I thought the movie was horror, it was suspense and drama. I think its more like first "Speed" movie. Wow, this is another slambang affair. I cant wait to see this movie. Kita na sad ko sa ako crush, si Rachel McAdams.

Well, sounds interesting but I hope this movie has more gravitas to compensate for the already tired premise. The thing is I will be thrilled and taken at the edge of my seat if I see a maniacal brute like Ray Liotta in Turbulence but I hope there's also something fun to think about RED EYE after I watch this film.

Yeah I hope so. The plot is something that is already common. But this film might spring a surprise. Looks like Cillian Murphy is the newest bad guy in town. After being a bad guy in Batman, he is again playing villain in this movie. Abi gyud nako love story based on the trailer. Pwerti jud nakong ilara.

It is interesting to see Craven take a new direction away from his typical slasher genre. He goes out of horror and the supernatural to do a standard suspense thriller and does well at it. I love the intensity Cillian Murphy brings to the role. I have seen him in 28 DAYS LATER, the good-hearted hero. But after seeing him as Dr. Jonathan Crane and in here, Jackson Rippner, it is clear that he is more than versatile an actor. Rachel McAdams as Lisa gives a good enough performance, while her colleague named Cynthia is indeed hilarious comic relief. Watch the scene after the "missile aftermath", you can clearly see the ocean just behind Cynthia as she's speaking on the cellphone.
It's formulaic in the sense of the "feminist" aspect of the standard thriller genre. When I hear the words Wes Craven all that can be associated is guilty pleasure. Indeed, I was pleased. Lisa isn't entirely a 1-dimensional character either, she's professional in dealing with situations she says that there are no a-holes of customers, just people with special needs. But we see the reversal of her professional level-headedness and esteemed control when she has difficulty pulling herself together to make the call that Rippner demands. The movie ends in a breath-taking chase that's very standard, and very Wes Craven. And for some reason I felt some freshness in seeing Bryan Cox play a good guy after seeing him play villaneous roles in Adaptation or the X-Men films and a rather contentious father in the "The Ring" Hollywood version. The last scene retains the happy go-lucky mood in Act 1 that is a direct contrast to the inevitable tension that takes place throughout the film. (Rachel tells the two eldery customers to do what after they write a comment?)
Anything but a see breeze.

Grade B+

I'm excited to watch this movie... going to watch it this weekend!

The "assassins in the yacht" was cool... I didn't expect it to turn into an action thriller at some point near the end.

Code Red! Let's move!

this also reminds me of my days as a little kid, the kinds of suspense movies my yayas will watch on cable on HBO or cinemax... standard thriller that has a light ending

It's a little too commercial though as you will see moments of bombast towards the film's final act but I like Macro Beltrami's uptight scoring - reminds me of his work in T3.

I absolutely agree with your words.... anyway, I thought the teaser was brilliant and eerily symbolic a tease indeed but the full trailer was pure crap. It gave away too much.... Red Eye's teaser was one of the best trailers I've seen recently.

Shhhhhh!
