What Eagle Eye wants to do is show us technology's dark side: all the stuff that's there to make our lives easier - ATMs, PDAs, iPods, GPS, cell phones, PCs, "smart" houses - turned against us in a vast conspiracy.

LaBeouf shambles through the movie with an endearingly lost quality -- his savoir faire is of the hangdog kind, but it pretty much works. And Monaghan, with that upturned nose and those mischievous eyes, always looks like a woman in search of trouble.

A "must see" for any action movie fan! The plot and action scenes are over the top, but it's all great fun. As always, Billy Bob Thornton has some entertaining, often sarcastic, lines.

This movie should have been called "Deus Ex Machina" instead of "Eagle Eye," because it beats this particular plot device to a bloody pulp. But if you can suspend your disbelief for two straight hours, this popcorn movie is a stylish thrill ride...
