Eagle Eye PG 13
D. J. Carusa directs a Shia LaBeuof
action flick about a secret government operation where the hero is tracked
everywhere via camera and gets in and out of explosive situations. Similar to a
half dozen James Bond movies, and the Bourne trilogy, but really steals
liberally from Tom Clancey based video games. Shia's attempt to play a spy who
isn't supposed to be is a laughable expansion on the 'Phone Booth' ideas and on
Matt Damon in bourne, where the computer stuff is ripped off from a dozen other
movies, most notably War Games and 'Goldeneye' and 'Moonraker'. If it wasn't
trying to hard to be a post 9/11 thriller an to everything but tell an actual cohesive
story, it could have been fun. Since when is the US government that good with
their master computer? Ha. Seems like Hal's sister is in this one because it
does do 2001 territory too. You wonder why they didn't just install Vista on
the mainframe and fry it. Review by Adam Browne
