Have any of you guys watched the movie "RED EYE" ?

I just rented it out this weekend and had a watch, and I have to say its a fantastic thriller.

The plot follows a female hotel manager on a flight from Texus to Florida, who is kidnapped by a stranger, who threatens to kill her father if she dosn't follow her commands to phone her staff at her hotel in Miami and move a VIP guest from his usual suite to a room with a sea-view. The reason for this is so that the kidnapper can get his henchmen on Miami beach to kill the VIP with a missle shot from a boat moored close by.

Half the movie takes place on a 767, another 1/4 in airport terminals and the last 1/4 is non-stop action with gun battles and car chases 😎

I reccomend you all watch it for the fantastic suspense, and all the aviation references.

You may have noticed I have changed my signiture too, which is a screenshot I took from the movie lol.

Yer, thanks for the info on Flightplan GM. I had a 2-for-1 voucher at the video store and had to decide between Flightplan and Redeye, with the thriller looking more exciting.

If you have it on DVD, be sure to watch the making of the movie. Theres an interesting segment about how they made the fake 767 cabin and used airbags and hydrolics to create the turbulance effects!
