Wow.

I watched this movie last night. It was actually good. Very stressful, but good.

Anyone else seen this movie? What do you have to say about it?

PluggedIn gave it a pretty bad review, but I really liked it. I hate to say it, but sometimes, they're a little harsh. Maybe I'm desensitized, though.

Let's see if I can explain it without giving anything away...
Basically, a woman is taking the red eye flight from dallas (I think it was dallas) to miami. While on the plane she gets stuck sitting next to a sort of shifty man. She later finds out he's a murderer.

Uhm... I feel like that's all that I can tell you without giving it away. Maybe IMDB would do a better job.

It was one of those clean layyed-back and realxing thrillers. A movie that you shouldn't be expecting to be good or bad, but just to be slightly entertained.

Honestly, it was an alright movie. I saw it for the 2nd time, and it's not as good as the first. I mean, there isn't relaly that big of a complex thriller. The supporting actors are really bad, but Rachel McAdams does well.

I saw it about two months ago at the local dollar theater, and wasn't especially impressed, or dissappointed... I guess I wasn't expecting much.

I thought that Cillian Murphy was perfect for the role. After Batman and now this, I won't ever be able to think of him as anything but a psychotic killer...

I can't say that I really enjoyed the movie. I think it could have done well with a more involved plot, a couple more twists, and a more enveloping score. They also could have cut back a bit on language (though I guess that's always true... I don't remember language being especially bad. It certainly wasn't good though.) I don't think I would recommend this film to anybody, but I'm not sorry I watched it. It was okay, there's just much better fare out there.

I'm still working on seeing it.
