Eagle Eye is a great flick. Shia LeBeouf has arrived people! OK, we weren't quite sure of him in the new Indiana Jones flick and in the prior films (Transformers and before, except Disturbia, didn't see that one) he has always played a younger person, i.e. a kid or teenager. Now he is playing a set of twins and an adult set of twins. Now this wouldn't be a big deal if he was unable to pull off the characters, but LeBeouf does it. He acts a very good role in this movie. So don't count it out when it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray December 28 2008.
Now to get down to the Movie:
The movie can be taken as a failed attempt of the US's to make a "Big Brother1" like system. In this movie there is a 36th floor to Pentagon where a A.I.C. (Artificial Intellegent Computer) has been built that can contact any computer or device in the world that is connected to a network. It can listen through any microphone that is any device that some sort of network connection behind it.
That is what starts off the plot and that is where Shia comes in. Now that I have ruined the movie's concept for you I won't ruin the story so go check it out if it is still in your local dollar theater. Or wait the next four days for it to come out on DVD and Blu-ray.
Over all this is a good fast pace never stops sort of movie. I really enjoyed sitting there watching it. Don't worry it does have some breaks in the action. It goes, goes, goes... or that's a break... goes, goes. The breaks are well spaced and still move the story along!
