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

This had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! Awesome movie!
 If you only like Flash/Explosions and don't pay attention to story, this is for you. March 5, 2010

I have to say the production on action parts of this film were great, but the story was bad and so much in it doesn't make sense.
This movie feels like it was thrown together as far as it's story and plot. If i were to rate it on that alone, i'd give it a 1 star. Absolutely terrible.
This movie totally relies on it's huge explosion/flash/special effects budget to sell itself.
It has one of the best car chases and car-collisions i've seen. That maybe enough to sell this movie.
As for the plot though.. i couldn't stop laughing. It's not a comedy but it sure did seem silly. This was just as bad as "Bullet-Proof Monk", if you've ever seen that.
After watching this i have to say it is clear that they totally wanted to sell this on it's special effects to an audience that probably isn't bright enough to know how to keep up with a good story.
The acting was good though. That made up for a lot. So since that was good and the special effects were good and had a few great action scenes.. i give it 3 stars.

Since watching this film once was more than enough time I want to spend on it, I'll keep my comments brief and merely pile up some appropriate adjectives: preposterous, contrived, feeble, silly, dumb, intelligence-insulting, etc. You get the picture... I don't always agree with the critics, but they're right about this one.
Good blu-ray and acting February 18, 2010
Harold Edward Wills (Hagerstown, Maryland USA)
This was an excellent vehicle for Shia LaBoeuf, who has come a long way, but is still charming in his sincerity. The Blu-ray, for you HD fans is good, not great, nothing near Transformers but...
Great movie February 17, 2010
JG (USA)
Very enjoyable non-stop action story with quite a twist at the end. Impressive that they used a lot of real-action stunts rather than CG.
