Review of Red Eye

Red Eye (2005)
7/10
Great Airplane Thriller
20 June 2006
Lisa is a woman going on the flight, Red Eye, to visit her dad who is divorced to his wife. She meets a nice man, Jack, before going on the flight. They somehow sit next to each other in the flight. Next thing, Jack told Lisa that he is an Assassinator. She doesn't believe him at first but soon finds out he has something to do with her father. He tells her if she doesn't change the suite of a man he has to kill, he'll call his friend, who is outside Lisa's dad house, and tell him to kill the dad. She is forced to follow Jack's plan.

This film is a great thriller. McAdams' and Mruphy's performances are above average. There are some funny scenes here and there. A good thing about this movie is that she finds out ways to ask for help without Jack knowing. But Jack soon finds out and Lisa's plan is destroyed. The way that she asks for help could be done in REAL life instead of in the movie. The end kinda goes over the top over realism but it's a movie.

This is also a really short movie that can be seen so many times that you won't get tired of it. The film starts off to be a romantic comedy but soon turns into a thriller. It ends with the big finale when Jack chases Lisa out of the plane. Almost 75% of the film took place on the plane, which the previews are always on the plane. Flightplan is another airplane thriller that is really good. Wes Craven captures the really terrifying moments in the movie. This is his first thriller he has ever directed and it's a good movie.

This movie will keep you to the edge-of-your-seats. This is a thrilling movie. Just sit back and enjoy the movie as it is.
