Red Eye Reviews: A Thousand Words

Honestly, the reason why I am writing this review is for this one aspect, a relatively throwaway scene in a wider movie that gets better only at the end. See, Eddie Murphy's agent character has a dorky white assistant. Now, as he wordlessly comes in to try and communicate something or other, said assistant suddenly breaks down and admits that he and a female coworker have been cavorting about in Eddie Murphy's office as animals. Seeing the scene as a furry, I am massively disappointed as having furry be this guy's weird thing, mostly because Hollywood had decided to misrepresent the fandom. Again.
Go see it if you want to; now that you can rent it for a buck twenty it sorta makes it worth it. In my opinion, the movie only really gets good at the end when Eddie Murphy finds his epiphany and uses his last few words to repair his crumbling life in an almost beatific way. Other than that and some scattered scenes that almost rescue the movie, it was mostly meh.
