Amazon.co.uk Review
Eagle Eye reteams Shia LaBeouf with his Disturbia director D J Caruso, and the two of them prove once more that they know how to knock out a decent thriller. Kicking off with lots of serious faces, military advisors and a decision to make about whether to bomb a target or not, this quick, brutal introduction not only kick starts the plot developments, but it also brings in the advanced technology that underpins much of what Eagle Eye does. Not that it’s all that plausible, but it’s the kind of film that very much rewards turning your brain down a notch, and being willing to sit back to be entertained.
Should you do that, then Eagle Eye is a very enjoyable tech-thriller, that papers over its cracks by racing out of the traps at speed, and never really looking back. Fortunately, it remembers to keep you entertained as it does so, and Shia LaBeouf already eats roles like this up in his sleep. The plot of Eagle Eye finds LaBeouf’s character receiving a mobile phone call with strict instructions to do exactly what he’s told, else things are going to go very wrong, very quickly. Michelle Monaghan is in a similar position, and the pair of them find themselves caught up in a sinister plot that we won’t be spoiling for you here.
Now granted, you can drive trucks through some of the plot holes here, and likewise, there’s ground covered here that Cellular did perfectly well. Yet Eagle Eye is what it is: solid blockbuster entertainment, starring a man whose star is very much on the rise. It might be a hard film to love, but it’s equally hard not to enjoy it. --Jon Foster

Eagle Eye is without doubt one of the best action films I have ever seen. I first saw it when on holiday in florida and, loving it so much, bought it when we got back and thoroughly enjoyed it again and again. Shia LaBeouf is incredible in this film, as is Monaghan.
The plot itself has got to be highly praised for its depth and overall brilliance. The writers must be extremely talented to create such a real world for our leading characters Jerry and Rachel to stop an impending terrorist attack. These two people are "activated" and forced to do things that they would never do in there normal lives (when I say this, I dont mean it in terms of cutting off their leg or eating someone's feet like in SAW or HOSTEL!).
An absolutely fantastic film which I can guarantee will have you falling off of your chair because you sat too far off the edge of your seat!
If I could, I'd rate it 6 stars!

i just finished watching this movie. OMG it is brilliant. i must confess that i did not buy this. i rented it from BB. was not expecting anything impressive but i must admit that this movie is fast paced, action packed, on hell of a roller coaster ride.
the story is not that far fetched as some have suggested. interestig plot line and spectacular action sequences. the pic quality is excellent as u can see (even count, lol) the pimples on the heros face.
oh and i agree DO NOT READ STEPHEN STEWART'S REVIEW. it will spoil the film for u.

Quick paced
A Very face paced movie. Slightly far fetched, although entertaining. A film that makes you think about today's surveillance society.

This film is about surveillance and the role of the state, having said all that is it certainly not The Conversation [DVD] or Blow Out [DVD]. Read more

Nothing Special Here
Potentially a very good movie, the storyline seems great but fails to live up to expectations. Average movie but still probably worth watching.

Not Bad, just not Good either
As an action film this is ok, even if the plot is unbelievable who cares. the film is about a twin forced to go to washington for some unknown reason, all of which becomes clear... Read more
