2005 * PG-13 * 1h 25m I know this isn't a new film, but for some reason I never saw it when it came out. Ya just can't see everything, can ya? But it popped up on Netflix recently and I put it in my queue, because hey, who doesn't like a good thriller? And this one had me on the edge of my seat, right until the end. Wow!
Lisa (Rachel McAdams) is a hotel manager, forced to take a red eye flight home back to Miami. At the airport, she runs into Jackson (Cillian Murphy)and the two strike up a conversation. They bump into each other several times and it just so happens, they're sitting next to each other on the plane. What are the odds, eh? Right from the start, you get creepy vibes from Jackson. There's just something about him.
Well, my inner creep-o-meter paid off. It turns out, Jackson is part of a plot to kill the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. Lisa is forced to call the hotel and make arrangements for the Secretary and his family to be transferred to a new suite or her father will be killed. Not one to give in easily, she makes several bold attempts to thwart the assassination attempt. Each nerve-racking attempt is foiled and it all makes for one intense, exciting movie. I haven't seen a film that was this thrilling in quite a while. If you like nail-biting thrillers, don't miss this one!
