Movie Reviews of Eagle Eye
Movie Review: RICK "SHAQ" GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "FULL THROTTLE ENTERTAINMENT"
Summary: 5 Stars
The uppermost goal of a fictional action movie is to entertain... and "Eagle Eye" certainly hits the "BULL'S-EYE" in that respect. If the viewer is willing to stop trying to figure out if every high-tech gadget and program is legitimate... this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat for the full one-hundred-eighteen minutes. The central character is a gigantic super-computer that decides... based on its artificial intelligence... to take over the United States by a methodology that I will let the potential viewer uncover. This core representation is strikingly similar in character and presentation to "2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY" and its computer HAL. The only difference is that HAL was "male" and in outer space... while this computer is "female" and in the pentagon.
The photography is stellar... and the early action sequences are typical Spielberg... in other words... you find yourself saying... "How did they film this?" The supporting characters are excellently cast including Michael Chiklis as a Donald Rumsfeld -like- Secretary of Defense... Billy Bob Thornton as a dedicated FBI boss... Rosario Dawson as an OSI agent... among others. The two lead characters Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan... are two young adult actors (actress) that I feel will be big stars for a long time to come. Shia's ability to show a complete range of emotions... simply... and persuasively... merely by changing his facial expressions... is reminiscent of the great ones like Hackman... Pacino... and Nicholson.
A final note regarding... the at times... not to be believed... computer sequences. I have been in the computer business for over thirty-five years... including in the military... and I was involved in security areas with the OSI... and while a lot of the applications portrayed... are over the top... a lot of them are in use today and have been for a long time... it's just the public isn't allowed to be aware of them. The protocol is normally that when a technology is obsolete... then it's shared with the public.
