Review of Red Eye (2005) by Steve M — 31 Aug 2010
Red Eye is a thriller from 2005 which was directed by Wes Craven.
It's about a young hotel manager who is on her way back to where she works in Miami after attending her Grandmothers funeral. As she waits to board the long awaited flight she meets a creepy looking but charming man whose actually playing the middle-man in a plot to murder a homeland security offical and his family. He has her dad pinned down by one of his boys, so he uses that advantage to coerce her into calling the hotel where she works and arrange to move their target into a pre-set position. Im not gonna give to much away but if your looking for a good thriler with good thrills, and even a fare amount of action this would be a great one to choose.
I think the cast was chosen perfectly for this type of film it stars "Cillan Murphy" who is the crazy guy on the plane and he plays the role of a ruthless physcopath masterfuly. "Rachel Mcadams" is the hotel manager on the plane and plays her role very well too. I think the story to it is good and well written not amazing or anything but the acting is great and the directing from Wes is superb, I found this to be a very enjoyable thriller and is one of my top 10 favourite Wes Craven films, its definitely worth a watch.
