With the Government looking in completely the wrong direction, they must try desperately to throw the mysterious woman caller off their scent and derail the nefarious plans, lest more people die. Not everything is as it seems, and the closer Jerry and Rachel get to the end game, the final act, the closer they get to their own deaths. This film is simply a brain-stopping action film, a thriller of the highest order, with red-herrings and double takes thrown into the script for good measure. Perez (Rosario Dawson) discovers the reason for Shaw and Holloman (as well as a number of other seemingly innocent US citizens) have been forced to do things they normally wouldn’t is the ultimate gambit from a powerful, incorruptible force that has gone awry, a force that not even the US government seems capable of stopping.
Air Force Spec Ops Agent Zoe Perez (Shaw’s brother worked for the Air Force, so she has a connection to Shaw due to national interest) seems to think there’s more to it than a simple terrorist cell being activated, and digs a little deeper to find the truth. Pursuing them is FBI agent Thomas Morgan (Billy Bob Thornton) who thinks that Shaw is a dangerous terrorist, and obviously Holloman is his accomplice. Shaw and Monaghan are forced together by the mysterious woman caller, who appears to be able to control everything from traffic lights to computer files in supposedly secure locations: Shaw and Holloman soon learn that refusing to obey the woman caller is a dangerous and deadly thing to do.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan, who many will recognize as Tom Cruise’s girlfriend in Mission Impossible III), a single mother whose son is on a train bound for Washington to play the trumpet in an interschool competition, is also called by the mysterious woman, who tells her that unless she complies with her instructions, the train carrying her son will be derailed. What does concern him (and us) is the fact that the woman on the phone tells him he’s “been activated”, something that doesn’t sit well with the anti-authoritarian youth. Pleading his innocence, and seemingly being helped by the mysterious woman on the phone, Shaw escapes FBI custody and begins a massive cross-country chase with the intent of… well, he doesn’t quite know what. His phone rings, and he’s told that he’s about to arrested by the FBI, who, in turn, bust through his door and do so with abrupt promptness. Upon returning home from the funeral, he discovers his apartment contains a huge quantity of military weaponry and fertilizer, all good things with which to make bombs. LaBeouf plays Jerry Shaw, a slacker no-hoper twin brother to a US military soldier who is killed in a car wreck. Review : Breathless action film, filled with dazzling set pieces and a seemingly carefree ability to escape logic, Eagle Eye is one heck of an adrenaline rush.Įxciting, frenetic and breathless action film starring Shia LaBeouf, the hottest young talent to come out of Hollywood the last few years, Eagle Eyeis yet another expansion on the Big Brother element of Governmental control, spies and technology run amok. Synopsis:When a young man and woman are blackmailed into doing things by a mysterious phone caller, it sets in motion a chain of events that will eventually lead them to the White House and the most diabolical plan ever conceived. Cast : Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Billy Bob Thornton, Rosario Dawson, Julianne Moore,Michael Chiklis, Anthony Mackie, Ethan Embry, Anthony Azizi, Cameron Boyce.
