Eagle Eye (2008)
7/10
Bizarre and unoriginal yet exhilarating
19 December 2008
This film left me with a mix of feelings from drowsy to confused, from thrill to numbness. The film has an outlandish plot, and a wacky series of occurrences with no backbone. However the lazy and plagiarist plot is revived by solid performances from Shiw LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan, as the main protagonists of the film. Plus, as unrealistic as Eagle Eye might have been, it delivers its fair share of edge-of-you-seat moments. The car chases, the shoot outs and all the other tension filled scenes make the movie seem so cool, although it's just another suspense film that hugely relied on those that came before it. However, the one thing that made me love Eagle Eye is Shia LaBeouf's solid performance. He was just phenomenal. He was witty at times, and aggressive throughout the film and possessed an awesome enthusiasm and consistence. Other than that Eagle Eye remains to be another mediocre attempt at the suspense genre.
