Red Eye (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

What at first seems like a romantic connection between two attractive strangers (Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams) who meet on a red-eye flight to Miami turns dark and deadly in this Wes Craven-directed suspense thriller.

This is a Great Movie....Must see and Own....but the next time you fly....BEWARE....of who sits NEXT TO YOU......

Red Eye (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)
Rachel McAdams, Cillian Murphy, do make a really good pair of leads n this movie. This is a pretty good movie to watch. You should not feel that you spent your money foolishly. I was hoping for a little more from Wes Craven for all the movies he has made.

I liked the movie and had not planned on it. I only bought the dvd because I'm a Rachel McAdams fan. The movie is an edge of your seat thriller from start to finish. All the cast were really good and Wes Carven is an excellant director. I quickly became attached to the cast and formed an immediate dislike for the villian (Cillian Murphy). I also liked the fact the director did not try to gross me out with so much blood and gore. It was refreshing to see an adult film without all the dirty talk. On the negative side, I would to have seen Rachel McAdams have a love interest.

Rachel McAdams, Cillian Murphy and Brian Cox
star in Wes Craven's 2005 thriller. A woman
is forced to help an assassin. Cillian is a
great villain and he and Rachel have good
chemistry. This dvd has nice picture and
sound plus some neat extras. Get this
terrific thriller.

90% of the time I can go into a movie, either theater or rental and call it scene for scene right up until the end. Because as we all know, Hollywoods well of creativity has truly run dry these days, it's just the way it is. They are that predictable. As long as you have a brief synopsis (which usually starts with a trailer) before hand, it's fairly easy for anyone to figure out what is going to happen next. Red Eye was no exception.

But as predictable as Red Eye was, it brought something good to the table that is both rare and treasured amongst the most hardcore movie goer...it had fluidity. Even though I knew the outcome of this movie (it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out), it was completely fun to watch the writer/director's intention from start to finish. Even though I knew the "Bad Guys" would fail at some point, it was still entertaining. The fluidity, as I stated earlier is what made this movie key to that "entertainment". Events unfolded clear and simple from the start and each characters motives was clear. The pieces fell together quite nicely.

At first I was concerned that they'd drag out the suspense of the two main characters, both victim girl and that of bad guy using said girl for a conspiracy, in this case an assassination. But it didn't take long for the action and plot to unfold. The last half hour was a great, although predictable romp of "not this time bad guy". Confrontation and chase ensues and the good guy, or in this case, gal wins in the end saving the day. It's the better of this type of movie I've seen in a long while. I'd definitely watch it again knowing what I know and knew all along. It's just plain fun to watch. Everyone likes it when the underdog wins and this movie makes it happen. It'll never be remembered as a classic, but it definitely won't be completely forgotten. It's the perfect popcorn movie.
