Movie review:
- CinemaSerf: “Lisa” (Rachel McAdams) is chatting with her companions on a plane when things start to take a dangerous turn. It turns out that “Ripner” (Cillian Murphy) needs her to contact the hotel where she works so they can move an important visiting family into a new suite. One of his friends is ready to throw out her father, “Joe” (Brian Cox), if she doesn’t acquiesce to this perfectly reasonable request. For the first half hour, it’s a fairly effective thriller – the dynamic between the two, and her being trapped in an increasingly claustrophobic airline seat, helps create a pretty decent sense of danger. But sadly, the scene starts to lose its potency when she starts fighting back. His total control over the situation starts to feel more and more compromising, as serendipity becomes a little too much of an interest in the story for me. That’s not to say “Lisa” needs to back down when faced with her psychological oppressors, it’s just that this pushback feels a little forced before a rather messy and unsatisfying ending that you know is coming. Murphy can be a pretty edgy character actor – he’s a charismatic man with a hint of underworld (I think he would make a good “Bond” villain), while McAdams is confident And capable – it’s just that the originality of the story fades away and becomes mediocre.
