Jul 7, 2010
Everything's chopped up into those woozy, bite-size snippets of flashing lights and spinning tires, thrown into a blender and then regurgitated on screen.
Dec 24, 2009
Eagle Eye is a totally derivative, unoriginal techno-thriller, cribbing scenes and ideas from better films. ... But it's also thoroughly entertaining.
Aug 30, 2009
...one could certainly do far worse as far as movies of this ilk go.
Mar 16, 2009
This is nobody's idea of an intelligent political thriller (or satire), but it is an orgy for the senses.
Jan 6, 2009
So colossally ridiculous (and transparently derivative) that willing suspension of disbelief is a fool's errand. [Blu-ray]
Dec 31, 2008
Attempting to tap into the public's collective fears and suspicions comes D.J. Caruso's preposterous Eagle Eye, an action film with plenty of thrills but I have no idea what alternate reality it's set in.
Dec 30, 2008
What, you can't relate to someone being controlled by an omniscient machine?
Dec 29, 2008
...one long, hyperkinetic chase, with the audience wondering what in the heck is happening.
Dec 22, 2008
Lowest-common-denominator filmmaking at its most discouraging, with makers who believe moviegoers too stupid to think, so instead opt for constant adrenal gland stimulation.
Dec 21, 2008
Pay heed to the movie's warning: Technological advancements might indeed become a concern in the future, especially if they allow for greater mass production of duds like this one.
Nov 26, 2008
The cast is not the problem. They are are merely pawns in this cluttered, Ritalin-infused action film that stretches plausibility so often that it would be more accurately described as science fiction.
Nov 15, 2008
Eagle Eye occupies a treacherous middle ground. It isn't credible enough to work as a thriller and isn't ridiculous enough to work as a spoof.
Nov 12, 2008
The morons going to Eagle Eye are the ones who would most benefit from its message in spoon-fed form.
