Movie Review: Redeye

Disclaimer: My fiance really really really enjoyed this movie, so take with a generous dosage of salt -- I have a tendency to disect movies that I watch as I watch them...


I thought the movie was completely transparent. It wasnt scary, wasnt even creepy (maybe odd during certain scenes but definately not venturing into the territory of the word creepy). There are very few times in the movie where you arent about 10 steps ahead of the watered down plot, barring a couple of surprises (which are suprising only because you've gotten so bored with the singlemindedness of the characters that you've come to expect manotony (think hostage meets air force one meets gataga, with stale popcorn)) the movie didnt even rate needing a strong attention span. The last 5 or 10 minutes of the movie were worthwhile, I even got into the stuggles that took place, but that small percentage of the movie didnt make having to sit through the first 95% worthwhile. All in all, the watching the previews was much better than watching the movie. Sorry, if you're looking for an intense movie go elsewhere.

Oh well
