Before Cillian Murphy blew us all away as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, he was already showing his knack for playing complex, captivating characters. I recently rediscovered Red Eye, a Wes Craven thriller from 2005 where he plays Jackson Rippner, a really charismatic but scary guy who basically forces a hotel manager, Lisa Reisert (played brilliantly by Rachel McAdams), to help him with a dangerous plan on a transatlantic flight. When it first came out, it was seen as a solid, fun thriller, but over the years, it’s really gained a following – it’s become one of those underappreciated cult favorites that I think more people should check out. It started streaming on Peacock on April 1st, so I revisited it recently and was reminded how good it is!
