Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
juanmuscle 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.
Cean E. Lumbaca I've known Wes Craven through his iconic films such as Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Red Eye for me came as a surprise. Although shallow, the film had me at the edge of my seat. The last few moments of the movie were thrilling. It was a breath of fresh air for Craven to direct a film like Red Eye. I also like the movie set inside an airplane, at the airport, and in the hotel - I come from the hospitality sector and this film is somewhat a good vibe to me seeing those places.Cillian Murphy's acting is great and intimidating. He's mysterious and manipulative. On the other hand, Rachel McAdams is also okay but I think she needs more practice when it comes to thrillers because she's known for comedies and chick-flicks. Overall, the movie is terrific.
inspectors71 A tidy little piece of entertainment, Wes Craven's Red Eye tells the story of hotel manager Rachel McAdams being used by a group of terrorists--headed by charming sociopath Cillian Murphy--to assassinate the Secretary of Homeland Security. The thing that makes Red Eye work is that, even though you've seen the Hitchcockian nobody getting caught up in big, nasty things many times before, Craven keeps the pace so fast and the time so short (under 90 minutes), that you don't have time to ponder absurdities and slickeries and plot-holeries. Red Eye beats its contemporary, Flight Plan, by doing it better. The only false note is the whiney couple at the end who apparently didn't notice all the Feds and the cops and the VIPs and the smoke milling about before they pitch a hissy at McAdams for a ruined experience at the swanky hotel. If that's my whole gripe list, I need a drink from the airport bar.
NDbportmanfan I typically do not enjoy watching intense action movies as they are always set in these unrealistic situations but this movie is an exception. Lisa is a hotel manager that has to return home to attend a funeral and on her return flight she is sitting next to a hired hand whose goal is to assassinate the head of Homeland Security.Lisa is not suspicious in the slightest because the two had such a great conversation at the bar right before the plane took off.As far as story goes, I thought it was really solid as all of the character's motives were clear and made sense to the overall plot. I didn't find any glaring clichés that would make you roll your eyes, but instead an edge of your seat movie that makes you wonder if everything is going to turn out okay. Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy were just great in this movie, plain and simple which was crucial in the films success as the story is centered around their constant interactions. There is not much more I can say about it Murphy was just so intimidating and sweet when he had to be.I highly recommend giving this film a try.
