Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review IRed Eye/I is the latest movie from Wes Craven, whose most recent successes, the IScream/I trilogy, give some flavour of what to expect here. P The action once again centres on a strong, young woman, this time called Lisa and played by Rachel McAdams (recently seen in IWedding Crashers/I), who spends all her time managing a busy hotel. On a flight back from a funeral, she finds herself sat next to a wealthy businessman, played by Cillian Murphy (whose performance remains one of the many highlights of IBatman Begins/I. He has an agenda however, that involves using Lisa to clear the way for a contract killing at her hotel. With her father at home under constant watch, and sat next to a man threatening to kill him, the stage is set for a healthy little thriller. P And that's just what IRed Eye/I is. While some distance away from Craven's best work, it has some big pluses in its favour. Firstly, it's a very swift ride that doesn't outstay its welcome, speeding through plot developments that others in the genre would sit and ponder on for some time. It's also got the charm of Rachel McAdams in the lead role, who pitches well against the sneer and creepiness of Cillian Murphy. And finally, it delivers good old fashioned Friday night fun, without having pretensions to do anything else. P So while it's hardly a defining thriller in any way, nor is it without one or two unintentional giggles, IRed Eye/I works surprisingly well. In the hands of a lesser director, it's got all the ingredients for straight-to-video hell, but with Craven at the helm and his two leads performing well, it's a movie that happily punches above its weight.--ISimon Brew/I

It#x27;s smart, suspenseful and stylish.brLisa something-or-other is the manager of the Lux Hotel in Miami, and after meeting a man Jackson, she thinks he is perfect, until she finds out his secret: He is under a plot to assasinate the leader of homeland security, and Lisa is the key to his success. I don#x27;t want to give too much away, but the suspense in the first 3/4 of the movie is outstanding. Its probably Misery, take away the violence, plus the likes of The Net, and Speed 2. brYou get so sad when the plane lands, but a very high octan chase starts, and when you watch it again, you#x27;ll be dying for the plane to land. The chase scenes are the kind when you can hardly breathe, and are literally on the edge of your seat (unlike mentally on the edge of your seat, ahem) An excellent thriller - and no sex, nudity or bad language! May 3, 2008 Honest John (Surrey, England) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful The fact that this movie is classified as suitable for 12 years olds meant that the whole family could sit and watch it, which we did, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. br / br /However, don't let this fool you into thinking that this film is not for adults. It's a gripping movie right up to the end. I guess the rating is due to the fact that the movie does not contain sex, nudity or bad language - a blessing in my view and proof that it is possible to make an action/thriller/suspense movie without the need to introduce these elements (although the movie does contain some violence). br / br /Other reviewers here have described the plot so it seems pointless to repeat these details but I highly recommend this movie. A thriller in which the suspense gradually increases to a dramatic climax with the two main characters, a seemingly friendly but ultimately evil villain and an unfortunate victim trapped and apparently at his mercy, both excellently portrayed by Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams. br / br / Excellent! December 24, 2005 Ms. B. Mahei (uk) 4 out of 7 found this review helpful Watched this movie at the cinema and it is great, i would recommend it, as it is a very intresting and surprising thriller.brVery well done and when it finishes you want wish it was for longer more, im definately buying this when it comes out! Tense little thriller August 7, 2008 Langdon Ulder (England) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The thing that I like about Red Eye is that most of the film is set in one location, the plane. Most films that are set in one location become boring after half an hour but Red Eye is different. br / br /Lisa Reisert (Rachael McAdams), is flying home to Miami after going to her grandmother's funeral in Texas. After discovering her flight is delayed, she is asked by Jackson Ripner (Cillian Murphey), a fellow passenger is she would like a drink in the airport bar, at first, Lisa refuses but after thinking it through, she says yes. br / br /After Lisa and Jackson finish their drinks and say their goodbyes, Lisa boards the plane and is delighted to discover that she will be sitting next to Jackson. After take-off, Jackson reveals that he is the head of a assassin organisation and he needs Lisa to call her her hotel in Miami, and put a high profile politition is a different room to make is easier for Jackson's assassins to kill him, and if Lisa refuses, then Jackson will tell a assassin who is waiting outside Lisa's dads house to kill him. br / br /Red Eye is a fantastic film to enjoy on a Friday night with your family and friends. Love this movie July 27, 2006 Ella (UK) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful Wow is Cillian Murphy scary in this movie...really enjoyed this thriller.
