Works because of Cillian Murphy and his uber-creepy vibe. I agree it starts to go downhill once they leave the plane, but that tension on the flight - it more than makes up for the weaker ending. |

Craven made a slew of bad movies after Scream 3, but this was a slight return to form. He milks the suspense out of the situations and the film as a whole is good. Solid, entertaining thriller. |

Terror in the Air |
|
An airplane can be a very unpleasant place to be, especially if a terrorist hell bent on assassinating a government official is sitting next to you. This form of sheer terror is what hotel manager Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) has to deal with when she is flying to Miami after attending her grandmother's funeral in Texas. Seated next to her is Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy) a terrorist for hire who wants Lisa to move one of her hotel's VIPs (the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security) to another room so that he can be assassinated. If Lisa does not comply with Rippner's demands, he will dispatch a hitman to kill her father (Brian Cox). Further complicating the matter is that the deputy secretary's family will also be staying at the hotel and they will all be killed if the attack succ... |

There's Not A Bomb |
|
This movie was brilliant, though not Wes Craven's best. What I love so much about Wes Craven's style and abilities is that he takes the norms and turns them into something terrifying or new or interesting. In "Scream" he took scary movies and made it the object of its own terror. In "Red Eye" he took one of the most terrifying situations and turns it into an even more terrifying situation. A political assassin takes a young girl and forces her to move the room of a politician in order to assassinate him from the ocean that the hotel the girl runs faces. However, if she doesn't, her father will be killed in the politician's place. Rachel MacAdams and Cillian Murphy are a great duo [isn't he just creepy?] and this movie scored high on my list of radtastic movies. |

Quite suspensful, but kinda short |
|
Hotel worker, "Lisa" (Rachel McAdams) hates flying, but that fear is nothing like the one she is about to experience.
While in line waiting to check in at the "Fresh Air" (what a dumb name huh?) desk, she meets "Jackson" (Cillian Murphy). They bump into each other a little later on at the airport bar, and have a flirtatious conversation. They bump into each other yet again on the plane, where they have neighboring seats. But that is where the nice story ends.
He informs her that she must do a task for him, or her father (Brian Cox) will be killed by one of his men waiting for the order to shoot just outside his home. To complicate things, her decision on doing the task will also determine if a high-profile guest (Jack Scalia) who will be checking in at the hotel she works at in Mi... |
