DVD Reviews of Eagle Eye
DVD Review: Fast paced entertainment, over the top melodrama too
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie was fast paced and entertaining, so I'd certainly recommend renting it for anyone that likes this kind of movie, but seeing twice isn't something I'd recommend, it's not that kind of action.
There are a lot of over the top, too hard to believe scenarios you'll be forced to accept when watching this, not just of the "it's science fiction so accept the world type stuff", but more of the "even if it could happen, it wouldn't be like this type".
It's interesting to me how many movies throw in something about radical Islam that is simply 180 degrees from the truth, in this film it's the idea that a mistaken target somehow has made America less safe, in other words, Islamic radicals wouldn't want to attack us so much if we were more careful in our targeting of radicals. This is simply not the case, if we were to lay down all our weapons, is anyone foolish enough to believe there would be peace?
It's on that false premise the movie is built, so you must be willing to suspend reality totally to get into the show, on several levels.
As far as plot twists and action, it's okay, so that's where I came up with the three stars.
DVD Review: Eagle Eye...worth seeing.
Summary: 4 Stars
i'ma give it to you straight forward. this is a great movie from beginning to end it takes you on a thrill ride. as cliche as that may sound it's the only way of explaining it. non stop action. not the very best movie out there but it certainly gives you your money's worth. it's worth buying to add to your collection. i love this movie. highly recommend it.DVD Review: 2nd Hitchcock update for Shia!
Summary: 2 Stars
Has anyone noticed that Shia LeBeouf has done two modern updates of Hitchcock films? "Disturbia" is an amped-up "Rear Window", while "Eagle Eye" with the child murdering a political figure during a performance is a shoo-in for "The Man Who Knew Too Much" meets Minority Report. It seems Shia sees himself in the mold of James Stewart / Cary Grant's bumbling and unlikely Hitchcockian heroes.DVD Review: Avoid widescreen version
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw the (first hour of the) widescreen DVD. It is presented in 2.35:1, but the film was obviously shot and framed at a much squarer aspect ratio. Actors heads were constantly half in and half out of frame, or sometimes chopped off at the shoulders. It's headache-inducing, after a while I could not watch any more. Avoid this version.DVD Review: Little Far Fetched, But Entertaining
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a action packed movie. It goes pretty far overboard on the story line, but it is entertaining to watch.
Good rental movie, but wouldn't buy it.
Description of Eagle Eye
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 12/26/2008The "cell phone thriller" is becoming a genre unto itself, and Eagle Eye should be considered a key example of the form. Frankly preposterous but compulsively watchable, this movie puts Shia LaBeouf in a mess of trouble instigated by a mysterious telephone voice. If he doesn't follow orders, dire things will happen--although when he does follow orders, the consequences are pretty dire, anyway. Also being blackmailed is a single mom (Michelle Monaghan) receiving similar phone calls. Why are they being jerked around by the purring female voice, and why is the road leading to Washington, D.C.? Actually, you won't have time to contemplate these questions, because director D.J. Caruso (who guided LaBeouf in Disturbia) keeps the action going at the customary breakneck pace. This is a wise move, because the real questions you'd likely be asking have to do with the plausibility of events on a minute-by-minute basis (most notably: how could Mysterious Phone Voice possibly know that the two pigeons would survive the hoops she makes them fly through, each one more death-defying than the last?). The actors tumble through this mayhem like scattering bowling pins, including Billy Bob Thornton and Rosario Dawson as government agents. Nobody has time to make much of an impression, and LaBeouf has much less room for puppydog charm than he did in Disturbia. Even that would be all right within the movie's berserk parameters, but the really irritating thing is the way the tacked-on final scenes reverse what would have been a heroic climax. No guts, no glory. --Robert Horton
