Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
The film Eagle Eye advertised itself as an action/adventure film with an aspect of government intrigue ("Big Brother is watching"). While the film definitely delivers in the action department, there really isn't much else to it.The basic plot of the film centers on two ordinary people who are suddenly "activated" as terrorists and must flee for there lives while only taking messages from all the electronic devices around them (cell phones, billboards, streaming text lines, LED signs, etc.). As they continue to flee, they eventually figure out what is happening to them and begin hatching a plan to stop it.The reason why this movie fails, though, is that is doesn't focuses on the dramatic elements that are actually interesting. Without giving any spoilers, the film would have been much better served focusing on two areas: 1. The technology behind why the two U.S. citizens are "activated" in the first place; and 2. The relationship between the two lead characters played by Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan.Instead, however, this film is little more than one pulse-pounding action sequence after another with just enough (but much too little) exposition to move the plot forward to the next crazy chase scene. Plus, the focus of the film seemed to be on the fact that the two citizens can be communicated with or found by any electronic device. However, it covered much of the same territory that Will Smith and Gene Hackman did in Enemy of the State a decade ago. There wasn't enough new material to really hook me into this plot thread.Thus, if you a huge fan of non-stop action in films, you will love this film. If you need some character and plot development to keep your interest, though, then skip this movie, as you will just be disappointed.
Eagle eye is a movie that was released on September 26 2008 with a six out of ten star review. If you like action, mystery and thriller you should watch this movie. Jerry Shaw(Shia labeouf) is the main character for eagle eye. A little about this movie is that Jerry Shaw has a twin brother that die. the brother was the smart one and Jerry Shaw was a thief. he has a credit and goes to a ATM and deposit money. when he does that thousands of dollars comes out. He goes back to his apartment and has military equipment and doesn't know how it got there. He gets arrested and he escapes and helps this women find her kid by force. He goes on a quest to destroy this thing called the eagle eye. if you like this review you should watch this movie.
Not a bad film if you have a couple of hours to kill. It moves at a good pace and the acting is very good. However as others have said there are just too many holes in the plot to make it believable. 1. A super computer that seems to instantly overcome any security system anywhere, including airports, the Police, utility companies and the FBI would not need a human to overcome a security protocol. 2. Identical twins do not share bio-metrics or voice patterns. 3. Since the exploding crystal and trigger were going to get to where the president was, what was the need to the twins bio-metrics anyway? 4. A Super computer would have worked out it's own mistake in seeing the president and his staff as a threat to national security.Apart from that I enjoyed it! :)
A super computer that can control every electrical device on the planet, needs the help of two reluctant, untrained and unreliable civilians to carry out it's plan. That should tell you just how stupid this movie is going to be. Of course it's a male and female who are Strangers to each other, so you have to wait and wonder will they or won't they get romantically involved. It takes quite a while to find out what it is the supercomputer has planned, but from then on, it's rather predictable, as two ordinary people manage to become and do what highly trained military personnel can't. Of course the computer has the same shortcomings of many people and politicians, who believe that the end justifies the means, despite the fact that this whole drama (plot) started because the computer disagreed with an executive decision of the president. Lots of gratuitous car chases and crashes(for those who like that sort of thing). Lots of intrigue and suspense, before it becomes obvious a computer is calling the shots. Lots of outlandish and highly improbable scenes and stunts. Take it for what it is, far fetched action packed Hollywood fantasy.
