scream be wes craven last decent thriller . since then there have be nothing but an unbearable streak of hollywood trash barely good enough for a blockbuster night and include the disappointment of the scream sequel . perhaps the genius and the craftsmanship devote to the movie drain all the energy and creativity out of him and so that when it come time for supper and he have nothing to serve u but his own doo doo . finally and after who know how many bad movie later and he give u a delicious and ruthless and gripping and chill suspense thriller with red eye . rachel mcadams once again delivers an enjoyable performance a she play a hotel manager who have the unfortunate connection with an important political figure and regular at her hotel . then she meet jackson ripner ( cillian murphy and batman beyond ) at the airport and who she get to know a little better after a delayed flight and a bay breeze . what she doesn not know be he already know her . and he also know her father and who she will never see again if she fail to cooperate and meet jackson demand to use her connection to set up her hotel regular for assassination . youre probably think this be nothing but your everyday thriller complete with predictability and chase scene . although this be a good old fashion thriller and that the beauty of it . no special effect . no cheap make up . just classic suspense . you feel the desperation and regret with every decision mcadams be force to make and you actually care for her a you cheer her on every move she make to find an escape from her claustrophobic position . a always she deliver an entertaining and convincing performance . it either her sweet face or her uncanny ability to sincerely cry and but you always seem to sympathize with her if her role demand it . cillian murphy on the other hand be naturally creepy look and so even if the trailer do not reveal it and his ultimate transition from charm stranger to merciless jackass isn not so surprising . perhaps it would have be more trippy to see a nice guy persona like toby maguire transform into evil relentless madman . nevertheless and cillian murphy and after his true identity be establish and play the role so solidly you would really want him to die and or at least get his as kick . don not overlook this feature . there be plenty of chalkboard screech moment and heart jumper that will keep your eye on the screen instead of your watch like you would at craven recent picture . if not for the you and do it for all the time you will see your girlfriend and or boyfriend and or someone with popcorn jump and cling on to you . wes finally get it right . aside from his trademark mastery in suspense and red eye be not without it humor a mcadams replacement cynthia at the front desk fumble to keep the hotel in order . it be a relief that red eye wasn not a disappointment . instead you will get the pleasure of see mcadams deliver another incredibly talented performance and murphy look creepier by the minute and and craven craft a classic traditional thriller . a flight that be delay and would have be the beginning of craven renaissance have it arrive right after scream .
