I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

good back-story, and good acting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

101 things I learned from Red Eye (2005) - Cynthia does not really like to move provisions from one room to the next. If you want someone dead, make sure to contemplate the most incredibly difficult blueprint on your next journey around the world in 80 days insofar as to make sure to fill it up with the lamest plot devices ever. Bombs live underwater. 11 year old girls riding alone in planes make exceedingly good detectives. Rachel is the most baddass loner loser ever! Windshields stop bullets at a very close range. Cars vs guns , cars win every single time! If you are a baddass hit-man or whatever, cute milf scarfs go well with pen holes in the throat. Cillian Murphy, although an incredibly gifted thespian, suffers from stumbling a lot. In Terminator Arnold the robot takes leave to repair his broken robot parts, however Cillian can lumber about bearing moribund wounds whilst trying to seek petty revenge in a suburban home with the cops on the way. Cynthia had a good night save for the incredibly bad movie she just happened to accidentally be in.

A B-movie Wes Craven thriller is the type of movie that was frequent around the mid-2000's and Red Eye is basically the quintessential version of that. It's far from perfect but an entertaining thriller with some slasher/horror moments towards the end of the film rounded out one tense film. Starring the always creepy but brilliant Cillian Murphy and one of Hollywood's sweetheart's Rachel McAdams, Red Eye is the kind of tightly strung thrillers that you see randomly appear on Netflix and wonder why you've never heard of it, only it's directed by a horror legend and stars two award caliber actors. It's a great premise as Murphy and McAdams sit next to each other on the plane and one knows more about the other than they choose to let on. Threats, murder plots, and plenty of shady phone calls ensue as the 2005 film does its best to thrill and entertain for 80 minutes.6.9/10

Rachel McAdam does a jodie foster type role here. The film is barely 90 minutes duration. Rachel Mcadams boards a plane where seeming friendly Murphy took seat beside her. The film plunges into a tense edgy thriller the moment the plane leaves ground. Cillian Murphy was brilliant in the negative role. As I mentioned above, acting of Mcadams will remind you of Jodie Foster from silence of the lambs, panic room. The fear in her face was so real that Murphy although brilliant in his role was slightly overshadowed. The film is one of the best air borne thriller in this decade.

Just got round to watching this today after buying the DVD second hand from Cex a few years back, the concept & name Wes Craven (RIP) caught my eye. So I bought this film despite it being a thriller & not a horror. Though never got round to watching despite it being on my DVD shelf.Well after getting round to watching, I can say this is a pretty decent epic thriller of a film! It's got a unique concept. It's fast paced, get's to the point & doesn't make any balls about it, it's also a short film too 1hr 13mins (73mins. This is what makes it great along with the edge of your seat tension & suspense!Although for a 12+ it lacked gore & hard language it was still a great thriller with a great story-line! I recommend you watch!8/10
