Movie Reviews of Red Eye [UMD for PSP]
Movie Review: Tense Psychological Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
SOME SPOILERS INCLUDED.
In this taut suspense-thriller, Murphy plays a charming stranger that our protagonist, Lisa, meets on a Red Eye flight to Miami. Their chemistry is immediate and she finds herself drawn to the attractive guy with the intense blue eyes. The first part of the movie misleads the viewer into letting down their guard and joining in their flirtation.
But their meeting was not happenstance instead it's part of a larger plot involving a political assassination that Murphy's character "Jackson Rippner" (yes, even Jackson is in on the joke) has orchestrated as a "manager" of government overthrows and high profile assassinations.
What follows in the second half is an intense mind game/power struggle between Lisa and her tormentor, all on-board an airplane. This claustrophobic scene plays particularly well and both actors should be commended on their performances. They are so real that the instances of violence really shock. (particularly the knock-out scene)
The last part of the movie amps up the action and pushes our characters into a showdown. While at this point it becomes less realistic, it does offer some fun action including an explosion thrown in for good measure.
While I fully expected Murphy's suave, arrogant character to get the beat-down that he so deserved, I did find the shift from the ultra-controlled, condesending assassin to the less than effective killer to be a bit "off" but I was the only one in my family that noted it so it just must be me. (yeah, yeah, he was stabbed and shot, that will put anyone off their game)
Don't let the PG13 rating put you off.. it's tense. The violence isn't over-the-top gore but it is effective. The film's short running time keeps everything in motion. And I liked Rippner's ambiguous end. Perhaps they had a sequel in mind?
Also, just for fun note Cillian's character (Jackson) states that he never lies.. if that's true then check out the subtle way he side-steps Lisa's question when she asks him if he is a hitman...
Summary of Red Eye [UMD for PSP]
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/10/2006 Run time: 86 minutes Rating: Pg13Veteran horror director Wes Craven lends his proven talent to the non-horror thriller Red-Eye, turning it into an above-average potboiler that makes the most of its 85 tension-packed minutes. That's a perfect running time for a movie like this, in which a resourceful heroine Lisa (Rachel McAdams, the breakout star of 2005) is trapped on a red-eye flight with creepy villain Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy, even more menacing than he was as the Scarecrow in Batman Begins) who's playing middle-man in the plot to assassinate a Homeland Security official. He's got her father pinned down by a would-be killer, using that advantage to coerce Lisa into phoning the luxury resort where she works and arranging to move the target into a pre-set position. It's a situation from which there is seemingly no escape, but of course Craven and screenwriter Carl Ellsworth find a way to milk the suspenseful dilemma for all it's worth, even managing to wedge in a few intriguing character details to enhance the fast-moving plot. It's still a B-movie, but it's tightly constructed and well-executed by Craven, whose previous films made him a perfect choice to maximize all that Red-Eye has to offer. --Jeff Shannon
