    • Trivia
      There are two kinds of black boxes in modern planes: the FDR (Flight Data Recorder) which record instructions sent to the electronic systems on an aircraft and the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) which records all audio in the flight deck, i.e. ambient noises and pilot discussions. The movie focuses the whole time on the CVR.
    • Goofs
      During the entire movie, Mathieu drives a Peugeot 3008 II. However, in the night scene where he drives to Pollock's house, there are two shots of his car taking a corner. In the first shot, showing the front of the car, it is the Peugeot 3008 II. In the next shot, showing the back of the car, it has inexplicably changed to a Nissan Qashqai II.

    Decent thriller

    A perfect example of what a thriller movie should be. Suspense and intrigue in almost every scene. Neat!

    As a pilot myself(PPL), I can appreciate the plot very much. Despite a few plot wholes, the story gives you quite a realistic perspective of aviation industry's dark side. Well, the first two thirds of it at least. Yeah, for some reason they decided to add a second "twist" and thus they made the movie, that could have claimed "inspired by true events"(check out Netflix documentary about Boeing 737MAX), way less plausible and truthful.

    In conclusion a pretty good thriller with realistic aviation details(mostly) and overly complicated ending.
