Review of Red Eye

Red Eye (2005)
8/10
The wonderfully expressive acting carries the show
21 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is a thoroughly entertaining thriller. A hotel manager (Rachel McAdams) is blackmailed by an assassin (Cillian Murphy) while on an airplane trip to assist in the killing of a politician.

Wes craven directs and shows he is just at good at non gory thrillers as horror movies. The part on the airplane shows off the wonderfully expressive faces of the two stars the lovely and believable Rachel McAdams and the fascinatingly creepy Cillian Murphy with those eyes. Rachel can do any kind of movie from romance to thriller to comedy. If ever there was chemistry between villain and victim this movie has it. Their dialog is well written. The part in the house later recalls the Scream movies but is more realistic. Watch out for Jayma Mays from Glee in a supporting role.

Highly recommended.
