this mid-air thriller sees the director not so much soaring to the heavens as merely coasting along on auto-pilot.

For Wes Craven, who I like a lot as a slasher director, he really goes into a different direction with this.

The psychological mind-games are played to the hilt, the pressurised cabin air increases the edge-of-the-seat tension and the 85-minute flight time is gratifyingly short.

While not particularly original, Red Eye is immensely entertaining and a fine example of the classic suspense-thriller.

I'm not claiming masterpiece stature for Red Eye, just a solid professionalism in the acting, writing and direction that seems inextricably related to the modesty of its intentions.

Works extremely well as a fast-paced adrenaline rush, but not so well as an allegory on today's government and security issues.

It took forever, but the best thriller of summer 2005 has finally arrived. The gripping, seat- clutching suspense in this baby will pin you to your seat.

Quick but satisfying.

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.

Hitchcock, of course, got lots of mileage out of just such absurd plots. But Wes Craven, whatever other strengths he has, isn't Hitchcock.

The movie gains an effective footing by, basically, thoroughly exploiting one's fear of being blackmailed into something dangerous.

If constructing a thriller could be likened to building a house, then Wes Craven's 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.
