A warning about the threat in our own backyard -- but as often is the case with Hollywood blockbusters, the warning comes across more like fear-mongering than constructive social criticism. Personally, I prefer my cinema sans mongering.

It's going to make you want to take the batteries out of your cell phone.

An intelligent nail biter.

What's galling about Eagle Eye is that it could easily have been an entertaining film without constantly yielding to the impulse to blow stuff up.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 18, 2008

Did everyone involved in this botched thriller OD on speed?

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 18, 2008

But there's also a puppy-dog doesn't-know-any-better enthusiasm to this pacy fluff which means you can't get that worked up at it.

don't have the willpower, words, or energy to explain why a psychopathic CIA computer suddenly decides to take over the world. But that's the plot in a nutcase.

Some nonsense is fun, but this wears you down.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 17, 2008

As well as being the most preposterously plotted action flick of this or any year, Eagle Eye is a prime example of technophobia at its most hypocritical.

Full Review | Oct 17, 2008

A fun techno romp, mixing great bang for your buck with insights into the dangers of restricting civil liberties. Now, anyone for Shia killing blondes dressed as his dead mother?

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2008

Portentous nonsense, and loud with it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 17, 2008

But do we care? This is a disastrous mess.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2008

Eagle Eye churns and flails and piles on pointless and improbable complications.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2008

The scriptwriters are setting a trap, but there's a risk. If they push the capabilities of the unseen female voice too far -- and they do -- they risk our patience. Once you withdraw your willingness to believe, it's hard to get it back.

Full Review | Oct 3, 2008

It has been shot and edited with that hectic, all-too-familiar brand of impressionistic choppiness often used by Hollywood directors to make a silly story unintelligible.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 3, 2008

Eagle Eye feels less like a vehicle for an action hero than the latest in a series of national focus groups to determine LaBeouf's commercial viability.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2008

The simple fact is that what starts as fast and furiously entertaining potboiler easy to roll with suddenly becomes one of the more incredulously asinine and unintentionally silly disasters I've seen all year.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 26, 2008

Eagle 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.
