| I was I admit unsure of what to expect when I saw Red Eye. I actually saw it not in the theater but at a drive-in theater. It was amazing, and very thrilling. I did not know Cillian until this movie and now I am a Cillian fan! Too bad he is married..haha..j/k. He was absolutely perfect for the role, and proves that even a handsome and nice person can be a possible terrorist. He and Racheal had great chemistry. Now I am counting down the day until it comes out... |

| This movie feels like a 2 hour episode of 24. What makes it really worthy are the excelent performances by Murphy (very creepy !) and the wonderful, Rachel MacAdams. Only minor complaint is (spoiler ahead), why did the latter try so hard to evade the police when the plane lands instead of simply surrendering ?
The movie came out at the same time than Fligth plan which caused some confusion on the people sitting beside me a the theater (when is Jodie Foster going to appear ?) |
| Rating | | | Date | November 09, 2005 | | Summary | The devil is the plane | Content
| A thriller of a rare intensity. Three lines of crime are connected together by one woman taken hostage by a high class hitman on her plane to Florida. Her father is one stake. She is the second. But most important of all an important person, probably in politics, is menaced with his whole family, if that woman cooperates to save her father's life. The killer will fail, the killing(s) will not happen, no one will get hurt except a couple of crooks, but Wes Craven builds such a suspense that you can hardly believe you are taken along such a demented adventure, that can happen - alas - everyday to nearly everyone.

| Wes Craven's 2nd movie this year...the other one was the failed werewolf flop Cursed which came out in late February. Red Eye is much better then Cursed and is a Craven diversion from his usual gore scare fest. Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers, Mean Girls) plays Lisa who is taking the Red Eye back home because she just had her Grandma's funeral. She is going back to where she works which is a Hotel in Miami and also to her Father, played by the great Brian Cox (X2: X-Men United, Troy). In the airport she meets Jack Riptner, played with sinister ease by the awesome Cillian Murphy (Intermission, 28 Days Later). McAdams and Murphy hit it off sharing things with one another and having drinks. She then winds up ironically sitting right next to him on the plane. But it's not a coincedence because he is there for a purpose and that purpose is for McAdams to do somethings for him otherwise her Father dies. Murphy wants McAdams to have her Hotel switch rooms for a rich man and his family because he is going to be killed. So, McAdams tries everything to stall him and escape but he sees right threw her. Eventually, when the plane lands she escapes and he follows her to try to stop her. The two leads give good performances, especially Murphy who is playing yet another bad guy this summer alongside the hit Batman Begins where he played The Scarecrow. The end showdown scene in the house kinda felt a little bit Scream-ish. Also starring Colby Donaldson...and if you dont know who is he, he played one of the rich guy's secret service suits and he was also in the second season of Survivor...dont ask me how I know this...I just do. |
