Eagle Eye
is a film you don't want to reveal elements of, that should be
discovered during the thriller film.
It's about two strangers thrown together
by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met.
Threatening their lives, she pushes Jerry
and Rachel into a series of very dangerous situations using technology
-- and a threat to Rachel's young son -- to track and control
their every move.
They are prisoners of a faceless enemy
who seems to have unlimited power to manipulate everything they
do.
This film merits a night out for nearly
any mainstream movie-goer. |
Rapid-fire editing and mindless car chases
make up this techno sci fi Big Brother conspiracy thriller that
is both an assault to the senses an senseless.
A mysterious voice threatens and gives
instructions to two hapless strangers who must do its bidding,
or . . . ?
It runs better as a trailer than a movie. |
The story is about a young man and a single
mother that are tossed together in a dangerous hide-and-seek
game after being framed as terrorists.
They are being commanded by a mysterious
woman's voice on their cell phones, which seems to control every
part of their lives.
The idea of ordinary citizens being blackmailed
by outrageous technology is so contrary to common sense, with
its uncontrolled terrorist subplot and its forced action sequences.
This is a preposterous tale, but the premise
of this movie is that we can run but we can't hide.
This kept my interest going long enough
to make me curiously entertained in a foolish sort of way.
I'm thankful this film is fiction, and
not true, because of the powerful control of the evil Eagle
Eye. |
