Red Eye

Not the same star power as Hijack but I enjoyed it at least as much. The show is significantly different to the film so don't worry about repetition.

Its pacey although it often involves the main characters running in circles avoiding the most obvious conclusions and decisions.

The lead actress is mostly likable except for some unnecessary jibes at the beginning however that helps the character move from icy and rude to someone we can cheer for by the end. I'm more familiar with Richard Armitage and felt his character was a bit too 'conservative stiff'.

Yes there are some OTT moments but nothing absurd and overall a reasonable wet weekend binge :)

A lot of reviews here keep saying so many aspects of this show are far fetched. Frankly the only thing unbelievable here is Jess Li's bangs :)

Jokes aside, it has a nice combo of action, politics, drama and thrills despite the various plot holes. If you watch it with the sole goal of being entertained, you won't be disappointed.

Giving this a 7/10 because the finale felt a bit rushed trying to close too many loose ends without providing enough closure in some instances (hospital scene for example). Doesn't seem like its second season material but certainly not the last red eye I'm going to experience.

Yes, it's mind-numbingly dumb. Yes, it's more cliche than a leprechaun's pint of Guinness. Yes, it's got more holes than a pair of socks from the 1970s, but if you're looking to veg out with a few beers and a slice of pizza (or two) after a hard week of grafting, it does the job very well.

If you're looking for something deep and meaningful, thought-provoking, or intellectually challenging, give this a miss. If you're after a bit of fluff with twists, turns, and hooks that your pet Labrador would be able to comprehend, dive in!

Disengage your brain, put your feet up, tuck in, and relax. Fast-food drama when you can't be arsed to think beyond the opening credits-just what I needed!

The tranche of reviews so far are far too critical and some don't seem to have even taken the time to watch it to the end.

This production is great. The cast is great. The acting is great and the pacing is great. There are very few superfluous subplots which is terrific.

Yes, it requires significant suspension of disbelief and procedurally this isn't how the real world really works but it's good pulpy fun and the story is about its characters.

Much preferred this take of 'hijinks on a plane' than last year's 'Hijack' which died a death halfway through and didn't deserve a second season (in my opinion).

Giving it an 8 instead of a 7 to offset its review bombing by those easily triggered or absurdly critical. Remember it's a only piece of fiction, not a political statement. Enjoyable from start to finish in my book!

A lot of people who review this find it boring , absurd. A lot of people give 5 stars to marvel, superheroes- to me it is real cinema , not far fetched, I am not influenced by tick tok , social media. . So vey watchable. The flow is great, brutal action , good deciet, suspense. Not the best for Richard Armitage, great actor- other actor's a bit ordinary If people could only understand British Drama, layers of deceit, a plot vs superheroes with senseless bang bang. Don't get swayed by just reviews, try and find out the age of the reviewer , we will know what to watch. Influencers, ha ha, bad review on imdb, usually good to watch.
