Red Eye

After attending the funeral of her grandmother in Dallas, Hotel manager Lisa is waiting for a flight to Miami.Due to the bad weather and consequent flight delays, she meets in the airport bar Jackson Rippner, who is also in the waiting list.They sit together on the plane, and Jackson reveals that he wants Lisa to change the room in her hotel of an important American politician to facilitate a terrorist attempt against him.Otherwise, Lisa's father will be killed by a hit man.Lisa has to decide what to do with the menacing man at her side....After the crassness of Scream 3 and Cursed, it's nice to see Craven do a little thriller movie which really sets the heart thumping during the first two acts. Murphy steals the show from everyone as the protagonist who wants Lisa to make a simple phone call.His name gives a lot away to who he is and what he is capable of, but it just gets laughed off during their first encounter. Comic relief is provided by the girl from Glee, and the urgency provided by the ever reliable Cox and the man waiting outside for him.There are little macgufins though in the film that are featured (pens for sure) that make you think 'hmmm, i;m sure they will be used later' and sure enough they do.and this is where the film slightly falters, Craven goes back to his Scream/horror roots, and turns Rippner into an all slashing, all maniacal corridor stalker.He even has a killer as trait with his voice distorted thanks to a pen in the windpipe, and a weird gait.it sends the movie a little bonkers, but thanks to a very solid first two acts, the film manages to hold up. Mcadams is fine in the film, but she does nothing memorable.This film is all about Murphy, and proves he is one of the best young British actors in the business.

The fact that this movie is classified as suitable for 12 years olds meant that the whole family could sit and watch it, which we did, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.However, don't let this fool you into thinking that this film is not for adults. It's a gripping movie right up to the end. I guess the rating is due to the fact that the movie does not contain sex, nudity or bad language - a blessing in my view and proof that it is possible to make an action/thriller/suspense movie without the need to introduce these elements (although the movie does contain some violence).Other reviewers here have described the plot so it seems pointless to repeat these details but I highly recommend this movie. A thriller in which the suspense gradually increases to a dramatic climax with the two main characters, a seemingly friendly but ultimately evil villain and an unfortunate victim trapped and apparently at his mercy, both excellently portrayed by Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams.

RED EYE is a terrifying, action-packed thriller directed by Was Craven (SCREAM 1-4, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, THE HILLS HAVE EYES) and starring Rachel Mccadams and Cillian Murphy. It was just brilliant! The acting was so good I couldn't believe it! Rachel Mccadams was extremely convincing as the main character and Cillian Murphy was just as convincing as the main villain. The storyline was very original, clever and intense and was never boring. The last twenty minutes was full of awesome action but it didn't just rely on the action, gore or terror, which was why I liked it so much. I highly recommend RED EYE if you want to watch a good thriller! OUTSTANDING!

Don't trust handsome guys on your flight girls! Love this film! Luckily not overacted! Brilliant performances from Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams! Frighting, because of the realistic acting!Beware!

I love this film! It is one of my favourites…the twist is very good and it is a well thought out movie. I love how the film toys with the emotions and I recommend this film if you are a fan of psychological thrillers because this is an amazing one. I was a little disappointed by the ending of the film but a brilliant film overall.
