Audience Reviews for Eagle Eye

Jul 26, 2020

The most interesting part of the film is dropped not long after the film's act two reveal, and a film that seemed "not great, but promising", ended up losing its promise.

You can stay for the action sequences.

Very entertaining and a good story even though it seems like allot of effort for something that could of been done easier but I suppose it wouldn't of been as entertaining, Good action intense chase scenes, The special effects looked good, The acting was on the mark, Ignore the hate watch it for yourself.

I don't think this movie deserved the rating Rotten Tomatoes gave, I though it was pretty dam good. First the performances were great, especially Shia LaBeouf, he was awesome. I really like the idea of who is the mysterious caller, even though if its predictable who the caller is. The action scenes are what stand out, their really good action scenes. The ending with the caller is pretty predictable, but the real ending is very heroic, so its a really fun action-thriller, I recommend it.
