Red Eye
Wes Craven brings us a story of a seemingly circumstantial encounter between two beautiful people, both dedicated to their jobs (perhaps to a fault). Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy look more like brother and sister in this movie, what with the blue eyes and dark hair.
Of course, it wasn't circumstantial, but planned very carefully, as most Wes Craven films tend to be. McAdams's character, Lisa, has been hurt before and that, combined with the love of her father, gives her the motivation to go to any lengths to thwart Jack's (Murphy's) plan to assasinate a political figure. If she doesn't cooperate, as I'm sure anyone who has seen the previews can figure out, her father will be killed.
The movie was not bad, keeping the audience interested, but it wasn't anything earth shattering either. It was another Craven movie and he rarely disappoints. Red Eye is no exception. It was a pretty good movie.
One I would rent, but I can't say that I would rush right out to see it at the theater.

You *know* I saw this. Not because I thought it'd be some amazing film. But....Cillian Murphy. Oh, yes. The leads do look similar, and if anything Murphy's delicate features make him look even prettier than McAdams.
Too bad we didn't get any of his booty shots like we did in 28 Days Later. *is sad*
