My God! "Red Eye" is one hell of a thriller! Starring Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphey.. Both have superb acting, and the movie was damn exciting.. One of the best thrillers there is! Plot is roughly about how a terrorist (but not those wrapped under layers of cloth, but one in proper clothes; handsome too if not for the fact that he needs to be threatening and scary *haha*) threatens the female lead on board a plane to aid some other terrorists in bombing a government personnel's hotel room.. The female lead is a supervisor of the hotel, so that's why she would be useful to the terrorist.. Cillian Murphey is perfectly scary in this.. And Rachel McAdams is a great heroine here.. Not the ever victorious kind, I wldn't like that either because that wld be unreal.. But she shows that she's adequately terrified, esp in the beginning of her frightening ordeal.. Then she gets smarter and stronger as the movie progresses, and eventually defeats the male lead.. At the end of the movie, after the male lead's terrorist bombing plans are foiled by the female lead, he goes after her to kill her.. Then it's like he's the hunter, while she becomes the prey.. Yet, while the male lead is the one advancing forward on his chase to kill her, the female lead doesn't lose by hiding from him when appropriate.. I get the idea that the hunted is not necessarily at the losing end always.. This movie has a great soundtrack too.. So, WATCH IT LAH! ;P
