Movie Review: Red Eye
(Possible spoilers from here on out...)
The Short: Busy hotel manager Lisa Reisert find herself and her father's life at risk when she is needed in a plot to assassinate a polititian staying at Lisa's hotel. When she is "kidnapped" at 30,000 by her seatmate in a cross-country flight she must choose to help the assassin and let her father live, or refuse and put her father's life on the line.
The Good: At first I thought this movie would get a little old after awhile, mostly taking place in an airplane and all, but to my surprise it kept a pretty good pace and kept us exntertained for the whole couple hours. Also, Cillian Murphy is a scary guy...
The Bad: It didn't really get Thriller-ish until the last couple scenes. And half the movie your sitting there thinking, "When does this thing actually start to get intense?"
Also, this film is about a group of assassins. The only death in the entire film is of one of the assassins... I guess they're not good at their job.
The Overalls: I gave this film an "Aight..." rating. Nothing special. Just a fun little thriller.
*** (3/5)
