Red Eye

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!

Well, what can I say? I indulged in a marathon session, watching all six episodes back-to-back, and I was utterly captivated from start to finish. This fast-paced action thriller delivers an intriguing plot that keeps you hooked throughout. The storyline moves swiftly, filled with riveting moments that leave you eager for more. The cast is exceptional, each actor bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. As the series unfolds, you find yourself becoming increasingly fond of the characters, invested in their journeys, and eagerly anticipating what will happen next.

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Peter A. Dowling and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

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!

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 :)

There are a lot of negative reviews on here stating that the whole thing was ridiculous. Perhaps they should watch a documentary or something. Myself and the Mrs watched the whole thing in less than 24 hours and, to be honest, it was a damn sight more believable than a James Bond film or any of that superhero nonsense that they keep churing out nowadays. The acting was decent, the storys was well-written even if it did push some accuracy limits ehre and there. The pace was the best thing. Never a dull moment, which is what I want after a hard day at work. If they showed police and spy thrillers that reflected real life, I suspect they wouldn't pick up many viewers. This was entertaining and fun, which is what I was looking for.
