January 26, 2009The main idea is good. A charming stranger on the night flight next to you starts threatening to kill your dad at home if you don't make the call he wants you to make. And for a while that works pretty well, with Murphy being threatening and McAdams nicely panicked. Somewhere on ...( read more)

July 13, 2008Limp, predictable, waste of time. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen ....... It managed to make Murphy about as scary as Barney. Woeful cliched tosh.

November 7, 2009Red Eye is one hell of a surprising film, taut, intense and smartly plotted. It does have it flaws, but it's still fine.

October 31, 2009Argh, when I saw the front cover of red eye it promised a lot and a fairly original story and what we got was a very slow unrealistic very small scale story that didnt offer much in the way of trills. The actors are ok but there really is only one good part and that lasts for abo...( read more)

'Red Eye' is a movie that flies for a while, but is finally grounded by its heavy cargo of unbelievability. full review

Red Eye doesn't just stick to the basics -- it reminds us why they still matter. full review

March 24, 2008This was one of the best movies ever! This was definitely in my top 5 list of thrillers! Cillian is disturbingly great as the terrorist-type individual, and is very intimidating. Rachel is brillant as always. I love her in this role because it's so different from her other movies! I hope she continues in this genre! Cillian too!

There is young brave girl how she tackles the problem the lesson is if you want you can become a problem for someone else, you can do anything wisely.she is a hotel manager traveling back to Miami after her Grandmother passed away, she has a fear of flying and thankfully her flight is delayed due to bad weather, but that lets her get introduced to a young man who seems like a perfectly nice guy. With a twist of fate he is seated right next to Lisa on the flight. Soon after take off she realizes that Jack needs her more then she knows, he needs her in order to assassinate head of Homeland Security, staying at her hotel. Jack threatens her with her father’s life if she refuses to co-operate., she is afraid of flying, she is at 30,000 feet with nowhere to run and the logical thing to do is co-operate....but can you set up an assassination plot on someone to save someone you love. This is really a great movie I liked very much.
