Veteran horror director Wes Craven lends his proven talent to the non-horror thriller Red-Eye, turning it into an above-average potboiler that makes the most of its 85 tension-packed minutes. That's a perfect running time for a movie like this, in which a resourceful heroine Lisa (Rachel McAdams, the breakout star of 2005) is trapped on a red-eye flight with creepy villain Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy, even more menacing than he was as the Scarecrow in Batman Begins) who's playing middle-man in the plot to assassinate a Homeland Security official. He's got her father pinned down by a would-be killer, using that advantage to coerce Lisa into phoning the luxury resort where she works and arranging to move the target into a pre-set position. It's a situation from which there is seemingly no escape, but of course Craven and screenwriter Carl Ellsworth find a way to milk the suspenseful dilemma for all it's worth, even managing to wedge in a few intriguing character details to enhance the fast-moving plot. It's still a B-movie, but it's tightly constructed and well-executed by Craven, whose previous films made him a perfect choice to maximize all that Red-Eye has to offer. --Jeff Shannon

Rippner uses both mental and physical abuse during the flight back home, to get Lisa to switch hotel rooms of the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security (using her Management Power and Authority) so that his cohorts ...

Rating:  - Snake On A Plane
I didn't know what this movie was all about befroe I watched it. I thought it was a supernatural thriller of some sort. I was actually intrigued when the plot started unfolding, I was thinking wow what an original concept. I will admit the story was original and fresh, the acting was fantastic. I think Cillian Murpghy is one of a kind. His look is so unusual and androgenous, he is hot isn't he? Once the plane landed and she stuck him with the pen, the movie started to take another direction of ... Read More
Rating:  - Good thriller
This is a really good psychological thriller. I was surprised that there was not any gore, which I don't care for anyway. There were lapses in the action, but this just left time to wonder what would happen next. The actors were very believable, and the chemistry between the two main actors was intriguing. The main character's secret was a good back story; however, some of the villains' motivations were not very well explained. It had a very American feel though, with the underdog fighting back and ultimately ... Read More

While it's not the edge of your seat thriller, I really enjoy how it all comes together at the end.
