WHOA! Okay, I have been excited for this movie for quite awhile, being a huge Rachel McAdams fan! All I've heard is good reviews from this movie! So I was so excited today I saw it and from the first minute to the last I was hooked! Wes Craven is Back! This movie had me on the edge of my seat for the whole movie the movies filled with jumps, twists and majour suspense. I would suggest this to anyone who liked phone booth or any hostage situation movie. This is the first movie I've seen in theaters where people are actually cheering for people! It was like being at a hockey game people were yelling, clapping! No one walked out disappointed everyone came out talking and smiling! I recomend this to anyone! The two (Rachel McAdams and Cilian Murphy) are genius together they have great chemistry! Best movie of the Summer of 05 you wont be disappointed walking out of this! Get off your computer and run to the theaters!

This is a remake isn't it?

I heard that there was going to be a remake of 'THE EYE', but tht comes out in like 2007!

Nope, this isn't a remake at least I don't think but everyone go see it it's brilliant:)

Yeah, the eye, and red eye have alot in common... The name threw me off...

The name is the ONLY thing they have in common. Red Eye is the name of a plane or a flight or something I think. It has nothing to with actual eyes like The Eye does lol.

You know how you develop blood shot eyes when you stay up way too long at night? Basically its from lack of sleep. RED-EYE is a term used to explain how passengers develop red-eyes when the flight is an all-nighter.

At least, that's what I understand...

Oh! thats brililant I never would of thought of that!

Pretty good. Nothing ground-breaking, but it works. It's slick, entertaining, and suspenseful. Clocking in at 84 minutes does seem short, but there isn't much to the film, which I think is a greater strength for a film like this.

Wes Craven, after the disapointment "Cursed", is back with stylish direction and he creates high tension between two people who are seated next to each other for half the film. Some may get a little bored in the first 20 minutes, but if you can survive that, you'll be very entertained by the last half.

The leads, Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy, are very good. Lisa(McAdams) is very believable as the victim and Jackson(Murphy) is superb as the villian. Brian Cox, who I didn't recongnize due to his dyed hair, facial hair, and weight-loss, is decent in a role that isn't demanding. Jayma Mays as Cynthia was a great comic relief. Beautiful girl, hope we see her in more films.

The plot is simple. A hotel manager, Lisa, of Lux Atlantic in Maimi is pulled into a scheme to "help" assassinate Keefe, Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, who happens to be staying at her hotel. All she has to do is make a call to her assistant, Cynthia, and have her change Keefe's room(makes it easier for the "terrorists" plot). If "everything" fails then Lisa's father will die. Told you it was simple.

When the plane arrives in Maimi is when the action begins. It starts with an entertaining chase through the airport and continues to her father's home. There we go into Craven territory with suspense and chases. Watching the victim vs. the villian in Lisa's home seemed very "Scream", none the less it was extremely entertaining to watch.

What I personally like about this film is the character of Lisa Riesert. She's abused, both mentally and physically so badly in this film and watching her get her little revenge(hint: pen scene) was fantastically called for.

"Red-Eye" has definitely been one of the stronger and better films of this summer. See it, it's quite the rush.

I just saw this today. I thought it was pretty damn good up until the plane lands, than it's just mediocre (and it reminded me of Scream also when they're in the house) for the rest. The scenes on the plane were quite Hitchcockian at times and Cillian Murphy was great in the movie. He has such a sleezy look to him in the movie. He was great for the part. Rachael McAdams was quite good too (not to mention being absolutely stunning to look at :)). It was worth the money.

Saw it today. I thought it was soild entertainment with two great performances from McAdams and Murphy.

I can't say that I hated this film, Cillian Murphy is a very enjoyable actor but that's what he chose as a profession so we should expect it from him. No medals for this guy because he damned well better be solid or he'd be Ashton Kutcher.

I thought he played the perfect blend between nice guy and bad guy throughout the first and second acts of the film. Everything in the plane was great and as soon as they leave the film goes sour.

Everything in the third act is what Wes Craven has become, a cheap Hollywood director who has no good ideas left and has to cheese it up with lame fights that have a predictable outcome.

Hey, I don’t sugar coat my feelings even if it’s against popular demand.

Since I liked the first 2 acts which were basically all but the last 20 minutes I won’t judge it harshly based on the facts.

8 out of 10

The DVD however is pretty well put together and for once they didn’t have an unrated edition like most films (Even Cursed has one) so I’m glad they released 1 version of the film… for now anyway.

Good features and all so overall the package is worth a purchase if you like these types of films.

This something different that Wes Craven did. I usually liked watching slashers, but this made me enjoyed thrillers. Hm...

I watched the movie Redeye yesterday and I thought that it was a really good movie I usually do not like to watch movies like that but this one was espically good so if you have seen it write back soon later.

This movie was pretty good, nothing ground-breaking and its pretty much straight forward plot.  Not really any twists and turns along the way.

I did feel that a movie of this magnitude could have been longer(only 82 min) with a ton of fleshing out of characters and motives.

I downloaded it on my computer lol. It was pretty good though. There were some dull scenes, but Rachel Mccadams was all i need to look at. haha. Yeah, she was pretty hot in that movie. I agree the first acts were kind of dull and boring, but the last scenes were the best. That pen through the neck. Ouch! I liked the scene where shes running around the air port. And how come Murphy didnt finish off her dad when he saw him just lying on the floor, i mean he couldn;t have been dead.

I just saw this movie and thought it was flippin sweet! It was everything a thriller should be  and more...the only thing I had a prob. with is how short it was. But either way, for the hour and 16 minutes your locked down in your seat/couch/bed/office chair/ or whatever your sitting in! Get this movie!!

PS: Wow. I could like report you and make money! lol...jk...maybe! lol Just playing

Cillian Murphy is da man lol  He's good in everything I've ever seen him in.  

Cillian Murphey and Rachel McAdams both did a superior job in this. Great writing as well. Movies rarely ever reach the amount of suspense that this movie was able to create.

This movie was short, but isn't that sort of a good thing? I mean, movies today (I'm talking about thrillers/horrors) are stretched out to 2 hours and 15 minutes for no reason.

I think this movie would have been less thrilling if it had been longer.

Quoted from FilmMaker06 This movie was short, but isn't that sort of a good thing?

Yes, it was short.  But if it didn't work, it would be too long.

Great tension, great acting, interesting story and Wes Craven knows something about keeping an audience on edge.
Saw it when it opened and I've got to catch up with it again.  Does the DVD have a lot of cool features??
