Red Eye

I cant believe how bad this movie was. The unrealistic plot, lazy writing with cliche dialogues. It was never tense, and it was predictable until the end. I watched it because of Cillian Murphy and Brian Cox, but even them could not save the poor writing. I skipped through the final chase, because I knew exactly how it would finish...

Of course, this film has Rachel McAdams, so its already pretty good in my book. McAdams doesnt let me down as she plays a woman who gets forced into a situation where human lives are at stake. Cillian Murphy plays a suave terrorist who intends to use McAdamss characters position in a hotel to carry out a plot to assinate the United States Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security (theeres a mouthful.) McAdamss character is motivated to cooperate by the fact that her father, who remains unaware of the plot, will become very aware of whats going on, right before hes killed. Thats a nice twist...usually the father is motivated by his daughters possible fate. Murphys character is truely terrifying, a testiment to the mans acting ability, and we are reminded of how terrifying when he so creepily reminds McAdams (and us) of how brutally honest he has been from the beginning. Ultimately, this is a pair to watch (youll briefly think its a relationship in the making) right up to the very, tail-spinning end.

The wife loves this movie.

Possibly one of the most cliche Hollywood-esque movies I have ever seen. Has a predictable, sappy, everyone lives happily ever after ending. The beginning part of the movie was decent. If youre looking for a movie that will keep you entertained, this one will do the job. If youre looking for a movie that is actually well made, you probably shouldnt watch this.

Loved this movie!!

Good movie. The difference in this movie from those of its type is I got absolutely claustrophobic in the scenes where hes next to her in the plane. That was an interesting feeling from a movie I was only watching on TV and it wasnt a special effect, I felt it was Rachel McAdams acting.

Watched it for the actors but honestly, it was pretty silly and its definitely NOT a believable concept. From beginning to end, Im thinking oh pleeeeaaaassseee. Dont want to give anything away but youll see if you watch. As a matter of fact, watch the trailor and youll have seen all you need to see! I really wouldnt waste your time on this one. Two stars for Cillian only.

I rented this movie because I adore Cillian Murphy. It was a thrilling movie from beginning to end.

It was a thrill ride and not what you would normally expect from Wes Craven however kept you on the edge of your seat never the less. Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams have great onscreen chemistry. I was gonna drop one star for the dissatisfied hotel guests because I thought they had too much screen time, however it was necessary in some parts, so overall it was a 5 star!
