Featured Actress: Rachel McAdams - Lisa Reisert (Rachel McAdams) meets a seemingly charming man (Cillian Murphy) as she's about to board a plane, but once they are in the air she finds he's not the man he seems. He's been sent to force her to do something or her father, who's on the ground, will be murdered. Lisa has to find away to escape and race against the clock to save lives. A taut, action packed thriller from director Wes Craven, who's better known for his horror work. McAdams' star continues to rise with this performance, which should help throw her into Reese Witherspoon's orbit, though McAdams is a better actress. Murphy is also marvelously creepy as the hit man. And in a rarity from Hollywood these days, this movie is not too long. It clocks in at a speedy 83 minutes.
