(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 28% Rotten Page   1   "For all its wild and unbelievable traits, 'Eagle Eye' gets the job done, ending one of the driest movie months ever with a bang."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "Rarely has a film been so serious in its underlying implications and intent, and yet so moronic in its execution."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel D "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."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 3.5/5 "Bristling along on one amazing narrative convolution after another, and fueled by fascinating gung ho performances from everyone involved, Eagle Eye is a jovial serving of cinematic junk food."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron D+ "An empty calorie, implausible action film with the sort of visual diarrhea most associated with Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay, Eye squanders a stunning start on a wheezing screenplay obese with mass stupidity and grand theft movie."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 3/10 "Where's Jamie Foxx when you need him?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B+ "We've seen this all before -- but rarely in such an entertaining format. Eagle Eye is like watching an entire season of 24 in two hours flat."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2.5/4 "...one could certainly do far worse as far as movies of this ilk go."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "A loud, muddled and empty sci-fi thriller."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1/4 "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."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C+ "D.J. Caruso's skills (and those of his eager and competent cast) would be better used in a less ludicrous, more plausible story."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "The Kubrickian Hitchcock elements are out front and personal, but D.J. Caruso keeps things nicely slick and swift so the film reminds you, maybe not of those legends, but certainly of someone like John Badham at his 1983 peak."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress "This is nobody's idea of an intelligent political thriller (or satire), but it is an orgy for the senses."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. 2.5/4 "Eagle Eye's simplistic and colorful contrivance is oddly refreshing in its preposterous exuberance...a transparent treat at best. Thoroughly rollicking and roguish..."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "A very juvenile copy of its Hitchcock-Kubrick models, efficiently made in the overwrought mold of contemporary action-adventure movies but a painfully loud--and silly--knockoff of the originals."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "A far-fetched conspiracy story that depicts the growing and pervasive role of technology in our lives."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "Should this film be a huge box office success, it will stand as a sad testament to how low the bar for cinematic entertainment has been set."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/5 "Even though it clearly resides in the realm of science fiction, it appears to be set in the present day, which is more than enough to tweak even the most rational person’s sense of paranoia."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/5 "Eagle Eye isn't horrible, but it does make sure the audience is bruised, buffeted and battered with rock-'em, sock-'em action in a deliberate attempt to shake logical questions about the plot out of their heads."   Redbox   James Rocchi 5/10 "...one long, hyperkinetic chase, with the audience wondering what in the heck is happening."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2/5 "mplekei homage Kubrick kai (alimono) Spielberg me retalia Tony Scott se asmileyto stilaki Michael Bay (stise 5 kameres, peta amaksia deksia ki aristera, traba ta ola, rih' ta sti montaziera, ki opoios bgalei noima, magkia toy), kynigontas intrigkadoriko p"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "A film like Eagle Eye can be an escape. Just don't try to think your way through it, or you might suffer a brain hemorrhage."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C- "So many ideas from other films have been cobbled together the experience of watching it is like being in a blender."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1.5/4 "Noisy, derivative and thoroughly preposterous even by the standards of 21st-century action movies."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "It could be called Why the PATRIOT Act and Total Information Awareness Are Bad... For Dummies."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "The story goes from being a paranoid post-9/11 nightmare to being a goofy piece of sci-fi junk."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "A promising premise, some intense action, and a lively appearance by Billy Bob Thornton might have been enough to squeak this one by as a summer movie."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Determined to remake himself into a mini-Michael Bay (replete with military hardware fetishism!), Caruso shoots primarily in shaky, glossy close-ups that obliterate any sense of spatial proportion, scale or lucidity."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Que filminho estúpido. E divertido."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "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."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "Keeps our attention all the way through, even as the plot gets increasingly preposterous"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D+ "We need to find some new places to stage foot chases, because the airport? It's been done."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux "Attempting to tap into the public's collective fears and suspicions comes D.J. Caruso's preposterous Eagle Eye, an action film with plenty of thrills but I have no idea what alternate reality it's set in."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3/10 "[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."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 0.5/4 "The morons going to Eagle Eye are the ones who would most benefit from its message in spoon-fed form."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "While highly improbably and overly chaotic, the film is entertaining, which is all that really matters from this type of movie."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 28% Rotten Page   1
