            Uncompromising Kyle refute's the findings and starts blaming other passengers for kidnapping her child inside the plane,mid-air.This spreads panic among the passengers and leads to unrest.Captain calmly asks her about her motive of this flight and Kyle tells him about her husbands death and the coffin.Captain and the crew draws conclusion that Kyle is mentally unstable and all her deeds are out from her imagination and recurring dreams.So they decide to hand cuff Kyle an leaves her under Gene Carson's supervision.Kyle asks for a toilet break and then hell breaks lose inside the flight leading into an emergency stopover in Goose Bay Airport.Captain and crew alerts the authorities on ground to arrest and take away Kyle at the airport.

               But certain questions needs to be answered here before I go ahead.
1. Is Kyle really unstable mentally,and Julia and her presence is just an imagination??!!
2.Is it really possible to kidnap a child mid air in a tube like a plane??!!
3.Did the crew members wholeheartedly search the plane??!!
4.Is there a big plot involved in all this incidents??!!
5.Is Kyle,who herself is an expert in aircraft designing cooking up a story to hijack the plane for money??!!

           These questions need answers and if you need then,watch this exhilarating thriller as soon as possible.The movie is so fast paced and exciting proving your wildest imaginations wrong.A never heard before plot,an excellent script and great making helps this movie to be enlisted as one of the finest suspense thrillers of all time.Jodie Foster is such a composed and talented actress of our generation,she depicts Kyle to maximum impeccability.I cant imagine any other actress playing this character with this much conviction.An exceptional movie,NEVER TO BE MISSED.

TIP OF THE DAY : MEN WILLINGLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY WISH.
