Contrary to my earlier speculation, the movie, “Red Eye,” in theaters August 12, is quite good (review coming soon).
The plot–terrorists try to kill the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security–has at least one glaring inaccuracy: the DHS official stays weekly in a giant suite atop a beachside resort, complete with regular complimentary Cuban cigars and Krystal champagne.
