Red Eye is a very good thriller with good acting and a fast pace that keeps the tension going. A hotel manager is flying back to Miami from Texas after her grandmother's funeral. While at the airport, she meets a strange man who she flirts with. When she gets on the plane, she discovers they are sitting next to each other. However, his real plot and intentions become apparent. He needs her help to assassinate the Director of Homeland Security. If she fails to cooperate, her father will be killed. Since the Director is going to be staying at the hotel where she works, he wants her to set the Director up for slaughter. As she tries to get word for help, there are many tense scenes, especially on the airplane flying to Miami. The only problem with the movie is the actual assassination attempt itself, which strains credibility a bit and should have been caught by the authorities. I am willing to forgive the movie for this minor grip because it is well made and it doesn't overstay its welcome.
