Edward Rodden I spent a lot of time laughing at this film, which was supposed to be scary.

cmovies-99674 PROS: Real fear. This film takes a very far fetched idea from reality and makes me have fear like it could actually happen. This is what really drives home the build up of tension. Terror of the mind, is psychological horror. Terror of the body, is torture horror. Terror of the unknown, is sci-fi horror. And terror of realism, is slasher/tense horrors like this one. Its's all about drawing in the watcher into this world of panic that can actually be sustained. This movie does a great job at delivering this from beginning to end, and most importantly the end. Each scene is quite alluring in the fact that you want to know more, and when you get to the ending the director does an excellent job at making "all hell break loose" when trying to develop an ending that is memorable, interesting, helpful, and congruent to the plot.CONS: The one thing poor about this film is the acting. Granted the acting wasn't bad, at all, but the acting was most certainly not full of extraordinary actors. Everyone felt very flat, or average.www.chorror.com

Cean E. Lumbaca I've known Wes Craven through his iconic films such as Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Red Eye for me came as a surprise. Although shallow, the film had me at the edge of my seat. The last few moments of the movie were thrilling. It was a breath of fresh air for Craven to direct a film like Red Eye. I also like the movie set inside an airplane, at the airport, and in the hotel - I come from the hospitality sector and this film is somewhat a good vibe to me seeing those places.Cillian Murphy's acting is great and intimidating. He's mysterious and manipulative. On the other hand, Rachel McAdams is also okay but I think she needs more practice when it comes to thrillers because she's known for comedies and chick-flicks. Overall, the movie is terrific.

NDbportmanfan I typically do not enjoy watching intense action movies as they are always set in these unrealistic situations but this movie is an exception. Lisa is a hotel manager that has to return home to attend a funeral and on her return flight she is sitting next to a hired hand whose goal is to assassinate the head of Homeland Security.Lisa is not suspicious in the slightest because the two had such a great conversation at the bar right before the plane took off.As far as story goes, I thought it was really solid as all of the character's motives were clear and made sense to the overall plot. I didn't find any glaring clichés that would make you roll your eyes, but instead an edge of your seat movie that makes you wonder if everything is going to turn out okay. Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy were just great in this movie, plain and simple which was crucial in the films success as the story is centered around their constant interactions. There is not much more I can say about it Murphy was just so intimidating and sweet when he had to be.I highly recommend giving this film a try.
