I still don't really know what to make of this movie. I recorded it a while ago, and couldn't really remember why - or what it was about. I was home alone, and wanted to watch something I knew Dan didn't want to see. As I could remember nothing at all about this movie, I figured it made a good choice.
It's basically your standard action movie. The voice-over man described it as a thriller, but I think I'd have to dispute that. There's a lot of blowing things up, so I guess if you find that thrilling then fair enough. But there's not a lot of complicated plot to follow here. Jerry (LaBeouf) and Rachel (Monaghan) are two strangers who get phone calls from a random woman who forces them to do odd things (like steal a car) using everyday technology. There is a reason for this...
Eagle Eye isn't a bad movie, it's just nothing special. Perfectly acceptable for a Wednesday evening, but I won't remember it in a month's time.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
