Took a chance and rented Red Eye. I was reluctant because it was directed by Wes Craven and I hate horror movies, but this one is strictly a suspense thriller. Surprisingly, the movie was very good. Good simple story, good acting, and decent sound. Worthy rental.

Oh, one more observation -- it wasn't too long (85 min.). That's a good thing.

    I thought it personally was rather boring. 5/10. Terribly predictible, good acting, true, but not the best plot. My wife really enjoyed it tho, it that says anything ;)

    Well, Cillian Murphy is a really good actor, and one hell of a creepy looking dude. If you remember 28 Days Later (my favorite Zombie flick), he was the main character in that movie, but a lot different looking.

    Rachel McAdams is just plain adorable, so those 2 things sold it for me. The movie was pretty good. Despite it's predictablity I think it maintained it's intensity and suspense.
