the FBI would be tracking all phones any family member may have. The son's phone would have allowed them to find him easily. The "tech" agent says the line has to be open to trace the phone, which is wrong- as long as the phone is on, it is connected to towers and can be traced.
