Not a bad movie for the first 45 minutes or so, but the movie takes an inexplicable left turn from a believability standpoint after the plane lands that ruined the whole thing for me. I could have dealt with the cliches of "No Service" or dead batteries in the cell phone, but you need to at least provide SOME explanation why someone being stalked would avoid security and police like the plague. Just didn't make any sense.… Expand

Terrible movie. The main actor is Jack Rippner, Jack the Ripper, get it HA HA! That is almost the only good part of this movie. The only other good part is that this movie has Brian Cox in it. Brian Cox, if you remember, was the original Hannibal Lector that you will see in the movie "Manhunter." Other than that, this is a movie that you should avoid.

I thought it was a gripping movie, and was well acted by all cast, like its as well becuase just cam back from miami.lol but was a good film.

Excellent film, refreshing lack of mega-explosions and somersaulting automobiles, very lean, stays on track throughout.

Kind Of Dissapointing.

Loved it. yes it was a more simple movie then say some of the big epic ones. nothing OH MY GOSH. but it was great. both rachel mcadams and cillian murphy can act superbly. i really loved rachel's character even though she was somewhat predictable. she turned that role into something more. cillian was just plan devious but in a way that you couldn't quite hate him. i sort of wish the whole movie stayed on the plane though. those parts were the best. i think i'll see it again haha.… Expand

Well it was alright except for the fact that it wasn't exciting, thrilling, interesting, original, well acted, or otherwise entertaining. wow our protagonist is a woman who beats up some guy stalking and threatening her, this is just not able to hold up a flacid film. Boy did they advertize well for this one though, I thought I was going to enjoy it, or get thrilled by it. At the end i kept waiting... WHERE'S THE TWIST. There is no twist folks, this one kind of stinks.… Expand

Good dvd pick; a little predictable and unrealistic; characters change in order to accomplish plot lines. For the most the storyline fails to reach a climactic peak worth remembering.

Not the most original movie, but if you're looking for a fun, suspnseful thirller, this is the best I've seen in a while. I really wasn't sure with the last few films Wes Craven has put out, but this one really paid off. I'd recomend it to anyone with the ability to just sit back and enjoy a film.

Awful, awful movie. I don't know where the critcs or even some of the reviewers on this site are thinking about givin it 8's and 9's. It's suppose to be a suspense right? Well, where was the suspense! I was bored to tears and you will be too if you see this drivel. And I like Cillian Murphy too, but this was too much. Wes Craven, cmon man. I KNOW you can do thriller better than this.… Expand

It's not surprising that a thriller released less than 4 years after 9/11 and dealing with airborne terrorism (or, more specifically, terrorism conducted FROM an airplane) would endeavor to ruffle as few political feathers as possible: the intended assassination target is a Deputy Director of Homeland Security whose incendiary message (something on the order of "we've got to get tough on these hostile nations") is general enough that red- and blue-staters can fundamentally agree on it, and the fact that his life is at stake because of this indicates that terrorists are notoriously thin-skinned folk. But then, Wes Craven is neither Costa-Gavras or Oliver Stone, nor Lionel Chetwynd or John Milius; even as himself, he's a long way from enraging and offending audiences with his three-decades-ago gorefests Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes, and the most controversial message he's been pushing as of late is the notion that werewolves can live normal lives just like you and me, in this year's earlier Cursed. Nope, Craven's just out to thrill these days, and Red Eye demonstrates that he can still do that very, very well. Excellent, claustrophobia-inducing employment of very limited space for much of the movie, with special kudos for Craven's use of close-ups, plus lots of clever touches in Carl Ellsworth's script (you gotta like an airplane movie that refers to the Mile-High Club without ever mentioning it by name, and a suspense thriller that includes a Dr. Phil book as one of the props!) make this a continually entertaining and effective sweat-inducer, drawing pleasant comparisons with last summer's terrific Cellular. In the airport, in the air, and back on the ground, Red Eye works so well for what it is that my only real complaint is actually a compliment: it's one of the few movies currently around that actually could've afforded to be ten minutes longer! Rachel McAdams as a hotel manager forced to help with the murder continues the roll she embarked on with Mean Girls, The Notebook and Wedding Crashers; here as in those, she's utterly incapable of making a wrong or false acting move. Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow in Batman Begins) is masterful at blending softspokenness and charm with psychopathia and danger; his almost feminine facial features make him even creepier. But for my money, the movie absolutely belongs to newcomer Jayma Mays, a tiny little thing who steals scenes and hearts as an overwhelmed employee at McAdams' hotel. With her Walter Keene-kitten eyes, tremulous voice, and wobbly walk, Mays is vulnerability personified, and she's irresistable. Anyone who watches her in this movie and doesn't at least consider treating concierges, waitresses and other service personnel with at least a little more kindness, patience and consideration deserves to go to the back of a never-ending line at whatever airport, hotel, restaurant, movie theater or other facility that represents his or her worst vision of Customer Service Hell.… Expand

This movie had all the underpinnings of a classic Hitchcock flick but didn't deliver the results. Sure, it seemed like a made-for-TV movie at times, but you have to admit that you're suspending your belief for a fun ride at the matinee. There was a point in this movie where I respected Wes Craven's savvy on an artistic level as the main villian started to pursue the protagonist with dogged persistence. It went through 15 minutes where the bad guy was stepping into the room, was behind the shower curtain, was behind the unlocked door, was right next to the answering machine, etc. My girlfriend kept rubbing her hands on her knees nervously and kept yelping at all of the twist and turns. That's my kinda date movie, ya know? I enjoyed this movie experience because Rachel McAdams, the main heroine with such a lovable personality, was so adept at adapting to the different suspenseful events. I'm not saying that Wes Craven was struggling to adapt his vision to an acceptable PG-13 movie, but it seemed evident that he was straining his creative influences to release a movie that would be acceptable to a mass audience. Sure, it's understandable that there were major holes in the plot that you can drive a semi-truck through. But the fun-loving, playful attitude from this movie made it so easily digestible that it doesn't seem like such a bad idea. And whatever the critics might say, I have to admit that having a combatitive heroine who saves the day makes this the kind of film that I'm willing to pay good money to see in the cinema. I hope that others can appreciate my perspective. While I agree that head-butts and violence against women are not appreciated, I understand that the visceral pleasure of seeing the good girl get her revenge was worth the price of admission to this PG-13 movie. Let me know if you agree.… Expand

Definitely a worthy summer suspense movie! Rachel McAdams and Celian Murphy were great in their roles and the movie built really good suspense throughout. Totally enjoyable!

Very good!

Definetly worth the trip. It would have been a ten if it was longer. Keepes you guessing the whole time. Even if you are not a fan of thrillers, you will enjoy it!

It was excellent. Fairly predictable, but nonetheless, an excellent afternoon at the theatre. Rachel McAdams is stunning.

Perfect taut popcorn thriller. rachel mcadams is awesome!

Had a few okay moments and cillian and rachel are good, but the movie as a whole is just incredibly mediocre. Typical nonsensical ending and fight. Must check brain out at the door. For this movie to get such high ratings, someone must have been bought or our expectations for movies have lowered due to all the bad ones being created today. Since this one isn't as bad as the usual, it gets good reviews. 5 pts for being watchable. Just don't expect a super good thriller as the reviews would make you think.… Expand

I found myself rooting for the bad guy about 20 minutes him. Thought Rachel McAdams character was not believable. Loved Cillian Murphy though.

I was expecting something more. the acting wasn't quite up to speed but the plot was interesting.

I enjoyed the scenes on the airplane between McAdams and Murphy, but the last act was just one thriller flick cliche after another (low cellphone battery, fight to the finish with bad guy, etc.). At least Craven kept the flick to 85 minutes.

Boring, predictable and a general waste of time. Who gets stabbed in the neck and doesn't bleed. Please...

The performance of McAdams and Murphy and the thrilling climax make this average thriller just a little above average.

Loved this movie. You do have to suspend belief a little bit, but the payoff is great in my opinion. I thought that the casting was great. This movie was so entertaining from start to finish. Isn't that the whole idea? Highly recommend it.

I really thought this was shaping up to be a decent movie until the female lead (name?) stabbed the male lead (name?) through the neck with a toy pen. Everything from that point on just got more farfetched, more predictable, less sophisticated, and just plain boring.

This was a fun flick, I enjoyed it a lot. It's definitely one of those popcorn type thrillers where you don't 2nd guess every improbable event and plot point, but rather just kick back and enjoy the ride. You know going in that the plot is far fetched, so it's better to let yourself be entertained without judging films like this with the same criticality you would apply to a weighty drama. I like WC's style of tension and suspense, I'd like to see him do a good action thriller or two in coming years. I saw this in the theatre the first time around, and I thought it was tense, atmospheric, and paced very well. The acting performances were admirable too, I would like to see the female lead take on something deeper and more dramatic instead of the estrogen laden chick flicks she's usually in. I think this film showed she has some depth and range, attractive too. This is no film for the ages, but I'll award a 9 for being enjoyable. I'm deducting a point for the way things wrapped up at the end though, it deserved an ending at least as good as the rest of the film.… Expand

Pretty good.

This movie kept me involved in the plot througout it's entire run. I found myself rooting for Lisa and excited to see her turn the tables on Jack. Pulse pounding to the very end.

A very intriguing picture. It is nothing fantastic, but is very fun to see. The plot is somewhat flimsy but makes up for it by Rachel McAdams way of connecting with the audience. By the end of this movie you are rooting for her. Cillian Murphy makes you hate him and does a great job of it. In my opinion Wes Craven chose the right actors to work with him, and if it wasn't for them this movie would be unwatchable.… Expand

The movie was really great at the outset and continued to develop an interesting plot for most of the film. The ending, without giving it away, was a huge let down and managed to destroy any credibility the plot managed to establish. While walking out of the theater I felt like I had paid merely to see a great idea solved with a copout.

When you find yourself saying "Yes!" out loud at a happening near the end, you know you've had fun. Yes, it's improbable, but it's a movie, and an entertaining one. The character Cynthia steals every second she has on screen.

Red Eye is a great thriller. The film was concise and satisfying. A must see.

Awful movie filled with broadly drawn characters, plot loopholes, and suspense movie cliches. this gets real bad real quick. i want my 2 hours back.

The first half hour is a good 7/10 movie, good suspense and nice scenario. Then the movie chokes totally and it feels like the director thought "ok, I put all my ideas in the first half hour, what am I going to do, I can't sell this movie like that... let me find a solution". then his hollywood friends told him he simply had to follow the well known hollywood recipe (phone wth the low battery is a good example) and the last 45 mn or so is simply unwatchable, horribly predictable, all that we all hate in hollywood movies. the last hour killed all the rest of the movie, but I give a 4/10 for the first half hour which was very promising.… Expand

What a great movie!! A non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end! Again i ask, what ever happened to just going to a movie to enjoy yourself?? If you are gonna sit there and be critical just stay home, watch some documentary on the mating habits of monkeys, drink your double foam non-fat triple latte and shut the @#$% up!!

I LOVED IT SO MUCH!! My favorite Rachel McAdams film ever.

Very entertaining movie, however I don't think they developed the plot enough. I never really understood Jackson's motivating force - what made him be so evil? Who was behind the [omitted]?

I cant imagine how people thought this was a good movie. yes i was awake the whole time, but i was not impressed. i am not a big fan of thrilllers, because i am a huge baby, but this was pathetis even by my standards. i loved rachel mcadams, which is why i gave this a 4, but it probably doesnt even deserve that.

Suprisingly intense movie. Overall good movie eventhough a little short for my taste. Rachael McAdams is sooooo Hot.

With references to Homeland Security and Dr. Phil, and an oncoming threat to human life that originates from the ocean(even the word "eye" is prescient), "Red Eye" bears a passing resemblance to our current tragedy, with the exception of characters like Lisa(Rachel McAdams) and Cynthia(Jayma Mays), who are in position to save lives and do so, because they're able to make decisions and move quickly. "Red Eye" works because Cillian Murphy doesn't telegraph his psychotic side; you believe that Lisa could fall for his charms. It's important that her character isn't stupid. We don't sympathize with movie idiots. "Red Eye" starts to resemble a routine thriller when Lisa is out on her own, but if you're aware of "North by Northwest", you might notice a homage to Hitchcock late in the film.… Expand

A pretty straight-forward flick with no thrilling plot twists or surprises. It's a good chance to rest your brain and just watch a movie without having to think too hard. And even if you don't like it, it's pretty short. Rachel McAdams is a really good actress.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. Save your money--this movie is not even worth renting. It should be called Brown Eye. It turned out to be a comedy because the scary parts were so predictable and cliche it was comical. I have better movies on Lifetime Television for Women.

This movie shows why Craven is a master in the horror and suspense genre. If he explained the constants and variables in his "Scream" movies, now's the time to see if we learned... This is a movie for real movie lovers not popcorn consumers.

I came out feeling like I had seen an up-scale TV movie. It was fine for what it was but not particularly suspenseful. I call it a compromise movie, see it when a group is determined to see a movie and have to find something they all can tolerate. I may have felt a little more negative on this, in that, although the acting was fine, the villan looked more petulant than anything else (although that does not preclude being threatening) which I found distracting.… Expand

Wow. This has got to be one of the most overrated movies of 2005. The trailers (back in 2004?) had me very curious and expecting a real thriller. But it just evaporated on the screen. This is a plot? It was all over after the realization that the seatmate is a bad guy. What was original after that? Yikes. And the scene back at daddy's house? C'mon! This has got to be the stock ending to every attempt at a thriller. Victim thinks they've won, villian makes last attempt, third party seals the victory from offscreen. Sheesh. Wes Craven can do a lot better than this. And because of that, it can't be better than a 4.… Expand

great movie, what the hell is everyone talking about. This movie was awesome

A decent movie for about 40 minutes. Then it gets stupid and unbelievable.

Worst movie since Hitchhiker's Guide. I can't beleive anybody that gets paid to be a critic would rate this movie a 70+. The best part was the cameo from Colby on Survivor.

this was a great movie kept me on the edge of my seat! it was worth every cent and had me talking about it almost weeks after i had saw it!

so cheeesy. how can people make such a cheesy movie. so horrible. so horrible. not as good as lotr. ok i'm pretty bored if im writing this.

This movie is wonderfully crafted to be sure. Rachel McAdams is mesmerizing. The pacing is right on. And twists that will delight those looking for something fresh in a genre like this. It is not on the same level as a TV movie, that's ignorance. I'll be buying this one for my DVD collection... please fasten your seat belts!

The dialogue and pathetic character development are both shockingly bad. The acting of the two leads reaches B level for brief moments, but it doesn't matter because the plot and dialogue are so distracting that all I could think about was how the heck the movie received such a high (71) metascore. The only reviews to accurately describe the movie are the last three (Boston Globe, LA Weekly and Portland Oregonian). Seriously, trust only those three for this movie.… Expand

Awful movie. Just awful. Terrible plot, annoying actors, predictable, poor characterization, just atrocious. The beginning was littered with bad clichés and tired dialogue. The middle was farfetched and the end was unexplained and bared little resemblance to anything that happened previous. Case in point, the story evolves from airport bar, to airplane, and finally to a knife-chase scene at a suburban house. Lastly there was too many loose ends and the film rapped up ineffectively. This is best illustrated with one of the final lines, "And after you finish [the comment card] you can go ahead and just shove it up your ass". Note, this line had nothing to do with the film and was spoken unexpectedly. There was no running gag, there wasn't some hilarious set-up, that was the line in it's entirety. I can't go any further in explaining how hideous watching this movie was. Shame on those critics who believed this film had any redeeming qualities. I can confidently say that this was the worst film I've ever seen.… Expand

Based on the positve reviews, this was somewhat of a disappointment. Good cast, but the story just needed some more twists and turns to make it worth sitting through. At least it's short.

A very interesting movie, with unexpected turns throughout the movie. I was disappointed in the ending, however.

Stays on plot and moves right along. Otherwise it's pretty much disposable.

One of the 10 best films of the year so far, but very under-rated due to its genre and its director's lack of prestige. McAdams has an uncanny ability to convey exactly what she's thinking without saying a word.

Taut, suspenseful, well-directed, well-acted thriller. Pacing is excellent and prevents you from thinking about the plot implausibilities. Excellent, professional rendition of this kind of movie that usually doesn't appeal to me.

GOD I loved this movie! it reminded me of Panic Room...

Poor movie, mainly due to totally unrealistic events and situations. Good acting, but horrible screenwriting. 40/100

Did a great job avoiding the predictable and skirting the cliches.

I went in expecting to see an average thriller. I came out, and I had experienced one of the best of the summer. The first movie of the year (and I've seen this year's 'horror films') where everyone in the theatre screamed or jumped at scares. Everyone clapped at the end, it's really a crowd pleaser - not since LotR have I been in a clapping theatre. I can't say enough about Murphy and McAdams, just fantastic actors. Sure it's a lil' predictable, but hell it's practically given away in the previews! Good plot, you already know it, though. The ending was cliche... BUT it was extremely fun. (How else can you end this movie without it becoming melodramatic?) Don't listen to these people who think that WES CRAVEN movies need to mirror real life and fall victim to it's exacting logic. Sure, there may have been better ways to do what Jackson was trying to achieve... but would it be interesting as 'Red Eye'? Nope. Go see this movie, today! You'll jump, you'll be taken aback, and trust me... you will yell "YES!" at the finale. **Here's hoping this is Craven's return to the cinema throne...**… Expand

Superbly acted, did well to avoid the predictible and all in all one of the best films of the year and also wes cravens best film since scream3 , maybe if i dare say it since scream 2!!!!! GO SEE IT NOW!!!! plz :-)

The film wasn't particularly "scary," but it was very entertaining. There were some scares, some thrills, and some pretty good laughs (intentional) as well. "Jack" is scathingly funny and likeable (even though he's the "villain"). Ultimately it was just an enjoyable film. I can't remember the last time I had fun at a movie!

Had some fairly intense moments but near the end it just kind of ran out steam and got pretty cheesy. Cillian Murphy is great though.

Are we that easily amused that we can give this film a score of 7 on average? I should hope not. For, it speaks volumes for how shallow our perception of thrillers has crashed in recent memory.

Just got back from Redeye, and while its not North by Northwest, if you're up for a smart, economical thriller, I cant't think of much else I've seen in the last 10 years (The Fugitive?) that comes close. Two appealing leads claustrophobically duelling to the death, nice gender reversals, plenty of startling jump out of your skin moments and half a dozen quickly sketched minor characters that all have key roles to play in the unfolding of the plot. Sure, you'll be able to figure out some of whats going to happen next, but most of the time it'll happen at such a fast clip you'll still be startled. Redeye is a below-the-fancy pants-critical radar-kind of movie-movie you'll enjoy. Die Hard meets Aliens.… Expand

Ok, so Wes Craven made a mainstream movie. You know what? It is really entertaining and definitely worth seeing. It wont give you nightmares on Elm Street, but it will hold your attention throughout even if you dont Scream1, Scream2 or Scream3 times..but you might.

All right as someone said, leave your brain at the door. This is one of the blandest movies I've ever seen. The plot is HORRIBLE and unrealistic. The ending is so....dull. You expect a twist you get nothing. Overall it is entertaining but there's so much better out there.

An absolutely fantastic, brilliant, thriller. I don't give a f!@# about what Brett H. said, I thought the plot was very intruiging. I saw it with my friend and we were both just smiling thoghout the entire movie. Although forgettable, the music is fantastic and overall, with fantastic performances by Murphy and Mcadams, this is a one to remember.

Eh. It wasn't terrible, but I just never felt all that invested in the story or the characters. I kept thinking throughout the film, "well, this is interesting." That would be fine if this was a documentary about penguins or Enron, but this was supposed to be a nail-biting thriller. This is competent work by Craven, but I was definitely expecting better.

This movie started out so promising; good-looking yet vulnerable women, sinister man and of course a plane! But after a brilliant performance from the cast for the first 30mins, it falls apart into predictable, cheesy, American women can save the world dog poo! The ending was so bad I was actually angry I sat through it. Absolute waste of time and money this film, although the male lead was the only good acting throughout! Avoid!… Expand

This movie is terrible. I hated it. So boring, horrible plot, horrible acting, I can't believe the critics loved it. What are they thinking?!

Wow...I don't get it. This was just like something you'd see at 2 am on Lifetime television For Women. Cheesy all the way from the obligatory "chick in her bra" scene to the "whoops the guy's not dead and here he is with the knife again" scene. Just seemed really silly and hardly the thriller it's knocked up to be.

Worst movie of the year. The acting is so terrible that I found myself laughing through the entire movie instead of jumping at the so-called surprise or scary moments.

Please Sir, can I have some more... of the drugs that the critics are on? How this movie rated 71 by the professional critics is beyond me. It was a very short (85 minute) movie and was a teen slasher flick reworked for seemingly 30 year old heroines and villains. And yes, I enjoyed her beating the **** out of him. I guess you could term this movie as "redemptive slasher".

What a rattle-trap piece of trash - styled after Lifetime Television for Women and silly and implausible for the entire ride. Whoever called this "Hitchcockian" needs another helping of "North By Northwest."

This movie gets a C+. It is an average movie, but well done. If you are a Craven fan, you will identify with his style. The acting was well done. I personally thought it was far fetched and cheeky. Well done, but cheese ball with a kind of incredulous plot line.

The fact that this Craven movie Red Eye is getting such fantastic reviews is mindboggling. As said in many a user review from real people, this is a [below] average movie and in my opinion not even a worth a theatre release, i could care less if it was. Not Recommended.

I kept wishing the plane would crash and put us all out of our misery. Mrs OH does not believe it got a 71. Perhaps it was really 17. Give it a miss

This is a terrible movie. Honestly one of the worst films I have ever seen. The acting in the first 15 minutes of the film (save Rachel Adams) is horrific, the rest of the film is not much better. I cannot convey or articulate how utterly bad this movie is in every respect. That it scored a 71 overall with the critics is baffling. Although this site is usually offbase with its scoring of films, the score on this film is criminally overrated. Terrible film, just terrible. I cannot stress this enough. Terrible.… Expand

Wes Craven in the past has given us some of the greatest horror classics whether they be "The Last the House on the Left"(1972), Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984), The Hills Have Eyes"(1977), "The Hills Have Eyes Part II"(1985), "Scream"(1996), "Scream II"(1997) and "Scream III"(2000). Craven has always delivered a new and terrifying twist on one of cinema's oldest and most revered genres the one thing about Craven I've always liked is that he doesn't try and do the same thing twice. Actually, I take that back he did do the same thing twice actually three times with the Scream series (It got ridiculous after two). Craven has always managed to give us a new and original look at horror, Craven has always stuck to the ground so the real question is what if the master of modern horror took to the skies. Wes Craven's "RED EYE" is a smart and engaging economic thriller that while lacking the grounded terror of most Wes Craven films it does in fact evoke the oldest of all fears, the fear of flying. People fear flying for many reasons some fear it because they are afraid of heights like me. They fear flying because they are afraid the plane will have some kind of problem and crash; the reason for fear of flying is infinite and in this film it churns out a story that resonates well with modern audiences it is a story about one girl and one terrorist trapped on a red eye flight to Miami. Craven is a master of horror, has proved with this film that he can expanded past the trappings of the horror genre, and create an action thriller that works as a character driven story as much as it does as an action picture. The story of this picture in some ways lacks originality as it is reminiscent but not derivative of other films of it's type sort of like Wolfgang Petersen's "Air Force One" or George Seaton's "Airport " and don't get me wrong I enjoyed the story, I loved it but it could have worked out a little better in my opinion. “ Red EYE" is one of the most engaging and tension filled films I have watched to date it works so much better than it should and even when it should sink, it floats. It is not so much about terrorism as it is about conquering your fears and overcoming your doubt that is what Rachel McAdams has to do in the picture, she is pushed to the breaking point, figuratively speaking. The film is like being trapped in a giant tube 30,000 feet in the air with a lunatic (Talk about your stressful situation) and through shear will power, amazing direction and solid performances this film is worth the watch. It a tension builder a potboiler that from the opening scene starts to build up, up, and up until it finally boils over in the hot-blooded finale. Rachel McAdams I have never really been a fan of I mean she is a good actress and everything she just never truly made a film(Besides "The Notebook") that I liked, then came along "RED EYE", McAdams is so honest and so powerful in her performance that she just explodes onscreen. McAdams does not play the usual “girl in a bad situation", no, her character Lisa Reisert is a tough resourceful young women who isn't afraid to kick some ass, and boy doe she kick ass. McAdams as it may seem is the one who steals the show but sorry to say that honor goes to the man who never gets the respect he deserves, Mr. Cillian Murphy. Cillian Murphy, I remember first seeing him in Christopher Nolan's reboot "Batman Begins" as the ever so menacing and yet poorly drawn out screen adaptation of Scarecrow Murphy was brilliant in that but sadly downplayed as a second rate villain next to Liam Neeson as the immortal Ra's al Ghul. Murphy demonstrated skill and craft in "Batman Begins" so much that I actually became a fan of his from just that film, now with "RED EYE" Murphy has solidified himself as one of my favorites and proved to me that he's more than just some bit player in a high profile film, Cillian Murphy is a true actor. People expecting more chills than thrills will not exactly get what they want but those who are looking for an intelligent, tension riddled and intense thrill ride need look no further than Wes Craven's "RED EYE.â€� This shows the director’s craft and skill at much more than just horror and proves that a thriller can be much more than just big explosions and wall-to-wall action.… Expand
