Revealing mistake: When Lisa stabs Jackson in the throat with the pen, if you watch closely, you can see that she is still holding the pen when she pulls her arm back, but in the entire rest of the scene the pen is still stuck in his throat. If you watch it in slow motion, the mistake becomes even more obvious. (00:56:15)
Red Eye (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Wes Craven
Starring: Rachel McAdams, Brian Cox, Cillian Murphy, Laura Johnson
Genres: Thriller
Lisa stabs Jackson in the throat with a pen as the plane is landing and makes her escape. She steals his phone and an SUV and calls Cynthia to tell her to pull the fire alarm and get Charles Keefe and his family out of the room before something happens to them. Cynthia does what she said and they all make it. Then Lisa races home to see if her dad is okay. The killer isn't in his car and she looks up and sees him in front of her house. She runs him over with her car. Her dad comes out and they hug and talk and he said he called 911, then Jackson shows up and knocks her dad out and a chase through the house ensures with her throwing things at him and out smarting him several times. While he's chasing her 911 calls back and she tells them he's in the house. He jumps out from behind the door with a knife and they fight and he pushes her down the stairs. She sees the dead killers gun and gets it and fires at Jackson, which makes him drop his knife but then she losses the gun and he's after her again. Then her dad comes in and shoots him and kills him. The police are on their way and they're all okay. Everyone lives. The film ends on a light note with Lisa at the hotel telling off a rude couple and laughing with Cynthia.

Trivia: When in the plane's bathroom, in an early take Cillian Murphy threw Rachel McAdams so hard against the bathroom wall that he knocked her unconscious. If you look at the shot used in the movie where he throws her against the wall, you can see his hand in her hair protecting her head so he didn't hurt her again. Not a mistake, as he's not trying to knock her out in the film, just rough her up, but worth looking for.
Question: I don't understand parts of the scene where Lisa runs over the hit man. The hit man is just standing outside the door for some reason. After Lisa runs over him she runs inside the house and her father said he called the police already, why did he call them? The hit man was just standing outside waiting for the call, her father didn't know what was going on. Did he call the police because she drove into his house, even though there had only been a few seconds in between scenes?

Answer: Yes he called because she hit the guy and ran into his house. When 911 calls back they say that they had a call about somone being hit in front of the house and asks if they still need the police.
