The “cell phone thriller” is becoming a genre unto itself, and Eagle Eye should be considered a key example of the form. Frankly preposterous but compulsively watchable, this movie puts Shia LaBeouf in a mess of trouble instigated by a mysterious telephone voice. If he doesn’t follow orders, dire things will happen–although when he does follow orders, the consequences are pretty dire, anyway. Also being blackmailed is a single mom (Michelle Monaghan) receiving similar phone calls. Why are they being jerked around by the purring female voice, and why is the road leading to Washington, D.C.? Actually, you won’t have time to contemplate these questions, because director D.J. Caruso (who guided LaBeouf in Disturbia) keeps the action going at the customary breakneck pace. This is a wise move, because the real questions you’d likely be asking have to do with the plausibility of events on a minute-by-minute basis (most notably: how could Mysterious Phone Voice possibly know that the two pigeons would survive the hoops she makes them fly through, each one more death-defying than the last?). The actors tumble through this mayhem like scattering bowling pins, including Billy Bob Thornton and Rosario Dawson as government agents. Nobody has time to make much of an impression, and LaBeouf has much less room for puppydog charm than he did in Disturbia. Even that would be all right within the movie’s berserk parameters, but the really irritating thing is the way the tacked-on final scenes reverse what would have been a heroic climax. No guts, no glory. –Robert Horton

- A weak knockoff of “The Fugitive”
The danger of data mining is that unscrupulous people (and not computers) will use the information for their own illegal/unconstitutional purposes. The makers of “Eagle Eye” apparently decided to give the Bush Administration a pass and blamed it on a computer instead. “Eagle Eye” is a watered down message movie that lacks the courage of its convictions. When I realized the bad guy was a computer, I lost all interest in the movie.

- Computer #itch.
Eagle Eye just couldn’t hold my interest. Michelle Monaghan is pretty good in this but Shia LaBeouf doesn’t do it for me, not sure why he so popular, his acting isn’t that spectacular. The plot is laughable but the special effects are kinda cool. Eagle Eye left me disappointed, oh well.

- WarGames meets The Man Who Knew Too Much
I think this movie was the most underrated of the year. This movie interestingly blends elements from John Badham’s WarGames and Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much with today’s technological,political,and social realities. Could it have been better?Yes. Director D.J. Caruso may have sacrificed some of the movies dramatic potential to thriller and action formulas. But I still think the end result was very good. I found the scenes between Jerry and Rachel on the bus and in the freighter … Read More
Rating: - An Exciting Thrill Ride
This movie draws you in right from the start and doesn’t let you go. I found myself wondering who or what could be behind the mysterious goings on and was only a little surprised when I found out the answer. The clues had led me to the correct conclusion but that didn’t take away any of the fun that was yet to come.
The acting was excellent and the dialog was intelligent. There were a few things that stretched the limits of what is possible (at least in the world we actually live in … Read More
