I could not believe 20 years had passed since I last saw director Wes Craven’s Red Eye when I decided to give it a rewatch on Netflix. I was also happily surprised to find that the film, about a hotel manager coerced into helping achieve a political assassination by the menacing stranger seated next to her on a “red-eye flight,” holds up incredibly well, even if star Cillian Murphy disagrees.
