  1. I rate this title on for age 13 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    A Tense, Riveting Thriller...

    FLIGHTPLAN would be a good thriller for teens and preteens who are eager to see more mature films but who aren't quite ready for the content. Jodie Foster is perfect in her role, and she makes the movie great fun to watch. Violence is the only issue in the movie. A person is scratched in the face after hitting an armrest, and another is hit in the face with a fire extinguisher. There is some blood in the resulting cuts. The overall tone of the movie is threatening and intense, but it never gets edgy or creepy; it's just enough to give the movie an edge-of-your-seat feeling. Language consists of some "godd**n"s and one or two "h*ll"s.

    Great Movie!

    This movie was great I really got into it! The guy below me is right. Its not good for younger kids because it can get a little creepy at some times. I really liked this movie and got a copy to add to my collection.

    One of my favourite thrillers

    This is one of my favourite thrillers, it was very well done, Jodie Foster was fantastic, and it keeps you on the very edge of your seat. There is a bit of language, but other than that, the only iffy thing is the tense situations.

    good thriller

    If you want a suspensful thriller without gore and disturbing images this is a good choice.

    Clean suspense thriller, PG-13 a good rating

    All about a mom's love for a daughter. The plot leaves a little to be desired. This is one of the few suspense thrillers you can watch with a little one older than 12. No drugs (one brief reference, but not abuse), no sex, and a brief gunfight at the end, no blood. It is implied that one person dies of an explosion, but this was not graphic at all. Nice & clean.

    Great story line, maybe too intense if afraid of flying

    My family saw this movie together (kids ages 11 and 14), and we all liked it. It is intense, the buildup of fear when the daughter can't be found is strong. I liked that there was resolution at the end, and my 11-year-old understood the story line. She is a little nervous about flying, but this movie did not affect her in that way. The movie keeps you interested every minute.

    It's just a so-so movie

    This was an okay movie. My 13-year-old daughter liked it. There were no big surprises. I figured out the bad guy in nearly the first scene. The girl was a surprise though. Jodie's facial expressions never changed. It didn't leave you feeling anything--neither good or bad. It was just a so-so movie...not awful, but not really good either.

    Absolutely astonishing

    This movie was so beyond amazing, and I LOVED Peter Sarsgaard. Wicked cool guy! Anyway. Sex: Nothing really. Violence: A person hits an armrest and gets a scratch on her face, another gets hit with a fire extinguisher, and there is blood on his ear and face. Language: A dozen profanities include several s-words and abuses of God’s name (“g--d--n,” “Jesus,” “Christ”). This was a really good movie, and I highly recommend it, particularly on ClearPlay DVD Player (clearplay.com)

    A very suspenseful movie...

    I saw this movie at a sleepover with some of my friends. I really wanted to watch a scary movie, but a lot of the people there were "scardy cats" so we decided to watch Flight Plan. It was just perfect for them, not very scary at all and very interesting to watch. I kept wanting to scream at the people that she was telling the truth about her daughter being on the plane! It made me angry that no one would believe her until I found out why...This is a must-see!

    I cried at the end, Flightplan a thriller!

    I am 10 years old, and when I first saw the preview, I thought "Wow, scary and intense, but a good movie for my dad." Well, I came home one day and found out my Mom and Grandmother were watching 'Flightplan'. My mother said it would be okay if we watched it together. I loved it! Yes, it's true, Jodie Foster spit out some crude words in the search for her daughter, but it is a fact that it ends just perfectly, with a rich plot and and deep action. Some ten-year-olds might not like or understand this, and for some parents, watching thsi langyuage and action is just to intense. My parents have always said I have an odd taste for movies.

    Entertaining, worth renting

    Flightplan was an entertaining movie, but do not expect a great movie. Do not worry about it being scary. It is suspenseful, but nothing is freaky or anything like that. There is one 'b' word, but other than that there was no bad language. The violence is only at the end when a gun is shot at the main character. No one is hurt. I recommend this movie to families who are looking for a fun, suspenseful movie. Recommended for ages 10+

    Mile a Mintue

    This movie would be good for kids ages 12 if it weren't for some violence. It is a movie that you have to pay extra clsoe attention to. Every word they say plays a major part of the climax of the movie. It was a really good mystery movie I think teens my age would enjoy.

    Best Movie Ever

    I thought that this movie was good but very suspensful. Although I figured out the kidnapper from the first seen they did a good job at hiding it later on here was some mild swaring. There was also a big scene were it looks like a plaine crashes

    I LOVED IT!! But it was scary.

    FLIGHTPLAN was a great movie! Very well done, SCARY, but I love scary movies. Any kids under about 11 or 12 shouldn't see it if they don't like scary movies. It was not very realistic in some ways, yet Freaky in others. The thing that made it less scary than it could've been was that Jodie Foster knew the Plane so well. Scared me most of the time. It was also kind of Complicated. But if you're a scary thriller fan, this movie's right for you!!!
