Peaky Blinders fans can take a look back at Cillian Murphy ‘s pre-Tommy Shelby career with this ‘intense’ thriller from two decades ago. Red Eye tells the story of a hotel manager whose life is thrown into chaos when a mysterious stranger takes the seat next to her on her flight home. She soon realises that he poses a threat to her family as he insists she assist him in a plot to murder a Government official, or her father will be killed. But the question remains, how far is she prepared to go to safeguard her loved ones, or could there be an escape route? Red Eye will be available from Tuesday, September 16, on BBC iPlayer where fans can watch the film at no cost. While Red Eye may not boast the largest cast, it does feature some of the world’s most renowned stars. Leading the pack as the menacing stranger is Peaky Blinders’ Tommy Shelby icon, Cillian Murphy. Some of his other notable roles include Oppenheimer, Batman Begins, A Quiet Place Part II, Inception and 28 Years Later. He is joined by actress Rachel McAdams, known for her roles in The Notebook and Mean Girls, who plays the beleaguered hotel manager Lisa. Other key cast members include Succession legend Brian Cox as the father whom Murphy’s character threatens to kill, and Glee star Jayma Mays as Lisa’s friend and colleague. Fans of Red Eye have been flocking to Rotten Tomatoes to laud the thriller since its initial release in 2005. “Red Eye is immensely entertain ing and a fine example of the classic suspense-thriller”, one viewer commented. Someone else wrote: “When taking place at the airport and on a plane, “Red Eye” is pitch perfect. “The cloistered space and confined quarters ratchets up the suspense, often to uncomfortable (but welcomed) levels.” While a third described it as “a classy thriller that scoots along at breakneck speed.” Red Eye will be released on Tuesday, September 16, on BBC iPlayer.
