...went back and checked, and sure enough, nada in the two Boston dailies or the four weeklies. Huh! Then I saw in Entertainment Weekly that the studio had not screened it for critics, and we all know what *that* means, so I went to Rotten Tomatoes. And there you may go too, to behold the rottenist set of reviews you'll ever see, I think. Typical:"The movie imparts a fear of flying, all right -- but only because it reminds you of the dross you're usually forced to watch up there."
-- Steve Schneider, ORLANDO WEEKLYIn a quick scan I noticed only one encomium, from (wouldn't you know?):
"I do think this is a solid thriller for our times."
-- EBERT & ROEPEREW ended up giving it a solid C.
So, what else is worth watching? Anyone seen March of the Penguins?...

Follow Ups:
about a lack of confidence in one's critical abilities...
The performances of the 3 principal characters make this a must late summer (it really is a summer-type movie) view.
Foster, especially, is terrific.

Certainly not a rave review, but sounded like something worth spending a Sunday afternoon and $6 watching.

I found it very well done and as good as the recent "Red Eye".
