Eagle Eye is not the best movie I've ever seen but it's much better than some of the other junk that been out lately. Yes, it copies almost every recent political thriller and yes it rips off some other movies too, but don't most movies recently do the same. The action was good and the main characters at least were made to be real people that you could connect with. And Billy Bob Thornton was having so much fun and was at his best since Armageddon. This movie proves again that Shia LeBeouf has some talent, too bad he can't seem to stay off the tabloids. Michelle Monaghan also was very good. Unlike some of the critics I thought the ending was quite noble. 8/10

Eagle Eye is a well-paced, action-packed popcorn movie up at the same level as most of Shia LeBouf's other movies. It had just enough mystery to keep a intellectual interest throughout the explosions, horrific deaths (though, of course, the rating meant they were off-screen), and originally awkward interaction between the two main characters. While an attentive viewer will guess most of the "surprises" before they are revealed, the question as to how the movie will ultimately end makes up for any disappointment.The acting was better than expected, the storyline as original as it could hope to be, and, all in all, it is certainly a movie I suggest to fans of action, Shia, or government conspiracies.
'Sentiment: Negative âšī¸'
It had potential...it had energy and it had a pretty decent cast and to some degree a good story concept......but somehow the story got mangled and butchered and Hollywood execs decided that Hollywood has to be involved more than it was and hence - there goes the logic and here come the absurd explosions and illogical action sequences.I really looked forward to seeing this because well, it was something along the lines like I am writing...I however am going 10 steps beyond this story by making mine much more realistic by not adding so many improbable and idiotic actions.A steady movie which seems to go offtrack by making too many actions just too absurd and retarded.So much potential and so much potential lost.
