Movie Reviews of Eagle Eye (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Can you say War Games?
Summary: 5 Stars
!!!!There may be spoilers below!!!!
Ok, so this was a really good movie. It kind of reminded me of the movie War Games. If you've never seen that film I would say go rent or buy it. It is probably at such a low price now. This though is not about that film. This is my opinion about Eagle Eye.
This movie has some good actors in it. I usually prefer older actors over new oes because of the level of quality they put out. However there are some great young actors in this film. Well I mean I'm only 23 so I guess I should say there are some great actors my age. Some of of them are. Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson and Michael. They all do a great job in this film. A couple of other really good actors in the film are Ethan Embry and Billy Bob Thornton. Now I have seen Embry and Thornton in a lot f films. Some of these are That Thing You Do and Vegas Vacation for Embry and Armageddon and Mr. Woodcock for Thornton. I just saw Made of Honor which had Michelle Monaghan. This was a really funny movie. I would say if you've yet you've yet to see it I would suggest you check it out.
Now for the important part. My review of Eagle Eye. As I said in the beginning this kind of reminded me of war games. I will not say in what way because I do not want to give away to much of the movie. Ok, the movie is about a boy "Jerry Shaw" who can't keep a job. His father is always comparing him to his brother who is in the Air Force. He gets a call informing him that his brother has died. That's when the trouble starts. One day he goes to the A.T.M and he has over 700 thousand dollars. He does not understand how or why this money is there. He then goes home and has a lot of things in his house. Like cases of weapons and other military things. Then he gets a phone call telling him to run. He doesn't understand and says no. Thinking that it is a joke. His house is raided and he is in jail. He gets another phone call telling him to run. There is an explosion and he runs. You will learn more of his brother as the movie goes on. There are important things that have to do with his brother, so pay attention.
He is not alone though. For there is a lady who gets the same phone calls. She has a young son in school and she is told if she does not comply to the demands her son will die. Her son will have a big part in the main scheme of things. That is not something I will tell you about though. As I said in the beginning I do not want to give away to much. You never really find out why her son is picked. I have an idea and it has to do with a skill he has. You'll see!
So now these two people are trapped. By an enemy they can not see but whom can see them WHEREVER they go. The enemy gets access to all the cameras on the streets and everywhere else. The lady who called earlier calls and gives them exact directions to get to the places she has instructed then to go. It really blew my mind when I thought about how true a lot of this stuff could be. The two will come to find out who is on the other end of the phone. Again you will probably think WOW.
I saw this with my mom and my stepfather. I am 23 and them 42 and 44. We each have our own types of movies we like but we all really liked this one. I am sure a lot of people will enjoy this movie. It has good acting. Lots of action. A lot to do with technology and conspiracy. I am going to buy this when it comes out because it seems like one of those movies you can enjoy more than once. This movie is for people with all kinds of picks and favorites. When the world is going crazy watch this about a world going crazy and perhaps it will take your mind off the real stuff for a while!
Also, I was wondering why in the heck this movie is so expensive? I mean over 30 dollars! That's more than the blu ray version!!!!
Summary of Eagle Eye (Two-Disc Special Edition)
EAGLE EYE (SPECIAL EDITION) - DVD MovieThe "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
