Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) is a hotel manager on a late night plane back to Miami. She keeps running into Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy). He ends up sitting next to her on the plane. She strikes up a conversation with him, but he threatens to have her father killed if she doesn't change the room reservation of an important visitor.
This is a nice tight little thriller as long as they're on the plane. The plane confines her, and heightens the tension. It works quite well. It needs to stay on the plane. With a few changes, the whole movie could have been great if they kept the movie all in the air.
Once they leave the plane, the movie loses so much tension. It was also illogical that she couldn't ask people for a phone. It could have ended with a couple of calls. The whole action final third is unnecessary and unreasonable.
