They put Rachel McAdams on a plane again — but this time, she’s got the tools to fend for herself.
In Send Help — Sam Raimi’s long-awaited return to all-out horror-comedy — the Red Eye alum is playing delightfully against type. Rather than a flustered final girl, McAdams is Linda Liddle, the resident “workhorse” at a Fortune 500 company and a Survivor obsessive. By day, she takes on much more work than she has to, sacrificing her lunch breaks to chow on tuna fish sandwiches from the confines of her cubicle. By night, she goes home to her bird, pores over survival manuals, and dreams of the promotion coming her way. It was, after all, promised to her by the former president of Preston — but with his passing comes a new boss, the smarmy nepo baby Bradley (Dylan O’Brien), whose first order of business is replacing Linda with his far-less-competent frat buddy (Xavier Samuel).
