Review of Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye (2008)
7/10
Technology Sucks
26 September 2008
Finally, Shia stars in a movie that isn't so childish, although Transformers was great. Eagle Eye went up and over my expectations, demonstrating the idea that " Technology Sucks." Eagle Eye wasn't a very thought out political thriller, but nonetheless entertaining. Shia is accused of terrorism, and along with a side character, played by Michelle Monaghan, they run from the government, following orders from an unknown caller, in order not to die.

There is a twist ending to this movie, as things are not what they seem. I think that paying 10 bucks to see this movie in theaters was definitely be worth the price, as the special effects are excellent, but are somewhat hard to see due to many explosions and car chases. Many of the action scenes were very unrealistic, as the directors may have forgot about gravity, but otherwise they kept me on the edge of my seat. Eagle Eye deserved 7 stars for its mediocre political ideas, and great acting, except by Billy Bob Thorton.
