Reviews for Eagle Eye
Top CriticAn intelligent nail biter.

Top CriticDid everyone involved in this botched thriller OD on speed?
10/18/08
Top CriticEagle Eye churns and flails and piles on pointless and improbable complications.
10/03/08
Top CriticEagle Eye, with a more nuanced idea of paranoia and the ills of technology gone wild, could have been both entertaining and disturbing. Deafening isn't quite the same thing.
09/26/08
Top CriticIt all wears very thin by the third act, when The Voice really starts to grate and all remaining sense slams into a brick wall.
09/26/08
Top CriticThe movie doesn't have three brain cells to rub together, but the premise carries it a long way.
09/26/08
Top CriticAt the very least, Eagle Eye gives us two principals who are appealing enough to keep us interested in them.
09/26/08
Top CriticShould this film be a huge box office success, it will stand as a sad testament to how low the bar for cinematic entertainment has been set.
09/26/08
Top CriticEagle Eye is big, loud and expensive, but it's not particularly entertaining.
09/26/08
Top CriticThere are lots of new wrinkles to ponder about American surveillance, but it seems that all the writers have surveilled is HBO.
09/26/08
Top CriticFinally, an action-adventure thriller that feels as if it were created, directed and acted, soup to nuts, by a computer program.
09/26/08
Top CriticThe film is a rag bag of concepts and characters from earlier, vastly better movies.
09/26/08
Top CriticForget suspending disbelief; you would have to suspend consciousness to go along with this story.
09/26/08
Top CriticFor all its digitally effected chaos, the cinematic threat level in Eagle Eye never even comes close to orange.
09/26/08
Top CriticDie Hard meets The Fugitive meets 2001: A Space Odyssey in the fully paranoid Eagle Eye, a frantic thriller that's nowhere near as good as its influences but still manages to get the job done.
09/26/08
Top Critic[Hitchcock] for a modern age bloated by steroids, addled by action, and incapable of long-term attention.
09/26/08
Top CriticIt might merit a B-minus in the silly popcorn movie category if it didn't unwisely decide, toward the end, that it wasn't willing to be just a silly popcorn movie.
09/26/08
Top CriticWith less expensive actors, it might just have been called Chase Movie, and played for laughs.
09/26/08
Top CriticAs tightly coiled as a Slinky, and for all their running around, LaBeouf and the normally engaging Monaghan are stuck with characters who aren't particularly lively and, more problematic, fail to spark the requisite chemistry.
