Red Eye (2005)
I knew Red Eye was going to be cheesy, but I wanted to watch it anyway for the cast. Rachel McAdams looked absolutely beautiful, and Cillian Murphy had the charming bad boy character down pat. With those gorgeous eyes, I wondered why Rachel first declined having a pre-flight cocktail with him. She did end up joining him, but whatever chemistry started brewing between them was cut short for two reasons: Rachel’s grief over her grandmother, and Cillian’s secret identity.
Turns out, Cillian’s the villain! Who saw that coming? He’s planning on assassinating a big wig, and since Rachel works in hospitality management, he wants her to change the reservation of the head honcho’s room so he can be easily taken out. He also has kidnapped Rachel’s father, Brian Cox, and threatens to kill him if she refuses. And, since they’re stuck on an airplane sitting together, there’s really no way for her to refuse. Naturally, Rachel’s character is an idiot and makes every mistake in the book. She calls him crazy, she tries to escape, and sends secret messages to other passengers. So ladies, if there’s every a really cute psycho who sits next to you on an airplane and threatens you, remember everything Rachel does and don’t do it.
If you like these types of cheesy thrillers and you like the cast, you’ll be entertaining by Red Eye. It’s not fantastic, but it certainly won’t hurt you.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. When Rachel goes into the bathroom, the cameral spins around in a circle, and that will make you sick. In other words, "Don't Look, Mom!"
