"Redeye" demonstrates that Wes Craven can make a good film without leaving a trail of bodies. We saw this film over the weekend, and I really liked it. There's a fair amount of improbability in the plot - as you watch it, just consider how few options the bad guy really has with the position he's put himself in. Still - the pacing is really good, and you don't think about that as the plot unfolds. Most of the movie is a huge tension building exercise, and I thought it worked.

Rachel McAdams did a great job as the lead - her fear was palpable. Cillian Murphy was nearly perfect as the villain - he had the perfect blend of affable evil down pat. Recommended.
