I hope Rachel and Cillian will work together again. I always thought their on-screen chemistry was great

I can't believe it will be 10 years next year since Red Eye was released.

Digital Spy UK included Red Eye in their 'Our favourite Netflix hidden gems' list:

Red Eye
We've been secretly in love with Rachel McAdams since we first saw her walk the halls in Mean Girls. Red Eye is a bit of a departure for her, as a high-concept thriller about a hotel manager who finds herself trapped on a plane with Cillian Murphy's ambitious terrorist.

It may sound a strange mix, but that's a part of why we love it. The leads are great, with Murphy at his oh-so-sinister best. It's a modern B-movie classic.

Rachel's knives skills in the True Detective trailer actually reminded me of pen stabbing skills in Red Eye

I totally thought the same thing, Lindsey.

I guess Rachel fans think alike

Indiewire included Rachel's performance in Red Eye as one of their top 5 best performances by Rachel:

Quote:

"Red Eye" (2005)
A perfectly formed little B-movie thriller that's elevated by superior direction from horror maestro Wes Craven, "Red Eye" also boasts a great pair of central performances from McAdams and Cillian Murphy. The actress, probably most associated with love stories, has summoned up romantic chemistry with a variety of actors in her day, most famously Ryan Gosling, but also Channing Tatum ("The Vow"), Owen Wilson ("Wedding Crashers"), Michael Pena ("The Lucky Ones") and so on, but that talent for creating an onscreen relationship that's more than the sum of its two parts, displays itself in other situations too. Like here, in a thriller setup where an initial frisson of attraction to Cillian Murphy's psycho Jackson runs through several shades of fear, anger, resolve, and eventually rebellion and counteraction. The film is therefore at its most effective when it keeps the two in close proximity: it's a story told in faces and eyes, his and hers, and is as much a demonstration of chemistry as any clinch in the rain. And again, there's something about McAdams' relatability that grounds this airborne thriller (no mean feat considering part of the plot is an assassination attempt which will be carried out by means of a rocket launched from a docked boat into a hotel suite). But of course, that's not really the hook, which trades far more on the simple fact that we have all at one time or another sat next to a weirdo on a flight, and everyone who's ever been in that situation is suddenly aware of how very trapped you are, in a pressurized tube thousands of feet in the air. What McAdams' presence here shows is just how much better schlocky, high-concept material can be made if its actors commit to it as if it were Ibsen, and her performance makes it all the more scary because as ridiculous as the plot may get, we believe her reactions and emotions, can therefore all the more easily imagine ourselves in her unenviable position.

Can't believe it's almost 10 years ago since the theatrical release of Red Eye. It was released in the USA on August 19, 2005 according to IMDB.

I remember this release because it was on my mom's birthday! Siiiigh, the good old days.
