Red Eye (2005)

I loved this film. I really did. I loved a lot of things about this film. And while this sounds like I am going to follow up with my complaints about the film, I’m not going to. I love this film, I love Wes Craven, and I love the cast in this film. Rachel McAdams pulls off a great performance in this film as the scared heroin, unwillingly thrust into this position of having to work with a terrorist (Cillian Murphy) to murder a very powerful business person (whatever he does, I missed and didn’t bother to look it up on the internet). The result of this is insanely fast-paced, dashed with some very sick humor here and there (the best kind), and a huge amount of fun. Murphy plays the role so well, I believed that he really was a murderous freak. And if I ever go to Hollywood, I really hope that he’s just an amazing actor. Rachel McAdams also gives off an astounding performance that looks like she has a gun to her head right behind the camera, unknown to us viewers. Didn’t they do that for Poltergeist? Anyway, whether or not Wes Craven had a gun, he did an amazing job directing these amazing actors for this amazing film. Everything falls into place! And I had a heck of a time watching it.
