All Movie Zone

It’s nice to see Wes Craven make a film minus the slashing. The action scenes in this movie are convincing but Red Eye has an absurd plot. Why conduct an elaborate operation to abduct a hotel manager in mid-flight, and then tell her to transfer a visiting guest at her hotel to another suite so the guest could be assassinated? The plot is really senseless although we viewers can barely notice this since we are paying too much attention to the verbal and physical exchanges happening between Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy. Of course, we love those two actors, villain or not. Rachel was the breakthrough actress in The Notebook; Cillian was the hunk known for his frontal nudity in 28 Days Later.
