Tonight’s date included the 6:30 showing of Wes Craven’s “Red Eye” (PG-13).
I would say that “Red Eye” was an entertaining movie. Definitely a “grab your neighbor’s arm” movie. I actually did find myself clenching onto Jess’ arm during one part of the movie – she let me know quite gently that I was causing her to lose feeling in that arm.
The main scene is inside of an airplane, and more-so in a two-seat section of the plane. Surprisingly, this worked! I thought for sure that it would get boring watching the same two people converse about how one was going to hurt the other – all while sitting comfortably in “coach”. Nope – not boring.
The acting was above-average and the stunts – very realistic, except (SPOILER) for the high-heal kick which actually found the high-heal STUCK in the man’s leg. I’m just not sure that could ever really happen!
All in all it was an enjoyable movie – and once again, as is our new habit, we waited till the last credit before leaving our seats.
Definitely some bad language in the movie, though I’m not sure exactly how much. Obviously there is violence as well, but surprisingly not as much as I had thought there would be.
Warning: do NOT watch this movie if you have heart trouble or if you need to use the bathroom very badly.
