Finished this script by Mike Le.
The opening is fantastic. A passenger on a plane receives a text stating that he must kill a fellow passenger or his sister and young daughter will be murdered.
Le expertly draws us in with this compelling situation.
The script reminds me a lot of RED EYE. However, Le is unable to sustain the pace of his opening and the pages lose their steam. More complications are required. The problems are solved too easily.
The ending leads right into a sequel which makes me roll my eyes. Sure, there's nothing wrong with a franchise - just make sure you hit the first one out of the park before you assume we'll want more.
