Red Eye

red_eye.jpgSurprisingly, I actually liked this movie a lot. Foxy Rachel McAdams is some kind of manager at some swanky hotel in Miami where VIPs frequently stay. It so happens that some big Homeland Security guy is checking in there tonight, though that’s very hush hush. She’s flying back there from the west coast on a red eye flight and keeps bumping into super creepy Cilian Murphy in the airport lines and at the bar. Miraculously, they are also sitting together on the flight. The story proceeds to go on that Cilian Murphy is setting up a hit on Mr. Homeland Security and is quasi-holding Rachel McAdams’ father hostage unless she helps set it up from the inside of the hotel. She then proceeds to do all of this crazy stuff to save her father and Mr Homeland Security.

The premise doesn’t really sound appealing, but it’s actually very well done. It’s not overly tense, but has lots of really goofy and quirky things happening on the flight that make it very enjoyable. Admittedly, it arrived from Netflix a while ago. It’s one of those movies that’s hard to get motivated to watch, but ends up actually being worth it. I gave it a glorious 4 stars with Nutflix.
