Red Eye (2005)

Upon boarding the plane, Lisa is pleasantly surprised to find that she is seated next to Jackson (Cillian Murphy), the seemingly charming man with whom she had shared a drink—and perhaps even a brief flirtation—in the airport terminal. But moments after takeoff, Jackson drops his façade and menacingly reveals the real reason he’s on board: He is an operative in a plot to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security…and Lisa is the key to its success. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.

Trapped within the confines of a jet at 30,000 feet, Lisa has nowhere to run and no way to summon help without endangering her father, her fellow passengers and her own life. As the miles tick by, Lisa knows she is running out of time as she desperately looks for a way to thwart her ruthless captor and stop a terrible

...Nevertheless, there are enough thrills during the final third to give Red Eye viewers a few of Craven's patented jolts near the end. But it requires forbearance for both a silly script and uneven pacing to get to that point. 

For a movie getting unceremoniously released during the dog days of the summer movie season, “Red Eye” deserves a look. At the very least, it should freak enough people out that you won’t have to deal with mind-numbing small talk on your next flight.

Wes Craven again shows us why he is a master thrill maker and I think it’s inspiring to see someone who has such a large body of work behind him, not rest on his laurels for a single moment.

Locked in a surreal confluence of the menacing and the mundane, Lisa and Jackson scare us to hell so that earth feels safer. B+

With Red-Eye, director Wes Craven turns in a tightly wound roller-coaster ride. Intellectually, you know it's improbable, but you can't help but raise your hands when the big drop comes.

Rippner is a delicious sociopath. Murphy portrayed a similar role in “Batman Begins,” with similar effects. He has such a little boy face that he is a terrific bad guy. For my money, this is one of the most entertaining films of the year. 9/10

Red Eye is far from perfection but in a year absent of any real suspense it is the closest thing to fear inducing we have up to this point so if a thrill is what you are out for, Red Eye may be your solution. B-

Like Lisa, the film is desperately kinetic. And both succeed to a considerable degree...All the while, the tension level throughout "Red Eye" remains sky-high.  --Jeff Farance ...Red-Eye is a suspense thriller that relies on psychology more than shock value and entertains its audience throughout its short running frame. Campy and self-aware, Red-Eye is packaged on two strong performances from its leads and a premise that does not spit blood or ensure a magical ending...  --Andy Hoglund Lets face it no one screams at horror no more and no one pukes, we all just love to see the director give us all a little something to take away and sadly Wes Craven didn't seem to want to give us anything in his new 2005 movie Red Eye.  -- (terrorwatch.net)
