If this is based on reality like it says in the beginning of the film, THEN THIS IS PRETTY SCARY!!
Roughly 10 people wake up on a plane not knowing how they got there.
I did like all of the twists and turns that kept us guessing on what was actually happening.
No spoilers here so I'll just say it's definitely worth a watch if you like a psychological mystery thriller?
I'm going to say this is a 6.5 unfortunately I can't rate it that so I'm going to go with a 7. At least that will help bring up the overall score so people will watch it.
It's no Mission Impossible but it was entertaining.
I was extra surprised that this film was from 2013. It didn't look over 10 years odd at all ! (Not even the Cell Phones lol)

It was an nteresting movie, Though I did not like the ending. All I want to know is what words popped up at the end of the movie Chariot? In the final scene, you see the plane descending and the two F-150's coming up behind it. The screen goes blank, but then it says, "in February 2012 a civilian evacuation program code named operation Chariot was terminated in a closed session of Congress. Five witnesses testified at the hearing, the names of whom remain classified....." It then says something else, but my TV is messed up and I couldn't read it. Can anyone please tell me what the last sentence was?
Decent enough acting and gains some initial interest in wondering what exactly is going on, but after the big reveal it becomes quite mundane.
And you do feel robbed off a proper ending as the movie ends with an endings that are open for interpretation with not much really resolved.
For that type of ending to work to movie as a whole have to have been interesting packed of substance through out, but this isn't one of those movies.
So yeah overall not terribly impressive, there are far better air-plane thrillers to watch such as NON-STOP, FLIGHTPLAN, SNAKES ON A PLANE and RED EYE for instance, heck even ALTITUDE and PANIC BUTTON was better than this.

I've never taken time to write a review here on something along the lines of this type of film. I will hope that my attempts do not spoil this.
An unknown 727 flight with seven passengers on board who wake at nearly the same time. We are taken on a trip at 65,000 feet with these individuals who rather quickly expose their personality types and the view can easily see how each effects the outcome.
The Secretary of Transportation, Government Contractor, IT Expert, Master's Degree Student, Language Specialist, House-wife and a Truck Driver. Interesting, diversified group. What could they have in common?
Cole, the first to wake from his drug induced sleep, becomes the leader of the passengers and the misfit as he didn't belong to the "group". I liked his character and found him to be a believable individual and a likely leader due to his even temper and levelheadedness.
Sadly the strength of the other participants, to included the remaining three individuals, are weak, but are supported by a script that seems to be lacking depth. Confrontations are cold, unfeeling, unrealistic and even seem stiff at times.
The premise is a good one and one that I enjoyed. For a 90 minute film, it did keep me watching due to the story line and I was interested to see how it played out, although I had it nearly pegged about halfway through.
I believe it ended properly. In fact, I am happy that the director and writers decided to end the film the way it did. Had this ended any other way, I think it might have ruined what was already a not-so-great movie.
A watchable film and somewhat likable flick.

Well what can I say about this movie, first off I rarely watch low budget movies, in fact I didn't even realize that this was a low budget movie until I finished watching it and decided to take a peek at what people thought of it.
Wow what can I say a $40,000 budget is to me really simply amazing to come out with such a well done project, the movie is certainly not without flaws but the skills of all involved pull this micro budget off really well.
Bottom line is this movie is a very entertaining time killer and for it to be set on a plane and still keep you interested the whole way through takes some real skill to pull off, plot wise it's not the strongest script to hit the shelfs, but by far nothing worse than most Hollywood big budget movies.
My praise really is not so much the script (not that its bad) but the fact the director/actors and editing is so flawless, basically one of the better movies I've seen in the last 6 months and to find out it was done on a shoe string budget WOW!!
