Red Eye

Red Eye doesn’t have many ambitions beyond being the ultimate “bad guy to sit next to on an airplane” story. It’s like an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents given a slightly longer running time.

Fortunately, Rachel McAdams, who has to carry this film, does an admirable job of doing so, without the sort of “look at this great performance” stuff a bigger name might well have given us. And that elevates this bit of fluff into being quite impressive fluff.

Fun stuff, and a film that should definitely keep McAdams’ star on the rise and help director Wes Craven get more chances to spread his wings without Freddy Kruger around.

A definite recommendation for thriller fans.
