I see this movie has been getting QUITE the buzz - especially around here.
It is hard to describe this movie other than as a pointless thriller with a dominant female.
The acting is alright but it just seems to climax and end so fast. I know, sounds like something else.
I mean most of the movie is exposition. And as our good friends over at Urinetown have said, "nothing can kill a show like too much exposition."
I will say it was exciteing throughout. Not a dull moment. Causes a great adrenilie rush. Other than that, it was rather pointless.
Fun, but awkward.
Any other questions? Leave 'em!

Posted: 8/21/05 at 2:38amSo its an action movie and not a scary? I've gotten the vibe of it being both of those, from a few things I've read/heard.

It's more of a thriller.
Nice and twisty in the first hour or so.

Ok....I know I'm going to see it, but I'm wondering if I'll actually like it or not. Thanks!

Posted: 8/21/05 at 6:08pmJust came back from Red Eye. Excellent. It's a nice tight thriller. Nothing out of this world but all the elements came together. The "target" was a little cheesy(actually the wife too) but all in all a very good afternoon and worth the $9.75.

Posted: 8/21/05 at 6:21pmI thought it was decent. Not the best thriller ever, but certainly a worthy summer night diversion. I also thought it was interesting that (POSSIBLE MINI-SPOILER)she had no love interest in the movie. I actually kind of appreciated that. I liked that it was just about her and there was no man-drama to drag her down.

Kringas - she's a strong, dominant woman with a scar on her breast.

Aren't we all? I was just glad there wasn't a romantic sub-plot.

I agree.
I especially liked the old Jewish Woman, fan of Dr. Phil.
"Lose something?"
"Yes, my book! I can't find my book!"
And in the credits, it said, "nice lady"

Posted: 8/21/05 at 6:27pmI noticed "Nice Lady" in the credits, too. That made me chuckle.

Heh, the best part of the movie was on the plane...
But what is a red-eye? The plane was called FRESH AIR.
