Suspense/Thriller
1h 25m
Wes Craven presents a suspense thriller at 30,000 feet. Lisa Reisert (McAdams) hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with fear of flying. Moments after takeoff, Lisa's seatmate Jackson (Murphy), menacingly reveals that he is an operative in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security -- and Lisa is the key to his success. (DreamWorks Pictures)

Cillian Murphy's "bad guy" character is absolutely terrible. He accidentally gives information to Rachel McAdams' character multiple times so it's ridiculous to think he's even been doing his "line of work" for any time at all. Also Rachel McAdams meets every single problem she encounters by crying. Hurray for making women look like emotionally uncontrolled fools.

Ridiculous. McAdams is kinda hot but the whole thing is just so unbelievably preposterous....and yet deadly serious. Ironically, if this exact script had been shot with a sillier tone, it probably would've been funnier than most of Craven's other attempts at comedy.

Doesn't quite stick the landing (wink). Starts out good but crashes and burns (wink, wink). Flies a great start until it blows up (nudge). Explodes on impact (nudge, nudge). Nah, they land safely, but then the movie keeps going which is a shame.

Jackson Rippner: That's what I told them. Before I killed them. That sums up the writing for the entire film, pointless crap, really that didnt impress me.

A decent thriller, nothing really special but Cillian Murphy is great. The film gains extra credit in my eyes for daring to have a runtime of only 85 minutes in the age of epic, drawn-out, 3-hour-long butt-numbers.

Red Eye is a very entertaining film that thankfully understands that it doesn't need to be two hours long to still be entertaining. It has two lead actors with great chemistry, a very sharp pacing which makes sure that we are never bored, enough laughs to keep the mood light despite what's happening throughout, and is just pretty fun overall. It's silly, and it doesn't always make complete sense, but it's very enjoyable and is absolutely worth the 85 minutes it takes to play.

She's taking the "red eye" but the airport is jam-packed? She's only got 10 minutes to make her flight but seems pissed when it is delayed? The bad guy can survive an ink pen to the throat and still run? The unintentional comedy saves this movie from being a zero.

Starts off as a great, near-Hitchcockian thriller, but devolves into a generic psychotic-killer-chasing-an-innocent-woman plot. Bad acting from the supporting cast and poor directorial choices mar what could have been a great thriller.

Cillian Murphy was pretty good, but his character went from totally in control, to an incompetent bumbling idiot by the end of the movie. Nothing in it was really original, you could predict every upcoming scene, but it was still engaging, at least for the first two thirds. Once they get off the plane it got quite boring. I know it's PG-13, but it just looks so unnatural when someone gets stabbed in the throat and there isn't a single drop of blood. Decent enough thriller.

Been almost 20 yrs since I first saw this. Was fun to see McAdams, Murphy and Cox two decades younger, but this one misses more than it hits. I still was entertained for the most part, but I kept eye rolling harder and harder as we progressed. A generous 5.9 for the decent acting. The script was pretty mediocre.

At the very beginning, one can foresee just how hackneyed and trite this forgettable little drill is going to be. The terrorist plan is 10x more convoluted than it needs to be, and is comprised completely of things that could go awry. There's not a believable, subtle or organic moment in the movie. What makes it tolerable is that sometimes, its leads will be so engaging that one can be soothed into forgetting the decay and banality, which is still present even during its best moments.

A fun and decently directed suspense thriller and probably as thrilling as you can expect from a PG13 from 2005. In these types of cat-kidnaps-mouse scenario’s where most of the action takes places in 1 isolated, familiar setting, it tends to work if the script, director and characters are always a step ahead of you and not too big of a truckload of disbelief has to be suspended. Red Eye did some of that, but could have been more inventive. Rachel McAdams is delightful, as usual.

This film relies on a fairly early plot twist that is very difficult not to reveal. The less you know about this movie before you see it, the better it will be. Don't read the back cover or look at the front cover. Don't look at that little picture they've got. Just watch the movie. It's a good suspense movie.

Strong performances by McAdams & Murphy are bolstered by a solid premise & tense, claustrophobic atmosphere, but also hindered by a very hamfisted & inauthentic feminist angle as well as humor that doesn't work & detracts from the darker moments quite a bit. This feels like a romantic comedy that was reworked into a thriller, and it definitely comes off as clumsy & undercooked at times, with a few iffy plot points & ridiculous moments. Still, it's not bad & is worth a watch.

Two-thirds of a good movie. The setting, and the way Craven weaves his camera through it, give the film its edge: the plane is claustrophobic and there's nowhere to run. In the air, it soars. Too bad the landing crashes and burns, as the qualities that made the film distinct are tossed out the window in favour of nonsense chase sequences we've seen a million times. Still, it's a short flick that never out-stays its welcome. It just could have been a lot better, because for a while there, it was.

McAdams and Murphy have zero chemistry, making the first act a little too awkward, which might have been intentional, but still. Once the actual movie gets underway, their performances get much better. The third act goes off the rails a little but it's still a good conclusion.

An engaging thriller that doesn't do much to substantiate its plot, but it's really about the great interplay between Murphy and McAdams anyways. The former shines first as the creepy killer both disturbingly forceful and frighteningly charming, while the latter, with a stab of a pen to the throat, goes full-on badass as the plane touches down, stealing a car, running over a bad guy, and duking it out one-on-one with another, all before telling her jerk hotel customers to shove it up their ass.

A genre film that, unusually, seems to have been better-regarded by critics than audiences, perhaps because of the way it is framed (slightly) as a contest between masculine and feminine forms of competence. Brisk but not suspenseful enough, the opening scenes hold promise, but the filmmakers eventually run out of ideas and resort to a standard chase around the house to bring things to a very predictable conclusion.

W4E2P2S1V1M1A2R3. Maybe my favorite popcorn thriller ever. Not transcendent by any means, but a pretty perfectly orchestrated and executed tense nail-biter, with a great cast. Agree with some that there was probably an ending that would have fit the mood better and driven it to transcendence, but this one was still fine.
