Ok, so the killer´s purpose was to get Jo´s daughter?. He went through all that just to get the girl, because he had lost his own?. If it is not this, then what was the reason for the killings?
shareThe ending was stupid and unbelievable - 'Yes I just acquired a new daughter from nowhere'
I Made Me god!
"The ending was stupid and unbelievable "
You mean you found all that preceded not stupid and unbelievable ? The ending was the most plausible thing in the movie ! Ever heard of the Jessie Dugard story ? Yoy should.
The passengers on the plane all watched the live video feed of the killers daughter commit suicide.
The passengers friends/family also watched the live video feed (the passengers emailed it to them)
The killer had already killed the friends and family.
All the viewers of the live video feed were on the plane, only 5 of them were alive (4 passengers and the pilot)
The pilot believed that to save his family he had to fly into the building of the company who broadcasted the live video feed.
At the end, Jo stopped the plane from crashing into the building. She knew she would die anyway, so she decided to save the lives of the people in the building.
The killer did not kill Jo's daughter-
1. It is likely that Jo would not have let her daughter watch that!
2. He kept her to 'replace' his daughter
Maybe it wasent his daughter that killed herself. Maybe she also got kidnapped and that's why she killed herself. All in the family felt very strange and that girl that killed herself dont fit into that family very well on looks.
shareI still have a hard time believing that Jo would've forwarded that video to her mother and her mother watched it (since her mother was one of the "family victims"). I have a hard time believing her mother had an account on that site at all.
shareWhen they showed the video Jo forwarded the killers were all wearing masks. I thought it would come out later that she was under one of the masks.
sharehe already had her in hand the whole time, but you bring up a good point. if he planned to kill them in the first place, why the hell would he even do all that? i would get it if he would force them to see their loved ones get killed and then let them live with their loss, but kill them afterwards? what for? and why on a plane????? just to shove the stupid social networking "point" into this?

The film is about blame shifting.
Turner's daughter killed herself, his whole family could not cope with this and refused to accept the blame for their failure to save their daughter from basically broadcasting her suicide to the world.
So they blamed the viewers, the social media site and those who they saw as guilty by association.
All very old testament, very eye for an eye. My daughter died and went to hell, so not only will you die, but you will all damn yourselves too.
The taking of the child was the ultimate version of this in the end, their chance to redeem themselves, by saving the girl from her "wanton" mother and raising her in a "decent" family, if this "Lucy" grows up and does not kill herself, then they are redeemed.
However when Jo saves the social media office by causing an explosive decompression of the plane, she perhaps redeems herself and they still have not got the real Max (Note again how they shift the blame from themselves to Jo for the death of the fake Max)
Ultimately the film is about people's inability to face the consequences of their own actions and the old chestnut of blaming the media for bad parenting, even if they have to use the media to do it.
