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

Rating:  - non stop action
This movie is non stop action. I found myself holding my breath during scenes amazed at how they were done. Good plot line, good actors. All in all a thriller worth watching.
Rating: - Good, but not great......
I thought the movie was pretty suspenseful and overall was good. The general plot that computers are taking over seems exceedingly used in the theaters and TV. But between the actors, special effects and storyline the film seems to keep you wanting to know whats next and interested. 4 stars
Rating:  - Be warned...
This movie was good and entertaining and I really enjoyed watching it... until the end. The ending of this movie is terrible! Quite possibly the worst ending to a movie I have ever seen and as a movie freak I have seen alot of movies and alot of terrible endings. I think Shia Labeouf is becoming a great actor and Spielberg is a genius but this was just ridiculous. The ending turned a good entertaining movie into complete garbage. I give this movie 2 stars because I'd say if you really want to see ... Read More
Rating:  - 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.
Rating: - 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.
