There are two halves to Eagle Eye, the new movie that teams Shia LaBouef with his Disturbia director D.J. Caruso. The first half is a genuinely exciting piece of mainstream entertainment that takes one of my favorite plots - the innocent man wrongly accused - and updates it to the new millennium with a technology-driven story that suggests we as human beings are being watched at all times. It really is a chilling idea. The thought that because of all the new technology we are constantly being supervised and that, at every moment of our lives, our whereabouts are known. The movie takes this idea and runs with it for a good hour or so, taking very few false moves along the way. Caruso has given LaBouef another solid vehicle, as Eagle Eye offers LaBouef’s best work yet. Caruso was also smart in pairing him up with one of the best younger actresses around today - Michelle Monaghan - as the two have a weirdly effective chemistry together. After a necessary slow set-up, we’re thrown into an action sequence of LaBouef’s character escaping a holding room that lasts at least twenty minutes or so and is by far the best stuff in the movie. However, as the movie leads into its second half, introducing more material with a somewhat pointless character played by Rosario Dawson, a device involving twins that can be seen from miles away, and a reveal of the villain that makes for a somewhat lackluster finale, Eagle Eye doesn’t have the finest pay-off. Still, there’s enough to enjoy in the film for me to recommend it. It’s one of those great September entertainments that are quickly forgotten about days later. But there’s nothing wrong with that. It has to be said - this director and this leading man have talent. If D.J. Caruso and Shia LaBouef get their hands on a truly great script, we may have something to get excited about.
