Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) is a slacker who works at Copy Cabana--until he returns home after receiving bad news about his brother to find his apartment filled with incriminating packages, and receives a phone call from a mysterious woman advising him to vacate the premises immediately. Single mom Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) also finds herself at the mercy of the mystery caller after seeing her young son off on an overnight school trip. Soon, these two strangers find themselves caught in a tangled web, taking directions from the female caller who makes it very clear that if they disobey her, there will be consequences for them and their families. They have no control over the course that's been set in motion. But the real question is, who is making these calls and what is their ultimate goal? Filled with explosive action, car crashes, and high-tech hi-jinx, this thriller moves at breakneck speed. Technology is the co-star here: electronic signs relay the next move to Jerry and Rachel, traffic lights change as needed, and strangers' cell phones ring with directions. The strong supporting human cast includes Billy Bob Thornton as a hard-nosed FBI agent who is investigating LaBeouf for terrorism, and Michael Chiklis as the Secretary of Defense. Rosario Dawson, Ethan Embry, and Anthony Mackie also star in the film, for which Steven Spielberg served as executive producer. LaBeouf remains an interesting young actor, able to move from action sequences to emotional moments with ease, and Monaghan protects her screen son with a mother's ferocity. [More]

Reviews for Eagle Eye
Eagle Eye, with a more nuanced idea of paranoia and the ills of technology gone wild, could have been both entertaining and disturbing. Deafening isn't quite the same thing.
Noisy, derivative and thoroughly preposterous even by the standards of 21st-century action movies.
It all wears very thin by the third act, when The Voice really starts to grate and all remaining sense slams into a brick wall.
The chase eventually wears thin, and Eagle Eye eventually strangles its actors in the threads of its plot.
[Director Caruso] has done a masterful job of maintaining suspense, keeping the stunts mind-blowing and dressing the visuals in the bleak hues and gritty style of a '70s paranoid thriller.
The movie doesn't have three brain cells to rub together, but the premise carries it a long way.
At the very least, Eagle Eye gives us two principals who are appealing enough to keep us interested in them.
Should this film be a huge box office success, it will stand as a sad testament to how low the bar for cinematic entertainment has been set.
Eagle Eye should boast all sorts of contemporary resonance. But it'd probably feel just a little bit timelier and more relevant if it took place in a universe that bore even the faintest resemblance to our own.
The more that's revealed about the forces at work on Jerry and Rachel, the less interesting the plot becomes.
Eagle Eye is big, loud and expensive, but it's not particularly entertaining.
There are lots of new wrinkles to ponder about American surveillance, but it seems that all the writers have surveilled is HBO.
As the absurd contrivances mount, and the omnipotence of the shadowy conspiracy becomes more and more hard to buy into, the movie loses its footing.
We've seen this all before -- but rarely in such an entertaining format. Eagle Eye is like watching an entire season of 24 in two hours flat.
Finally, an action-adventure thriller that feels as if it were created, directed and acted, soup to nuts, by a computer program.
The film is a rag bag of concepts and characters from earlier, vastly better movies.
