Eagle Eye

I heard about this film from my boss several months ago. When the first time I watched its teaser trailer, there's a man who has been controlled by a "phone call", directing him to do something that makes him suspected as a terrorist.



Few days ago, this film has been showing on theater and few friends of mine have watched it. Their comment about this film is: "Thumbs up!". Well, this quite motivated me to have the urge watching this film on upcoming Saturday (yesterday). So, I went to theater and watch it with my friends last night.

We were late and missed at the beginning of the film, which is the important part that describes the motive of the "bad guy" at the end of the film (I have read its plot on wikipedia). The story begins after the mysterious death of Jerry Shaw's (Shia LaBeouf) twin-brother, Ethan Shaw.

The entire film is all about being "eagle eyed". Quite thrilling at first 30 more minutes which is the main actor (Shia LaBeouf) and actress (Michelle Monaghan) who were being directed by a phone call to escape from the police chase. The thriller eventually cool down in the middle of the film, and it put some excitement of computer generated visual effects while they're investigating the truth behind.

There are few points quite disappointed me in the film, such as the true face of that "phone call" is too early show up while I haven't had enough the feeling of curiousness; the technologies it used is too awesome but yet somewhat implausible (who knows it really happen in the future, haha); and some scenes that do not make sense. But overall, this film just thrilling, and its idea, cast and story is good. It's worth to watch :).
