Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.
Jerry Shaw is an amiable slacker with an over-achieving twin brother. After his twin dies in an accident, strange things happen to Jerry at a dizzying pace: a fortune shows up in his bank account, weapons are delivered to his flat, and a voice on his cell phone tells him the police are on their way. Jerry follows the voice's instructions, and soon he and a woman he's never met are racing through the city, on to a plane, and eventually to the Pentagon, chased by the FBI. She is Rachel Holloman, a single mom; the voice has threatened her son's death if she doesn't cooperate. The voice seems to know everything. Who is behind it, what is being planned, and why Jerry and Rachel?
Few shortcomings take an audience out of a movie more effectively than ridiculous implausibility. If you could rank ridiculous implausibility, D.J. Caruso&#39;s Eagle Eye would give Kingdom of the Crystal Skull a serious run for 2008&#39;s top spot. The blame of this epic fail falls squarely on the shoulders of the premise, which pits U.S. National Security against an omniscient supercomputer (named Eagle Eye) that possesses the uncanny ability to dictate and direct every move in every second of every one&#39;s life. To buy into this premise, you&#39;re asked to believe every single form of technology is hardwired into an accessible mainframe, all of which can be hacked and controlled from a remote location. Yes, even your Atari 2600.<br/><br/>Once the supercomp gets it&#39;s chip set rankled by Washington&#39;s chain of command, it does what all computers with jacked up AI do: it hops aboard the HAL express. OK, maybe on paper this doesn&#39;t sound that ridiculous, but once the life of protagonist Jerry Shaw (Shia LeBouf) is turned upside down, plausibility takes a back seat to elaborate action sequence after elaborate action sequence, where survival relies on blind luck, not skill. In order for the computer&#39;s sinister master plan to be executed to perfection, these impossible odds of survival have to be defied over and over again, throughout the entire movie. You&#39;re probably asking: if Eagle Eye boasts gigaflops of processing power, then how come it can&#39;t calculate something as pedestrian as probability? Shhhh…don&#39;t ask questions the writer&#39;s either haven&#39;t considered themselves or were hoping you&#39;d be too stupid to come up with on your own. <br/><br/>What makes EE even less palatable than it&#39;s implausibility, are its ceaseless attempts to pass itself off as politically relevant, using the so-called War on Terror as its sinister back drop. By fanning the flames of fear, EE attempts to be taken seriously as not only a thrill ride, but as a political vehicle for current issues such as domestic spying, eroded civil liberties, wartime rules of engagement and so on. The makers of this movie must have gigantically swollen balls to hint at any credibility in the face of such overt ridiculousness.<br/><br/>In addition to it&#39;s insulting exploitation of hot-button topics, Caruso also throws everything he can at the screen, making EE excessively loud, flashy, fast paced and crammed to the clouds with gadget porn and faux tech. In all fairness, perhaps keeping the short attention spans of audiences piqued is the only way to keep them from noticing how ridiculously stupid your movie actually is. So if a computer generated voice calls you on your cell phone and insists you go to a theater to see Eagle Eye…tell them you&#39;re deceased and hang up. It works for telemarketers, hopefully it works for bad movies.
This is s film that defies the time frame it was released. Normally we get this kind of loud, balls to the wall entertainment in the middle of summer. But the fall brings a welcome surprise, that being Eagle Eye. Shia once again shows he is more than able to handle acting in the midst of chaos. This go around he is showing some age, which is a good thing to see.<br/><br/>The action is top notch. The plot falls into a cross between the original Matrix film (minus the whole &quot;one&quot; and all of the spiritual elements), Enemy of the State and any of the slew of films that have come out since that deal with our over dependence on technology due to the overwhelming desire to &quot;protect&quot; ourselves and the misuse of that technology, albeit this time the misuse in an accidental way.<br/><br/>This is one of those films that you have to strap yourself in and hang on. No trips to the toilet, otherwise you will miss out. That may be the only knock against the film, it rarely takes a breath to give exposition, most times character development and story detail are thrown in the midst of all the explosions that you may miss it even if you don&#39;t get up. We never really learn a whole lot about any of the characters, but learn just enough to decide whether we give a damn what happens to them through all the explosions and chases.<br/><br/>All in all, a fun ride that is solid. Not anything world shatteringly new or groundbreaking, but solid entertainment that gives you all the bang (literally) for your buck.
Monaghan gives a solid performance, and Billy Bob Thornton has sarcastically funny bits as an FBI agent.
Screenwriter Dan McDermott wrote the original script for Eagle Eye based on an idea by American director Steven Spielberg. When Spielberg was replaced as director by D.J. Caruso, McDermott&#39;s script was rewritten by screenwriters Eli Attie, John Glenn, Travis Wright, and Hillary Seitz. It is four time Oscar nominee Julianne Moore. This was confirmed by Rosario Dawson. Moore chose to be uncredited. Nope, not this time. Just your standard end credits. While Ariia&#39;s 73% unsaved memory was destroyed by Perez, her 27% saved is probably nowhere near as powerful and is therefore useless, wherever it may be. Other theories could be that the saved memory will return in a possible though improbable sequel, or that the memory was never actually saved and all of Ariia was destroyed at the same time, or the saved memory was found and destroyed. The most likely theory would be the latter since a sequel will probably never be in the works. There is an alternate ending that set up a sequel in which Sam was contacted by Ariia through his Xbox. However, that ending was not used, and therefore no other possible continuity is being set up for later on.
