TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Davis P Eagle Eye is really a very fun and entertaining film! Shia and Michelle were great in the lead roles! And billy bob Thornton was good in his supporting role too. The action scenes were really fun and exciting and they weren't crowded or anything. Also the plot and the script were well constructed, now it isn't the most original thing in the whole world, but i don't really think it needed to be. If you are looking for a fun, exciting, action packed, well written film to enjoy on a Saturday or Friday night, then this movie is for you my friend. It has all the things that make a successful action movie great! Not sure why the film critics were so darn harsh with it, rotten tomatoes only gave it a 26% out of 100, c'mon it deserves a lot more than that! Eagle Eye gets a 9/10, not quite perfect, but almost. Oh and a shout out to Julianne Moore, we only get to hear her in This movie.

Nicole C The film is well crafted and the narrative style complements the story. As the audience is also somewhat left in the dark as to what is happening, it helps us engage more into the lives of the characters of Shaw and Holloway. This makes the audience sympathize with them, since we get quite a bit of background information from both, and they connect through necessity. LaBeouf and Monaghan do a good job with their characters. LaBeouf plays both Jerry Shaw and the twin, and I guess there is a bit of distinction between the two characters. We don't see enough of the twin, but he did sufficiently well in separating the personality of the two characters. Monaghan plays the worried and loving mother well, though this gender stereotype with the woman having the child, and the man being a lone wolf is getting tiresome. The action and visual effects are great in this. The movie is quite fast-paced and slows at times, but is overall very engaging. The chase scenes are exciting and some even nerve-wrecking. Cinematography and editing make these scenes more intense, as for example, we are in the car when a crash happens which gives the impression that we are in the crash and makes us tense up. The story is pretty original, putting a little twist in the rise and fall of humanity and the relationship with technology. However, there is some ideological patriotism going on, and I guess they needed the military input to generate the story, but it could be done differently too. This just makes it another movie about saving the country, i.e. America.Overall, an exciting film with great action, acting and a intriguing story.

Prismark10 Eagle Eye is a high tech concept thriller. Shia LaBeouf finds out that his identical twin brother has died. After the funeral he discovers money has been deposited in his account, bomb making material in his apartment and a mysterious woman phones him that the police are on their way to arrest him.Michelle Monaghan plays a single mom whose son is off to play a concert in Washington also receives a phone call from the same woman and she is also coerced to follow instructions or her son will be killed.The film is a preposterous techno thriller of a military supercomputer out of control which can dominate things not even on the grid including power lines (although technically that is on the grid!)Eagle Eye was at one time slated to be directed by Steven Spielberg and is inspired by an Isaac Asimov story. I guess Spielberg felt that the screenplay was never going to meet with his standards. Director DJ Caruso keeps at the film moving at a frenetic place so you never realise how implausible the film is. However there is little chemistry between Monaghan and LaBeouf and you get a feeling that many good actors are wasted.

Adam Peters (37%) A piece made entirely for the average opening weekend cinema goer. The type of person who decides what film to go and watch by the billboard they just drove past, or a 10 second TV spot. Someone who thinks that the critics are way too harsh with the "awesome" transformers movies. The type of person who are far more interested in the popcorn and fizzy drink combo than the actual film itself. People who just want a big bang for every one of their bucks. Folk who always between the "boring talky bits" check their text messages and distract everyone around them with the annoying glow from their phone's screen. And quite frankly if that's you in a nutshell then this is a good watch. In fact you might even deem it awesome, but if that's the case then you likely paid with your ticket using pocket money. With a fair bit of Will Smith's "Enemy of the state" this is a movie most high school students would alter Hitchcock's entire back-catalogue to be more like, ie take out character depth, almost all the tension, subtlety, and just hand over all the action by the bargain bucket load. While this does roll along at a fair old speed, is very watchable, and isn't really what I'd call even near to being terrible, but it still couldn't be more of a hollow, overly produced, and very silly experience even if it tried.
