It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I mean dude, like common, there should be some moderation in exaggerating your plot, if you are not intending to make a comedy movie.I mean listening to a digital (recorded) voice that knows answer to all Your questions and have the answers and protocol of all odds, is that aliens we are dealing with? I mean oh my goodness! The leading roles transformation was not any less exaggerated! From a student to a top notch professional who had extreme experience in handling the guns and... eyes rolling up!I Didn't even got a chance to pay attention to acting and performances!I guess the performance were not as bad as the story line. Also I give some credits to the camera as it created a semi- exciting movie.

Eagle Eye is a gut wrenching, heart pounding-thriller from beginning to end. Although stories like this one have been told before, this one really does tell it like no other giving us a perspective that hits home. Eagle Eye is about national security and what would happen if someone evil were to get inside and turn everything upside down on the people in charge of running the country. Now, I cannot say too much without giving the movie away so I'll keep it brief. Eagle Eye has outstanding action scenes and special effects! I believe it has something to offer for everyone. The writing is fair and the music is as well. The acting is believable from the entire cast and for once Shia Labeouf does a grand job of making us care for his characters safety and happiness. There is, however, a little more "language" then I believe necessary. To quote Nathan Wilson "language is necessary to an extent. If you're a cop and see a dead women you're not going to say 'oh darn, he got away again!'" with that being said, I rest my case. I said in the beginning of the review that this movie hits home and I'll tell you why; being a dad and a husband, I see now that I would do just about anything for the safety of my children. Just about. How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Would you kill or find a way out if there was one even though people could still die or get hurt in the end. Don't get me wrong, I love my family to death but this movie pushes the line of how far one can or could go to save them; to the point that makes all other people and priorities irrelevant including the safety of one countries future. We can't always protect our children from all bad things that happen in this fallen world, the best we can do is be there for them if they do get hurt and pick them back up. Eagle Eye stresses that point. I think we should too.

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.

I don't know where all the other reviewers were sitting, but I thought this movie was great. I'm not afraid of their comments on my comment either. Both of the main actors did a very good believable job. I liked this movie so much I have watched it over and over at least 2 times a day for 3 months. It is packed full of action and suspense. If you get picky and get lost in fine print errors or goofs, sure there are a lot of them. 'spoiler alert'Such that I found that I haven't heard anyone mention, right before Rachel turned left to go to the scrap yard, there was a police car on the left side of her. He would have hit her and more than likely killed them both. There was one scene at the end where the Red headed lady called Rachel "Miss Crowley" and I have not yet found where this comes from. 'non-spoiler alert'Shia has become a very good actor over the years and in my opinion has created characters that were capable of putting you at the edge of your seat. This movie along with Transformers (the first one) were movies that I watched over and over. I think that within the next 40 or 50 years, we are going to see a lot of this young man, and a lot of good movies.
