Red Eye (2005): ****

Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) is flying back to her hotel manager job in Miami, after attending her grandmother’s funeral in Texas. Whilst waiting for her delayed flight, she meets the charming Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy). Lisa and Jackson hit it off right away, killing time by discussing unfortunate names and drinking cocktails. Later, they discover they are sitting together on the same flight and it seems it may be the start of a beautiful relationship. What a pity it turns out Jackson is a terrorist operative, who needs Lisa in order for his group to carry out a high profile political assassination. If she refuses, it will be Lisa who suffers instead.
