Brent Simon |
A slickly packaged yet ultimately unpersuasive political action thriller.

But there’s also a puppy-dog doesn’t-know-any-better enthusiasm to this pacy fluff which means you can’t get that worked up at it.

With a preposterous plot that does not bear close analysis, Eagle Eye should fall short. But such is the breakneck pace of proceedings the holes in the story zoom by too fast for you to notice. And for all its flaws, it's an enjoyable slice of hokum.

don’t have the willpower, words, or energy to explain why a psychopathic CIA computer suddenly decides to take over the world. But that’s the plot in a nutcase.

Some nonsense is fun, but this wears you down.

As well as being the most preposterously plotted action flick of this or any year, Eagle Eye is a prime example of technophobia at its most hypocritical.

A fun techno romp, mixing great bang for your buck with insights into the dangers of restricting civil liberties. Now, anyone for Shia killing blondes dressed as his dead mother?

This numbskull knock-off of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Enemy of the State has the unlikely effect of making Tony Scott look like Alfred Hitchcock.

It’s not bad and it ticks all the boxes but somehow it doesn’t quite come off – but I can’t you explain why.

This has to be the dumbest and most implausible action movie of the year.

The plot is totally nonsensical but is played at such a thrilling pace that it barely matters.

Portentous nonsense, and loud with it.

Enjoyable, fast-paced thriller that compensates for its increasingly ridiculous plot with strong performances, great direction and some terrific action sequences.

The 1984 nightmare has been bolted to 2001 (as in Space Odyssey) to make one of the better action thrillers of 2008

Keeps our attention all the way through, even as the plot gets increasingly preposterous

Eagle Eye is a totally derivative, unoriginal techno-thriller, cribbing scenes and ideas from better films. ... But it's also thoroughly entertaining.

This is nobody's idea of an intelligent political thriller (or satire), but it is an orgy for the senses.

So colossally ridiculous (and transparently derivative) that willing suspension of disbelief is a fool's errand. [Blu-ray]
