I gave Eagle Eye a six;it probably should have been a five, but it raises issues that need to be looked at again today. I watched EE five years ago when it was in theaters. I was not especially impressed then. I rewatched it now because of its theme of overreaching government surveillance. EE now seems a bit naive. It proposes that a federal supercomputer runs amok and takes control of people's lives through its intimate knowledge of everything they do. Substitute an overreaching executive branch operating through the paranoia kings in the national security infrastructure for the insane supercomputer and you can see that Eagle Eye is still relevant today.
Relevant, but exhausting. The pace is that of a meth-addicted Jack Russell Terrier... Terrierist. The pace left me numb and unable to see all the plot holes. Saw many, but not all of them. The action and visuals are stimulating though.
Shia LaBeouf is Shia LaBeouf. Michelle Monaghan and Rosario Dawson do capable jobs in their roles and are always a delight to watch. Billy Bob Thorton is Billy Bob Thorton. Michael Chiklis does a good job in his role as a cabinet secretary.
Eagle Eye will hold your attention unless your as ADHD as it is.
