This is directed by Wes Craven, but it is more properly a thriller rather than a horror movie. Still fun, though.Lisa (Rachel McAdams) is a manager at an upscale Miami hotel. She is calm, poised, and unflappable, even with the most irate guest; traits that serve her well dealing with a delayed red eye from Texas. They are also very useful when her seat mate (Cillian Murphy) announces that he is planning to assassinate the Director of Homeland Security (Jack Scalia) and if Lisa doesn't help him, he will kill her dad (Brian Cox). Lisa has until the plane lands to foil his plans.
No tricks, no twists, just straightforward Good Guy vs Bad Guy at 35,000 feet. McAdams and Murphy always understand the assignment, the script is juuuuust plausible enough for suspension of disbelief, and there's not a single wasted shot. You love to see it. Unfortunately, you can't see it on streaming but you can get it on disc from Netflix. (It might be on Plex?)
