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.

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.

If anyone but Craven ....The man who brought us Last House On The Left, Nightmare On Elm Street, Scream, etc Maybe I'd give it a pass as a not so good horror film But no very disappointing Near as I can figure Craven must've needed the money

Jackson Rippner: Last name's Rippner. Lisa Reisert: Jack Rippner... Jack theee... oooohhhh. Jackson Rippner: There you go. Lisa Reisert: That wasn't very nice of your parents. 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.

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.

I do not understand why so many critics loved this movie. It is boring, completely unsurprising, there is a severe lack of character depth and I could not love this movie if someone paid me to. If you're looking for a classic thriller, don't look here.

This is okay to watch, nothing really exceptional though. It starts out pretty interesting but the last half hour or so is that typical chase you see in more or less every movie of this kind...

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.

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.

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.

Craven attempts a more realistic attempt at horror with Red Eye but fails to scare. Murphy and McAdams both throw awful performances and the script winds to a ridiculous conclusion.

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.

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.

Kind of the definition of a popcorn flick. Solid and entertaining but nothing substantial. I highly recommend it if you're having a movie night with beers and mates and shit, where you don't want to watch trash but still want to see something you can kind of talk between and don't need to be 100% focused on. I like that it's short, and the two main actors do an awesome job.

Look, all you modern feminists! A strong female character before they became a thing! And charismatic and well-composed even! Before the Emily Blunts and especially before the Gal Gadots of our age of (fake) feminism. Who knew... Joke aside, the chemistry between Murphy and McAdams is STELLAR and the energy and character they put into their performances, in this textbook-perfect example of suspense thriller done right is admirable. A great and gripping journey, masterful execution by Craven.

Not many characters here, but the small and talented cast works the best. Rachel McAdams has innocent enough vibes up until she puts her high-heeled shoe through someone's flesh. The last part was definitely better and more exciting than the rest of the movie as I feel that for the actual plane part, the suspense did not work too well and the plot slowed down too much for its own good.

This movie sort of took me for a ride. Yes, it has some excellent tension and both Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams had some great performances... but this movie kind of disappointed me too. It was hard to rate this because the first half of the film does have excellent tension and you don't know where the movie is going to go. Then you see that this trained killer, Cillian Murphy named Jack Ripner, can't handle threatening a woman who works at a job I used to work at, a hotel...

One of the best Thrillers I've seen in a very long time! You have to expect the best from Wes Craven, and this film is the best in its genre for 2005. Well worth your time, and a great movie to add to the DVD collection. Great acting and a great story/plot.

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.

Un thriller divertissant grâce aux interprètes, qui jouent bien leur rôle cliché. McAdams celui de l'héroïne qui ne doit pas mourir, et qui sait tout faire pour se défendre. Murphy celui du tueur intelligent, jusqu'à un certain moment où il devient stupide et doit absolument mourir, happy end oblige. C'est con mais c'est cool.

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.

Murphy's performance is solid, with the impenetrable persona of harmless attractive white guy that acts as the perfect cheat code in a War on Terror era whose paranoias don't involve his kind and leave folks equally unguarded, but as a thriller it lacks momentum and feels too expository, as a political story its too rooted in generic action camp to deliver a point, its attempts to show triumph over misogyny strike as condescending, and the climax is just cartoony and deflates Murphy entirely.

Watchable thriller with a strong and believable female lead. McAdams does a good job being weak enough to induce tension, but strong enough to come good. Murphy is pleasingly creepy, even when he's supposed to be nice. Over all the section on the plane is very well put together, but is let down a bit by the scooby doo capers on the ground.

Non-descript terrorists aim to blow up the head of the Dept of Homeland Security's family in this slight, but nimble thriller from Wes Craven. He still knows his way around a 'psycho killer chasing a young woman around the house' scene, but it's hard to care by the point, as the movie's grip on reality deplaned about thirty minutes beforehand. Cilian Murphy still has a ways to go before he can assume the lineage of Peter Lorre and Christopher Walken, but it's a start.

Red Eye is a solid thriller starring the very beautiful Rachel McAdams (and some other actors). Besides the eye candy, the movie has almost no plot and some silly situations, but still with only 80 minutes running time, this movie is actually effective. It's fast, it's somewhat tense and it's fun - you get what you expect.
