Wes Craven's Red Eye (the title refers to late-night airline flights), could turn out to be "the summer's killer thriller," writes Jan Stuart in Newsday. Several other critics agree. No one, however, is awarding it four stars. As Stephen Hunter observes in the Washington Post, the movie is not great, and maybe only "sort of good." But it is, he says, "nifty." Lou Lumenick in the New York Post puts it this way: "In a summer when so many overhyped, overlong and sloppily directed movies have disappointed, Wes Craven's unpretentious, lightning-paced B-movie Red Eye offers far more nail-biting thrills than we've come to expect during Hollywood's dog days." Several critics note that the film marks a departure for Craven. Bob Townsend in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution remarks that while the director may be best known for slasher films like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, "he shows that subtler suspense can be shaped from some of those same menacing elements, even if the pace is a little slower and the scares much more real." |
