For me, the problem with Flight Plan was entirely in the script. I can accept horribly convoluted plots in caper films to achieve relatively minor ends. However, I absolutely hate when the bad guys are apparently blessed with omniscience to know the results, well beforehand, of dozens of random choices.

In other words, the plot was so stupid and unrealizable to remove any interest in the film.
