Very Cool!!!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I spent a lot of time laughing at this film, which was supposed to be scary.

I caught this film late one night on terrestrial TV and it wasn't actually that bad, it kept me entertained at least and I was curious how it would pan out - even if the stars of the film were ignoring my drunken shouted recommendations for a better escape/resolution ;)A resourceful hotel coordinator (I think that was her job??) played by Rachel McAdams is taking a red-eye (all night) flight, before boarding the flight she meets a young charming man (Cillian Murphy) who seems to be interesting enough to talk to, less annoying than the other passengers at least. To me, it seemed like the man was a bit creepy stalker weirdo (which Cillian Murphy plays really well FTR) but but despite lots of strange coincidences between them, this doesn't alarm McAdam's character, Lisa. As the voyeur it's my job to get more information from the situation for my journey, so of course McAdams shouldn't be clever enough to pick up on the threat and there is a threat. It's not until they are both stuck on the plane that the truth comes and the truth of the matter has far hitting consequences. A quaint and harmless little suspense movie which is date night friendly. Not an out and out original plot but Wes Craven delivers a Hitchcock-esque suspense filled with clichés that you can just sit back and leave you brain at the door for.

I typically do not enjoy watching intense action movies as they are always set in these unrealistic situations but this movie is an exception. Lisa is a hotel manager that has to return home to attend a funeral and on her return flight she is sitting next to a hired hand whose goal is to assassinate the head of Homeland Security.Lisa is not suspicious in the slightest because the two had such a great conversation at the bar right before the plane took off.As far as story goes, I thought it was really solid as all of the character's motives were clear and made sense to the overall plot. I didn't find any glaring clichés that would make you roll your eyes, but instead an edge of your seat movie that makes you wonder if everything is going to turn out okay. Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy were just great in this movie, plain and simple which was crucial in the films success as the story is centered around their constant interactions. There is not much more I can say about it Murphy was just so intimidating and sweet when he had to be.I highly recommend giving this film a try.

Our heroine (Rachel McAdams) is kidnapped whilst on a flight and forced to assist our baddie (Cillian Murphy) in his dastardly plot. Two decent lead performances are poorly served by an unbelievable story but somehow manage to make this thriller almost watchable.Wes Craven forsakes his usual genre but applies his thrill a minute approach to this psychological thriller. It works to some extent but an implausible story simply becomes more and more ludicrous. By the time we reach the finale we could almost be on Elm Street.Cillian Murphy does well initially, making his character suitably unnerving, but there's a limit as to how much he can do with his role. Rachel McAdams as feisty Lisa Reisert is vulnerable yet resourceful, and proves yet again that she is worth much better material than she's offered.Worth a watch if you really have nothing else worthwhile to do. Otherwise, give it a miss.
