Red Eye
-
Opens 1 September 2005
From director Wes Craven (the "Scream" franchise) comes "Red Eye," a suspense thriller at 30,000 feet, starring Rachel McAdams ("The Notebook", "Wedding Crashers" ) and Cillian Murphy ("Batman Begins," "28 Days Later" ).
Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying.
Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is pleasantly surprised to find that she is seated next to Jackson (Cillian Murphy), the seemingly charming man with whom she had shared a drink -- and perhaps even a brief flirtation -- in the airport terminal. But moments after takeoff, Jackson drops his façade and menacingly reveals the real reason he's on board: He is an operative in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security...and Lisa is the key to its success. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.
Trapped within the confines of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no way to summon help without endangering her father, her fellow passengers and her own life. As the miles tick by, Lisa knows she is running out of time as she desperately looks for a way to thwart her ruthless captor and stop a terrible murder.
Atypical thriller from Craven with taut pacing and great acting. McAdams carries off her vulnerable yet courageous heroine role well. Murphy is convincing enough as the villain that he runs the risk of being typecast as a psycho. -
A Nutshell Review: Red Eye
If you've seen the trailer for Red Eye, it's one of the most misleading in recent times. It started off with serendipity romantic type moments of boy meets girl at the airport, then meet each other again at the airport lounge, and yet again they find themselves seated side by side on the aircraft. Until Cillian Murphy's eye goes red, and the trailer ends.

honestly it was well directed and the plot is unlike any other terrorists or high air thriller movie.
the way the guy introduced himself to the girl was brilliant, nice, slow, patient skilfully crafted.
the way he drops a bombshell when he reveals his identity is brilliant!
