Eagle Eye (2008)
Director: DJ Caruso
Movie review
From Time Out Chicago
Let’s see if your eagle eye is working: After being falsely accused of high crimes (North by Northwest), our heroes find the whole of modern technology turned against them (Enemy of the State) except for one helpful voice on a cell phone (The Matrix), while a twangy federal agent chases them through government buildings (The Fugitive) and an ominous, red-orbed computer (2001) makes evil plans to take out the President (The Manchurian Candidate). To call Eagle Eye derivative is an understatement; the greater sin is how snoozy this Spielberg-produced anxiety drama feels, even with all sorts of objects flying toward your head.Author: Joshua Rothkopf
