Psychological thriller example analysis

Flight Plan (2005)

Flight plan is a simple psychological thriller compared to others as it is easier to understand, throughout the film the location stays the same (the air plane) and we are introduced to the main character right away.
 We know something is wrong with Kyle at the beginning as she is shown taking pills, we also see her identifying a dead body in a hospital, this sets the scene but doesn't give away any of the storyline. We are then introduced to her daughter (Julia), we are aware these are the main characters as the plot follows them throughout. Kyle and her daughter Julia then go to the airport, we know something is wrong when Julia wonders off, her mum panics and the music gets faster and more suspicious, this gives us the idea that the film could be based around the daughter going missing. The colours are very dull and dark, this is a main convention of a thriller.

There was no film clips we could find on the internet but this is the trailer :
