Too much of everything

The Worst Film Ever

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Eagle eye is a movie that was released on September 26 2008 with a six out of ten star review. If you like action, mystery and thriller you should watch this movie. Jerry Shaw(Shia labeouf) is the main character for eagle eye. A little about this movie is that Jerry Shaw has a twin brother that die. the brother was the smart one and Jerry Shaw was a thief. he has a credit and goes to a ATM and deposit money. when he does that thousands of dollars comes out. He goes back to his apartment and has military equipment and doesn't know how it got there. He gets arrested and he escapes and helps this women find her kid by force. He goes on a quest to destroy this thing called the eagle eye. if you like this review you should watch this movie.

Eagle Eye is a gut wrenching, heart pounding-thriller from beginning to end. Although stories like this one have been told before, this one really does tell it like no other giving us a perspective that hits home. Eagle Eye is about national security and what would happen if someone evil were to get inside and turn everything upside down on the people in charge of running the country. Now, I cannot say too much without giving the movie away so I'll keep it brief. Eagle Eye has outstanding action scenes and special effects! I believe it has something to offer for everyone. The writing is fair and the music is as well. The acting is believable from the entire cast and for once Shia Labeouf does a grand job of making us care for his characters safety and happiness. There is, however, a little more "language" then I believe necessary. To quote Nathan Wilson "language is necessary to an extent. If you're a cop and see a dead women you're not going to say 'oh darn, he got away again!'" with that being said, I rest my case. I said in the beginning of the review that this movie hits home and I'll tell you why; being a dad and a husband, I see now that I would do just about anything for the safety of my children. Just about. How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Would you kill or find a way out if there was one even though people could still die or get hurt in the end. Don't get me wrong, I love my family to death but this movie pushes the line of how far one can or could go to save them; to the point that makes all other people and priorities irrelevant including the safety of one countries future. We can't always protect our children from all bad things that happen in this fallen world, the best we can do is be there for them if they do get hurt and pick them back up. Eagle Eye stresses that point. I think we should too.

Eagle Eye (2008): Dir: D.J. Caruso / Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Chiklis: Action packed mess about paranoia, such as those people in the audience who feared that their being in attendance of this film would hurt their reputation. Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan are forced by unseen forces to do as told or suffer consequences. Technology becomes the enemy as a voice via cell phone and other means prevent them from aborting their orders. Directed by D.J. Caruso with tremendous action scenes but car crashes are marveled as opposed to being suspenseful. Caruso previously made Taking Lives, and also worked with LaBeouf before in the pitiful Disturbia. Apparently nobody thought to send him ominous phone calls telling him to abort this project. LeBeouf arrives at his apartment only to find it packed with guns. A voice on the phone informs him that police are on their way. He escapes and spends the remainder of the film narrowly escaping death. He is joined by Monaghan who will join LaBeouf in his several near death encounters. Her biggest near death experience involves her career and this stupid action film farce. Rosario Dawson and Billy Bob Thornton are a complete waste as two investigators. Totally contrived and manipulating action film with little purpose as far as the eye can see. Score: 3 / 10

A super computer that can control every electrical device on the planet, needs the help of two reluctant, untrained and unreliable civilians to carry out it's plan. That should tell you just how stupid this movie is going to be. Of course it's a male and female who are Strangers to each other, so you have to wait and wonder will they or won't they get romantically involved. It takes quite a while to find out what it is the supercomputer has planned, but from then on, it's rather predictable, as two ordinary people manage to become and do what highly trained military personnel can't. Of course the computer has the same shortcomings of many people and politicians, who believe that the end justifies the means, despite the fact that this whole drama (plot) started because the computer disagreed with an executive decision of the president. Lots of gratuitous car chases and crashes(for those who like that sort of thing). Lots of intrigue and suspense, before it becomes obvious a computer is calling the shots. Lots of outlandish and highly improbable scenes and stunts. Take it for what it is, far fetched action packed Hollywood fantasy.
