Eagle Eye


I figure why the hell not. I typically write reviews for indie movies and the occasional good blockbuster. This movie wasn't the greatest movie in the world but does not fail to captivate the audience. Its very fast pace and filled with action. Shia Lebouf even though something about him screams d-bag to me, is amazing on screen...the kid has talent. He dominated in disturbia, a filmed which i feel with different actors would have been mediocre at best. The movie is set Chicago with a washed up Stanford undergrad who has long dropped out. He gets a call notifying him about his brothers death. The movie then trickles into a series of action filled events after receiving a phone call from a woman that forces him to outrun the authorities. The film shows off some of the latest air force technology, it again shows how the air force is dominating in hollywood films. I saw this at the imax in chicago, and have to say it was awesome! I have give this 7/10 due to the fact that at times some the events and parts of the plot were bit far fetched.
