Eagle Eye

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Billy Bob Thornton, Rosario Dawson, the bald guy from the SHIELD, this black guy from some black movie that I'm sure my wife likes

EAGLE EYE was a pretty damn good movie. I was impressed. Think ENEMY OF THE STATE, THE NET, and/or WAR GAMES mixed together with a lot of steroids. The entire movie was action-packed and filled with suspense. I don't think I've seen this kind of edge-of-your-seat, non-stop action in a while. Didn't pump the brakes at all.

Eagle Eye is about a twin slacker and a single mother who somehow get forced into terrorist-like mini-missions by this anonymous female phone caller. She can see their every move and can, with the help of our convenient little technology devices, pretty much control their lives. Man versus machine(s), to say the very least.

Shia and Monaghan are running for their lives and running from the law. Their connection to all this madness is revealed later, so I won't talk about it here. I will say that Rosario Dawson is the sexiest lizard that I've ever laid eyes on. She's another one who hides her "kids" well. I kept expecting Billy Bob to go all BAD SANTA on someone. He's a good actor. And he ooofed Angelina.

Shia has the X-factor. Has he made a bad movie? Talk about luck, opportunity, and talent all lining up at the same time. That guy's got it good. He plays the everyman-slacker-who-has-to-battle-his-way-out-of-an-impossible-situation well. Check his movies. Is that his appeal? I always seem to like his movies.

Great guy movie. Technology and action. It was almost like a Bruckheimer movie. Why is it that in every action movie, if there's a guy and a girl, they have to hook up? Action sequences create sexual chemistry? I hate that. Except for that, excellent action movie. I give it two iPods with 22X more "gibs" than mine taking over our lives...
