Although McNutterson didn't pick the movie that I thought she would for girls night out, she still picked an alright one, being at the mercy of the movie releases as she was. Red Eye is a thriller directed by Nightmare on Elm Streets Wes Craven. A hotel manager is threatened with the death of her father if she does not agree to assist in a plot to assinate one of the weathly guests of the hotel.
This movie has all of the undertones of a classic thriller, relying on suspense rather than gore to keep the viewer captive. The plane scenes were far fetched at best, being post 9/11, it would be impossible for all of the commotion on the plane to happen without someone panicing and calling in the federal marshalls. The time spent off of the plane is much more intense and believable, and for once it appears that the damsel in distress actually has a brain. I did appreciate the lack of predicability in the film. It's a good one for video night, when you've watched all of the other new releases first. I give it ***.
