Paul A Fantastic cast, the chemistry that leads to the drama between the two main characters is delightful. The only low points are the scenes outside of their duel, but they're absolutely forgiveable. While there's certainly suspension of belieft as events cascade and consquences unroll I was fully engaged and genuinely enjoyed the experience. Recently saw Drop and it felt like a cheap knock off. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Piya S Underrated film with great performances Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Jiny S It's fast and has a lot of action. The plot is quite simple and there's not a lot of deeper meaning. A fancy hotel manager was blackmailed on a plane to use her authority to move a political VIP to a different room so the Russian bad guys can get to him. She fights off the blackmailing bad guy on the plane and again at her father's home. Would have been better if the MC's actions made sense. Like, why did she run away when she's at the airport, the most secure place in the world. Why can't she call instead of stealing a car? Why go head on against a guy with a knife? I guess if she did the logical thing, there would be no drama then. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Tracy M What an awful film. Unbelievable and ridiculous, that’s 85 minutes I will never get back again. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Craig B Red Eye is a fairly entertaining thriller in the hands of the legendary Wes Craven (SCREAM franchise). Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy are both solid in the main roles and the movie moves at a good pace, not least due to the short runtime. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Ralph R Red Eye is a solid thriller that builds tension well, especially in its first act. The slow-paced setup allows for strong character introductions, but it does feel like Rachel McAdams' character should have picked up on Cillian Murphy's unsettling presence sooner. The second act loses some momentum, with certain scenes dragging more than necessary, but Wes Craven's direction keeps the suspense alive. The final act is where the movie really kicks into gear, delivering a satisfying climax. The script does a good job of balancing psychological tension with action, though some moments require a suspension of disbelief-especially regarding in-flight conversations that seemingly go unnoticed by passengers. Cinematography is straightforward but effective, using tight framing to enhance the claustrophobic feel of the setting. Cillian Murphy brings an eerie, controlled intensity, while McAdams carries the film well with a believable performance. The supporting characters don't add much, and the film occasionally misdirects attention to elements that don't pay off. The score complements the suspense but isn't particularly memorable. While not groundbreaking, Red Eye is an entertaining, well-crafted thriller that works best when it leans into its psychological tension rather than its action.
