Red Eye DVD

Lisa is having a bad day. On the way home from her grandmother's funeral, her flight is seriously delayed. But things seem to be looking up as she continually bumps into a charming man at the airport terminal. Except Jackson is more than he seems; and under the veneer of charm and respectability lurks a dangerous man. As it turns out, his meeting with Lisa has been carefully engineered and she is soon embroiled in an assassination plot and her father's ...
...is no stranger to building sweaty-palmed tension and with "Red Eye" he makes an effective return to the thriller genre. Thankfully Craven has stepped back from his self-referential ways and plays the whole movie straight. It's a very lean film in many respects; keeping the number of main characters and locations to a minimum and shying away from effects money shots in favour of slowly building tension and the power of suggestion. Exposition is brief ...

Review of Red Eye DVD

Red Eye is directed by none other than the horror expert himself, 'Wes Craven'. With top films such as 'Scream', 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'A Nightmare On Elm Street', under his belt, Wes is no doubt one of the top men within the horror film industry. However, he is also quite the star when it comes to creating good, intense, thrillers, and red Eye is no exception. *** The Plot *** After attending the funeral of her recently departed grandmother, ...
...to her job as a hotel manager. However, on what should be a regular flight back to Miami, she encounters a mysterious stranger named Jack Ripner. Jack comes across as a strange, kind of arrogant, yet strangely sweet at the same time, guy. Undoubtedly handsome, Lisa cannot resist his charms when he asks her to have a drink with him before the flight. Letting her guard down she chats freely to Jack and loses him as she goes to board the flight. Upon ...

...an annoying young, pretty one. Red Eye appealed to me because of these two actors and also because it is directed by Wes craven who I usually like so I was looking forward to having the DVD to review for you all. ----- So What is the Film About? (Reading from the back of the box) Lisa Reisert hates to fly, but the terror that awaits her on the night flight to Miami has nothing to do with a fear of flying. Moments after takeoff, Lisa's seatmate, ...
...list is the making of red eye which I loved watching as I always hope there is a making of on every DVD. It gives you interviews with the actors and creators and why the film was made. This was very enjoyable because of the insight into how the script worked and why everybody was attracted to doing the film. It lasts around eleven minutes so you get quite a lot to watch. Wes Craven a new type of thriller is interesting because it shows why he likes ...

Review of Red Eye DVD

...just kind of assumed that Red Eye would be a horror movie too. It is, in fact, a thriller. It's a simple one too - think Phone Booth meets Panic Room and you're a third of the way there. You're only a third though because those two films are far superior to this. More Bruckheimer than Craven, the film opens as it means to go on. A thundering soundtrack accompanies underhand dealings in a fish market (I kid you not) where big fish are being used ...
...than let them live. Red Eye is a story in three acts - a vaguely concealed attempt to put together a Hitchcock thriller. Act one is "introduction". This is the settling down for the audience where we watch Lisa walk unsuspectingly into a trap. Act two is "peril". This is where Lisa realises her plight and starts to get herself into a sticky mess. Act three is "action". This is where….well, you'll have to watch the film for yourself to fill in the ...

Review of Red Eye DVD

...but then the script for Red Eye came across his desk and pulled him back behind the camera. The film is in the classic Hitchcock mould and boasts a simple premise with a compact story that mainly revolves around a handful of cast members and locations. Lisa (Rachel McAdams) is a hotel manageress taking the last flight home to Miami. The flight is delayed and in the queue she meets a handsome man named Jack Rippner (Cillian Murphy) who she ends ...
...on the ground alive. Red Eye is one of those films that does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a neat thriller that is very fast paced and goes from A to B in no time at all. As the final credits roll you realize that only 79-minutes have passes. Personally I like films that manage to satisfy in the shortest amount of time possible. This is one film that cuts out all the fat and keeps itself mean and lean. The chemistry between McAdams and ...

Review of Red Eye DVD

Red Eye comes from the mind of Horror film supremo Wes Craven, who has brought us such terrors as A Nightmare on Elm Street. The only thing I really knew about this film before watching was that it was set aboard a 'red-eye' flight (V late night flight) where a passenger is targeted for some reason by a fellow passenger. I thought it was a typical Wes Craven offering, with blood and gore all over the place. As it turns out though, this is more ...
...THE FILM: Lisa Reisart (Rachel McAdams) works for a high profile hotel in Miami, which often caters to the rich and powerful. When her Grandmother dies, she attends the funeral out of town then hops on the red-eye bak to Miami. In the airport she encounters helpful stranger Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy) who helps defuse a tense situation with another passenger. They go their seperate ways, but keeo bumping into each other around the airport ...

Review of Red Eye DVD

If Cosmo wrote thrillers, you would get 'Red Eye'. I didn't see much publicity for it, which is probably a good thing, especially when nowadays amount of publicity never seems to accurately indicate the quality of the film. Rachel McAdams is a great actress, an extremely likeable character. She plays a hotel manager with a fear of flying, who ends up sitting next to the worst possible passenger - a charming hit man whose job is to get her to help ...
...or else the man stationed outside her house will kill her father. Cillian Murphy plays the bad guy extremely well, just the right level of sleazy and charming, and completely evil. A thing I liked about the film was that Murphy plays a bad guy who is also clever, just as McAdams is a clever victim trying to catch him out, he quickly catches on to her attempts to escape well enough to make you not have to scream at the screen at any obvious loopholes. ...

Review of Red Eye DVD

This thriller takes place mainly on an aircraft. The intense cramped feel of the environment really shows through with the variety of camera angles, effects and scene used to enhance the increasing tension. The plot is very simple and when it 'takes off' is quite predictable at times. There are a few surprises but the enjoyment comes from anticipation for the outcome. Casting for the film was very well thought out. Characters worked well with each ...
...The sound effects and music used to accompany the story worked well however sometimes they seemed almost to be in the way. Fortunately this does not affect the progression of the film or the enjoyability. This is perfect if you are looking to have a night in alone or with some friends. It is likely you will want to watch it more than once because the story is easy to follow while still having its surprises and is also each viewing is just as intense ...
