The Master of Suck is back.
Wes Craven's latest crappy film is Red Eye which is basically Scream meets
Executive Decision. Passenger 57 may not be
out of the question although I can see Charles Rane blowing raspberries at the sight of Cillian Murphy.
Instead of Neve Campbell, it's Rachel McAdams. There are not two but one villain teenager. The story takes place on an airplane
instead of house. At the same time, everything has to look fresh and hip. Did I tell you already that Wes was the Master of
Suck? Maybe he should be called the Master of Recycled Shit. I was actually okay with the movie for forty-five minutes,
and then, it went for a nosedive when Cillian Murphy started to suck hard.
If it's about a bunch of terrorists trying to assassinate a politician nobody, they'll use somebody else who's hell a
lot more professional than the wimpy killer. By the way, why does the assassination plot have to take place at the airport and
then on the airplane? Won't it be easier to kill him at his home? Again, what do I care if the politician lives or dies? He's
just another useless scumbag. Although the bad guy followed Lisa for eight weeks, he could've kidnapped her after the funeral
but right before she headed out to the airport. The headache would be avoided by making a simple call to the hotel and
then killing her afterwards.
All in all, I want to give Wes Craven a black eye for making Red Eye.
