I had been waiting to see this movie for MONTHS, and I’ve gotta say, it didn’t let me down (like LakeView Terrace did). I won’t be a meanie and spoil the movie for you, but let’s just say it was FUN to watch.
First off, the plot was on the same wavelength as to what’s going on in the world today. My entry about ‘Big Brother Watching‘ was realized in this film for sure. Technology, networks and ‘The Patriot Act’ were the driving forces of the film.
The stars of Eagle Eye; Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan were being led by an anonymous caller through a cat and mouse game with the FBI and the Air force. They were commanded to jump off buildings, run high speed chases with the cops, rob, steal, and even inject themselves with questionable substances while stowing away on a cargo plane. The whole while, they were carefully being watched by this caller through surveillance cameras and satellite; never knowing the full extent of what they were doing…and more importantly, WHY?!?!?
The plot was excuted perfectly and most of my questions during the film were answered by the end. Overall, I give it a 10 out of 10!
I only have a few side notes…
- Why was the president in 2009 a grey haired white man? Are they implying that McCain’s going to win the election?
- I didn’t like the way the ‘ARIA‘ looked…too fake for me.
- There was a case that they were forced to carry and protect for a part of the film…they used the contents for something…but in my mind..I think the writers actually intended to use that for something else..it just didn’t fit to me.
