Movie Review: Eagle Eye
For a superpower country like America what is actually the biggest threat for its national security? Soviet Union has long been destroyed. Islam? They have much less weapons and armory compare to the superiority of United States army. So what’s left? That’s what you’re gonna find in this movie. I’m not gonna tell you though as it’s gonna be a major spoiler.
Eagle Eye tells almost everything you need to know about spy, intelligence, conspiracy, and all the technologies involved. But it doesn’t mean to be smart. If it does then it well fails. The movie real intentions actually is only showing many action and thriller sequences to the audiences from start to finish.
The story is quite interesting at the beginning. You could see what this movie offers right from the start, involving scenes from foreign land where US army have some intelligence mission to kill one of their enemy. After that the story rolls. There’s an ordinary guy named Jerry Shaw who suddenly drawn into a mysterious conspiracy. He later joined by Rachel, a single mother with a child.
Both Jerry and Rachel had to experience extraordinary moments of their life through some explosion, guns shooting, and car crash, without really know what’s going on. The conflict even brought them close to very high positions in the government. What is it really about? You can find the answer near the end.
Eagle Eye seems lack of intensity, even for audiences who expect total actions. Some of the action sequences were good in idea, but unfortunately quite standard in executions. Some scenes, especially on the car crash, could’ve been executed in a bigger scale and not really depends on fast editing.
To be honest I was quite disappointed to know what the story is all about. It’s not quite right. I know that Dreamworks and Steven Spielberg involved in this movie but it doesn’t have to be that typical. I also hate the ending. It should’ve been the other way around. I’m not gonna tell you though 
The performance of future big star, Shia LaBeouf was just average. Actully I was thinking that he’s not fit in his role as Jerry Shaw. He needs to build a different image of him during serious action scenes. While for Michelle Monaghan who played Rachel, well I always regard her best with her very good and sexy performance in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) or at least being Tom Cruise’s love interest in Mission Impossible III (2006).
In general Eagle Eye really suits you for a non-stop action/thriller ride. Especially if you can disregard any other aspects in this movie.

sekip..
i do really need comedy movies, now..
after i lost my last-posted without any reason
(komen lagi, gis)
wah, you lost it too many times. Perhaps it’s time for you to consider self hosting
Yup, in fact I’ve been waiting for Tropic Thunder, another comedy by ben stiller 
Sori git, ini film bikin kecewa. Banyak adegan yg ngambil ide film lain, lagian eksyennya jg tanggung, nggak ada hal yg baru. gue cuma penasaran sampai setengah. Gitu si ARIA muncul, bagi gue film udah berakhir.
Save your time for another good movie.
hehe koq pake sori sgala pren, bingung gue hehe
Setuju ama pendapat elo tentang kualitas filmnya. Hehe gue pdhal uda nahan diri buat ngga ngasitau tentang Aria lho, takut spoiler 
But I disagree with your last word my friend. I think we should try to watch the movie to experience ourselves and not only believing or trusting someone else’s judgment. That’s what I’ve been doing so far 
JUduul nya kayak partai Gerindra, dari mata se ekor garuda
bukannya eagle itu artinya elang ya
hmm.. seems interesting, although maybe not too good, but I’ll watch it to kill time
Agree mas Jimmy, this movie is more than enough actually for killing time
I said save your time because I watched it free by internet streaming.
Kalau yg lain nonton pake duit (dibioskop) mendingan simpan duitnya buat nonton film yg lebih bagus, tentu aja ini gak berlaku buat yg lumayan tajir dan punya waktu luang (inget jaman mahasiswa, mau nonton duit terbatas jd hrs pilih2).
If you want to watch a spionage thriller, “body of lies” is better to watch.
wah jadi inget jaman mahasiswa pren. Dulu gue sampe rela puasa biar bisa nongton pilem di BIP
Yg gue tonton jg kadang pilem2x ga jelas. Termasuk pilem Barb Wire nya Pamela Anderson 
Wah I believe you can’t compare both movies my friend. I haven’t watched Body of Lies, but it’s not quite right to compare the legendary Ridley Scott with D.J Caruso. The expectations for both movies should be different. Just my humble opinion 
Nggak perlu pake humble2an. lagian gue nggak bermaksud bandingin karya dua sutradara yg beda kelas, brur. ini cuma buat yg pengen milih nongton model film thriller yg lagi main sekarang. Kalo ngikutin kayak gue sih, dalam 2 hari libur bisa nongton 5 – 6 film gratisan, jelek atw bagus jg disikat gak papa. nantinya khan bisa kasih info buat yg punya sumber terbatas. itung2 ngasih rekomendasi lah.
Barusan nongton film Asia yg lumayan bagus:
The Detective (Hongkong-Thai, produksi Phang Brothers).
Genre: Thriller, Misteri, Pemain: Aaron Kwok
hehe ok pren. Busjet dah, sehari 3 pilem pas libur? Asik jg tuh pren
Sayang koneksi internetr gue ga akan mampu diajak buat streaming nih. Td malem nyobain streaming game Liverpool aja lewat tvone putus mlulu 
Eh btw, Pang Brothers itu yg terakhir bikin Bangkok Dangerous nya Nic Cage bukan yah
apa sih bedanya eagle ama hawk? (jadi inget novel2 bacaan smp he he he…. )
why you look like always so affraid to be a (nice) spoiler?
wah ga tau juga tuh pren. Yg gue tau eagle itu pesawatnya amrik kalo hawk punyanya inggris
I don’t want to disappoint anyone by giving major spoiler before she/he watch the movie pren
