Passengers
Rodrigo Garcia


It would be safe to say that this will not be part of your in-flight entertainment.
After a plane crash, Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway) is assigned to counsel the survivors. When one of them turns out to be the charming Patrick Wilson (above,as the seemingly in denial Eric), you know that professional lines are going to be crossed.
The film cannot decide if it wants to be a conspiracy thriller, a romance or a family reconciliation drama and lurches distractingly from one genre to the next.
Director Rodrigo Garcia drops hints with his sombre colour palette that there is something else going on here but the last act is still preposterous.
