Movie review of Eagle Eye

Posted in Reviewson Oct 16, 2008

If there is a level of “over the top,” then Eagle Eye begs for this level to be well defined. 

Eagle Eye is an action file directed by D.J. Caruso. It features a young man and a single mother who are brought together and coerced by an anonymous caller into carrying out a terrorist cell’s plot. 

As an action film, Eagle Eye was pretty typical, yet fairly exciting.  You get your standard explosions, exchange of gun fire, high speed car chases, and suspense.  However, there were a few too many, “yeah, right” moments becaues of too many far fetched ideas in the story fundamentals.

While not a “movie of the year,” Eagle Eye was more enjoyable than watching cable TV re-runs.  To my friends, I would probably recommend that they watch it at the cheap theater.

You can purchase a copy of Eagle Eye in the Square Galaxy Store.

Shia LaBeouf has turned himself into a sure bet for a movie to make millions and millions no matter what… even though his name is hard to remember (and spell)

@Patrick – I disagree. I thought Shia LaBeouf was one of the weaker elements of the movie. My attitude toward the character was tied to the same attitude that I had toward the dumb kid that appeared in the Transformers movie. I had a hard time taking his role seriously, and I thought that a more venerable actor might have made the movie more interesting.
