This is a good film, but the pacing and plot has always been a bit strange to me. The first half is quite normal, where the killer has to be found. The killer is revealed at around halfway, and the second half takes place on an airplane where the pilots are sick and the plane must be landed safely. The way the film was made is bit strange, but the story is still very satisfying and intense. In the end, the plots sort of connect so it is executed quite well. If you can look past this odd plotting, the film is very good. There are plenty of memorable scenes, especially in the second half, and there is good character development. My only other complaint would be that the culprit is not particularly threatening so it may be a slight letdown to some viewers, but the story is very clever nontheless.
