It's come in a little late but this movie is really worth watching. Though I wouldn't exactly put it amongst the best pictures of the year '08, it certainly had its thrills. One would appreciate perhaps, the efforts of D. J. Caruso (the director) trying his best to make the plot look as if its much to offer than what already is. The plot is set so hastily to make this happen, i.e. with the extended car chases and even more so the heavily perspiring chases on foot (Le Beouf must have had tones of vaseline tubs to go through with all that sticky sweat running down his face). For Le Beouf in particular,
Eagle Eye was just a slight variation from his performance in
Transformers where machines got the better of humans, only this time the machine had Julianne Moore's voice and his
gal pal is no longer the young and hot Megan Fox. Coming back to the thrills I mentioned earlier, it lies in all the very futuristic but believable theories of how we're all being watched and that 1 in 5 of our phone calls are being tapped. This movie however, would give the FBI, CIA and NSA a run for their money with all of that made up crap, but it was entertaining to say the least, both for me and hopefully for you too.
