Red Eye | Ratings & Reviews

"After a summer of... endless chase scenes and special effects that belittle the actors standing in front of them, what a pleasure to see characters in a thriller doing what people like themselves possibly could do."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Just when you thought that Wes Craven was washed-up, back up he comes like one of the killers in his films, teeth bared and meat cleaver grasped firmly in hand."

Film ThreatFilm Threat

"Red-Eye is the work of a filmmaker in command of the full resources of the camera in telling a story visually and with economy."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Red Eye relies on hoodwinking an audience with its tension, so that the sheer illogic of the conspiracy plot can slip by without detection."

VarietyVariety

"This nifty, tense thriller directed by Wes Craven brings together a classic setup and a relevant-sounding if thoroughly undercooked story..."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Craven shows he still knows how to ratchet up the tension.."

StuffStuff

"The psychological mind-games are played to the hilt... and the 85-minute flight time is gratifyingly short."

Time OutTime Out

"If constructing a thriller could be likened to building a house... Red Eye is a perfect piece of architecture: It's clean-lined and soundly structured, without a foot of wasted space or any materials left unused."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"The movie turns into a complicated duel that depends on precise observation of physical detail and moment-by-moment continuity so closely calibrated that it's impossible to find a wasted shot or an exaggerated emotion."

The New YorkerThe New Yorker

"A classy thriller that scoots along at breakneck speed."

BBCBBC

"The gripping, seat- clutching suspense in this baby will pin you to your seat."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"An exciting detour from one of the most influential directors of horror films."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"(Craven finds) another new way to stoke our apprehensions of being caught vulnerable and helpless."

Seattle TimesSeattle Times

"Tightly focused and blessedly short at 85 minutes, it recalls not so much today's bloated, computer-crazed films, but tighter melodramas of the '50s."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"Red Eye doesn't just stick to the basics -- it reminds us why they still matter."
