Red Eye

Thrillers are one of my favorite movie genres. Lots of people don't like them because they may be too predictable, and to them I say: If you have time to think about what's going to come next, they you really aren't getting into the movie the way you should. I hate those kind of people, if you can't allow yourself to escape what's around you and delve into the world that the film makers have created, then you shouldn't be watching movies. With that off my chest, I think even those nay -sayers may have enjoyed this film. I think both Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy did excellent jobs in each of their roles. The aspect of this movie that I loved was we finally saw a strong female character fight back, and not fight back in a comply wussie manner (I especially liked the pen to the throat and the heel of her shoe in his thigh). The ending was a little lack luster, yet it seemed a bit more realistic that many theatrical endings. And props to Colby Donaldson formerly of Survivor fame, to his first significant role on the big screen, nicely done.
