Reviews by Score:
New Republic (Christopher Orr)
It might merit a B-minus in the silly popcorn movie category if it didn't unwisely decide, toward the end, that it wasn't willing to be just a silly popcorn movie. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at New Republic (Christopher Orr)
BrianOrndorf.com (Brian Orndorf)
A high-tech paranoia thriller with severe terrorism and patriotism overtones, “Eagle Eye” will be best remembered as the film where director D.J. Caruso sold his soul to the wicked Hollywood machine. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at BrianOrndorf.com (Brian Orndorf)
Flipside Movie Emporium (Rob Vaux)
Each new twist produces the kind of incredulous guffaws normally reserved for Uwe Boll pictures, combed with the pedestrian technical details to doom the entire affair. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Flipside Movie Emporium (Rob Vaux)
Washington Post (Neely Tucker)
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. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Washington Post (Neely Tucker)
Antagony & Ecstasy (Tim Brayton)
[LaBeouf]'s just not very credible in elaborate action set-pieces, although at least this time he's not trying to convince us that he's a '50s greaser. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Antagony & Ecstasy (Tim Brayton)
Dallas Morning News (Tom Maurstad)
Forget suspending disbelief; you would have to suspend consciousness to go along with this story. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Dallas Morning News (Tom Maurstad)
Minneapolis Star Tribune (Colin Covert)
The film is a rag bag of concepts and characters from earlier, vastly better movies. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Minneapolis Star Tribune (Colin Covert)
Onion AV Club (Nathan Rabin)
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. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Onion AV Club (Nathan Rabin)
Bangor Daily News (Maine) (Christopher Smith)
It's a terrible movie. You could go into any supermarket, pluck two reasonably attractive people from the check-out line, put them in this movie, and nothing would change. Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan are lost amid the dumb, uninvolving chaos. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Bangor Daily News (Maine) (Christopher Smith)
Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
A loud, muddled and empty sci-fi thriller. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
Movie Retriever (Brian Tallerico)
Unwilling to do anything in moderation, the four people it took to write one of the worst screenplays of the year almost seem to be playing a game where they have to top each other with each stupid twist. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Movie Retriever (Brian Tallerico)
TheMovieBoy.com (Dustin Putman)
By the time Jerry and Rachel are riding around on airport conveyer belts while Agent Morgan, in hot pursuit, stumbles over luggage behind them, the film has lost all semblance of sanity and focus. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at TheMovieBoy.com (Dustin Putman)
FromTheBalcony (Bill Clark)
The screenwriters, four in all, and director D.J. Caruso completely squander any opportunity to be original and instead opt to make a generic and completely unsatisfying thriller. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at FromTheBalcony (Bill Clark)
Urban Cinefile (Andrew L. Urban)
It's presented as a thriller, and it is, but Eagle Eye is also a political film. It's not a very good political film, nor is it a very good thriller, ironically enough because it wants to be very good at both. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at Urban Cinefile (Andrew L. Urban)
New York Daily News (Joe Neumaier)
Finally, an action-adventure thriller that feels as if it were created, directed and acted, soup to nuts, by a computer program. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at New York Daily News (Joe Neumaier)
efilmcritic.com (Peter Sobczynski)
two hours of absolute nonsense that is easily the noisiest action film to come around the pike since "Transformers" and quite possibly the dumbest one to boot. ...read the complete Eagle Eye movie review at efilmcritic.com (Peter Sobczynski)
