2 Federal Guidelines that scriptwriters toss aside...

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2014)

Don't get me wrong, folks; I loved this movie, even though fellow movie buffs like myself will say its too much like Flight-Plan, w/Jody Foster. Here is what I would like all scriptwriters and screenwriters to take note of when composing a viable airplane in crisis movie: Never assume that you will always have GPS text messaging at 30,000 feet, because unless it is a military or govt. satellite phone, no one can text and receive messages till before or after landing. Maybe someday, but not currently. 2ndly: The cockpit door is always locked shut,simply because of 9/11. Some planes have a small lavatory opposite the jump seat utilized by a flight engineer or navigator, or off-duty pilot "jumping" from origin to destination w/o being a paying customer. I know for a fact, if anyone in that cockpit needs to come out to use the lavatory or take in sustenance, 3 flight attendants are required to shut down the kitchen/1st class lavatory bay and maintain a fire watch perimeter while that door is compromised...In this very exciting movie, you have to suspend your disbelief simply to enjoy the flow of the show, knowing that in real life, it would never happen this way. Oh, and for the record, your list of possible suspects that you think are the bad guys or bad girls w/in the first 30min.s??? Well, rethink it, because you will never guess till 2/3rds of the movie who it really is, which means, that no matter what people say about this being a repeat of Taken 3, or Flight Plan2...the twists and turns will make you think otherwise.
