Eagle Eye

I checked out Eagle Eye on its opening weekend and it was decent. Lots of action sequences and chase scenes. If you like action, government conspiracy and technology, you'll like this movie. It reminded me a bit of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Think HAL with a smooth female computer voice and your cell phone on speed dial. There was definitely an underlying political theme to the movie or maybe it wasn't so underlying if you paid attention.

Shia LaBeouf was relatively convincing as a social slacker thrust into chaos and corruption. The end was very predictable once you understood the twist but the plot was interesting. This post is long overdue so you peeps have probably already seen the movie or are waiting for it to come out on DVD. I rate it as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. This movie goes well with popcorn and government omnipotence.
