Suspension of disbelief is important for any dramatic film, but in the case of this thriller it is vital. We are expected to accept that a widow loses her six-year-old daughter during a flight from Berlin to New York, and none of her co-passengers notice a thing. There are some tense and powerful moments, but on the whole, this is a very silly film indeed.
