DVD review: Red Eye

10:26 AM CST on Tuesday, January 10, 2006

Red Eye

B

Starring Rachel McAdams, Cillian Murphy and Brian Cox. Directed by Wes Craven. PG-13 (violence, language). 85 mins. $29.99.

THE SETUP: Rachel McAdams stars as a woman on an overnight flight whose seatmate (Cillian Murphy) says her dad will be snuffed if she doesn't cooperate in arrangements to kill a U.S. leader at the hotel where she works.

BEST EXTRA: Highlighting the DVD extras is a profile on director Wes Craven, the horror maestro making a shift to straightforward thrillers. Mr. Craven also offers commentary, and the DVD has a behind-the-scenes featurette focusing on the movie's claustrophobic design to simulate airplane conditions.

BOTTOM LINE: Air travel just keeps getting worse, what with the long lines, extra security precautions, fees for the onboard meals and, of course, the nutty guy sitting next to you using threats of violence to coerce you into helping his assassination plot.
