The Holy Quest for the Plot
Ladies and Gentlemen, it will all be reveiled to you now:
!!!SPOILERS!!!
Jodie Foster WAS the actual terrorist.
She drugged her daughter, placed her in the nose of the plane, tore up the boarding pass .... etc. When the stewardess came 'round counting passengers, she told the girl to "hide under her cloak" .....
I mean - honestly - who else could have done it? Take her own daughter to the lavatories, discard of the boarding pass, open the coffin with the explosives? Maybe she was gambling that no Marshall would be on board. But making up a story of a child missing was simply heart-warming enough for her plan to still go through. And blaming innocent Arabs to put people off her scent was just ingenious.
Okay, there's ONE big plot hole:
The motive. Why would she do it?
Pick one:
- Husband ain't dead. They killed a random guy and now he's waiting for her & the cash in Cuba.
- The freight room contained a shippment of jewellery, that she would hide in the kids Teddie before blowing it up.

I'd say, my plot is pretty tight! I mean: compared to the original ...
