The Not-Very-Timely Movie Review – Flightplan

First: Hi my name is Carson and I’m an Air Marshall.  My flight attendant girlfriend and I have come up with a way to steal 50 million dollars from the airline she works for.  All we have to do is agitate someone into acting crazy and causing a disturbance on the plane and then tell...
